Good information before arrival. Pleasant and helpful service. I recommend it :)
Room with private bathroom, very nice and clean; the staff are very kind and in general the whole place is clean and safe.
Very modern and comfortable. The air conditioning was quiet and worked well. The bathrooms are spacious and clean, and there are enough of them for all guests.

Honesty
Is Madalena for you?
Yes, if…
- You want to sleep downtown and do everything on foot, without a car.
- You value cleanliness and a curtained bed more than hotel service.
- You like cooking and meeting people without being made to socialise.
- You enjoy socialising and meeting other travellers, at your own pace.
- You arrive by train, bus or plane and want to let yourself in by code, at any hour.
Maybe not, if…
- You're travelling with children: the house is adults-only, 18+.
- You need your own parking at the door.
- You want a served breakfast and room service.
- You're after absolute silence: this is a living house with shared areas.
