For the location and price, this hotel was great. It is a budget hotel, I had to side step to fit into the bathroom (I’m 5’ 4” pretty small- can’t imagine someone bigger than me) and the AC didn’t work well. I ended up keeping my window open at night (I went in September). But the breakfast was great and the views from the restaurant & rooftop were stunning.

It is an excellent hotel. I still remember the breakfasts we had every morning. One downside is that the elevator only fits 2-3 people, so we always had to take the stairs, even to the 6th floor where the restaurant was. There was often a queue to the elevator on every floor.

Good food, great views from the rooftop restaurant and near the centre of Funchal so a great base from which to travel around. Not five stars as the hot water in the shower went from cold to hot very quickly. Other than that, cannot fault it.

Excellent

Lovely hotel, very impressed with the cleanliness and comfort and very good value for money. Hot shower, comfy beds and so clean and nice. The only draw back was very difficult to park (no parking at Hotel) and one very noisy breakfast member of staff slamming plates and cutlery eager to finish breakfast both mornings at service half an hour before the end of service. Made breakfast a bit uncomfortable. The rest was excellent and would definitely return. Lovely Hotel and lovely staff otherwise. Definitely worth a visit and look forward to returning.

Great location, terribly uncomfortable rooms.

Hotel was in a great location with an amazing rooftop sitting area and restaurant. And that’s where the good news ends. The room was abhorrently loud, we felt like we were sleeping in the middle of the road. You can hear the neighbors talking, sneezing, snoring, and the traffic all day and night. The beds were uncomfortable, the shower water went from cold to lava, back to cold again every 10 seconds. Overall an uncomfortable couple of days.

It's a nice three stars hotel, a little bit old but comfortable and not far from the center of Funchal, so you will be at walking distance of almost everything. Breakfast was nice, and the hotel staff was friendly.

Central location, good for a few nights

I stayed two nights. I liked the location as it is central and I could walk to most sights and shops and restaurants. The hotel has a nice 360 degree rooftop and ok breakfast buffet. As most Portuguese hotels, the walls to the neighbouring rooms were ridiculously thin, which was very annoying as I had to listen to the neighbours conversations when trying to sleep.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was tiny. Bathroom even smaller. An average size person would not be able to move in the bathroom facility. I am a small woman and it was difficult using the toilet and shower. Although I could not hear voices in the surrounding two rooms, I heard every flush of the toilets and the sound of the toilets and the showers being used. I have stayed in this facility three times in the past and have never had this issue. I was placed at the end of a hallway with two rooms on either side of which I could hear all the water sounds. On the plus side air conditioning did work.

The hotel is very centrally located and within walking distance of many city attractions. However, the room was not nice and had no view. The breakfast was fine. In my opinion, the best thing about the hotel is definitely the location.
