Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a lovely area, close to everything yet peaceful. The rooms are a bit old but quiet at night, with a small kitchenette and a full-size fridge. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Nidia who handles breakfast. The location is amazing, with a supermarket nearby and just a short walk to town. The dining experience is continental, without breakfast. The facilities are convenient and well-maintained.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were comfortable and nicely renovated, equipped with a flat LCD television offering plenty of cable channels. The location is perfect, nestled in the charming old town with beautiful narrow cobbled streets, and just a short walk from central Funchal. The service was exceptional, especially from the kind cleaning lady and cafeteria staff. Everything was great, from the helpful escort to our rooms to the array of services available. The dining experience was delightful with plentiful continental options. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
Staying in this hotel was a delightful experience. The location is fantastic, nestled in an old part of town with lovely narrow streets, and just a short stroll away from central Funchal. The rooms are cozy, with a small kitchenette for added convenience. The service was top-notch, with a warm and welcoming staff eager to assist with local insights. The proximity to the supermarket and town center is a definite plus. However, the tight one-way streets may pose a challenge for drivers.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms felt like small apartments equipped with everything you could need, although I did hear some dogs barking in the vicinity, which seems quite common in Portugal. The location was excellent, within the old Funchal town center, making it easy to walk around and explore the area. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly and very helpful, especially the cleaning lady and the cafeteria attendant. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a variety of options at a good value. However, the narrow streets around the hotel made traffic passing a bit tight at times, and there were some minor noise disturbances from barking dogs.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. The staff was incredibly nice and even helped me when I forgot my suit. The location was excellent, right at the center of Funchal, making everything easily accessible. The dining experience was tasty and convenient, though a bit on the pricier side. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my stay.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful! The location is superb, with local sights, amenities, and shops right at your fingertips. The rooms are not only quaint and individual but also offer a beautiful view of the hillside and garden. Plus, the small kitchenette with full cooking facilities was a great bonus for those looking for convenience and value for money.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel located in the old part of town with charming narrow streets, just a short walk away from central Funchal. The rooms were a bit worn out compared to the pictures but still cozy.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant surprise in many aspects. The rooms, priced at 25 euros per day without breakfast for my week-long stay in late November 2007, exceeded my expectations. The towels were changed every day, and the rooms were very clean, comfortable, and had a bathroom with a bath. However, the price for the rooms without breakfast was a great value for money.
My week-long stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although smaller than expected from the photos, were kept clean with regular towel changes. The location was convenient for reaching central Funchal but had some drawbacks, such as paid parking and distance to specific attractions like the Lido's seawater pools. The friendly and helpful service made up for some of the downsides, offering various assistance like room service and tours. The dining options, while plentiful, were not on-site. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel is conveniently within easy walking distance of central Funchal, offering a good location for exploring the city. The rooms, despite being a little dusty and lacking proper fans, provide decent comfort. The dining experience is standard but good value for the price. The hotel's facilities are functional but may need some freshening up.
