Really friendly and helpful staff, great WiFi really high speed and fantastic location

Andy United Kingdom

The room was decent for the price paid. The location is ideal. Aerobus goes very close to there. There is a nice terrace. The staff were very helpful and polite. Breakfast was very good. Wifi good. All good. On my second night there was a party outside my window (not in the hotel's control) and I couldn't sleep. I went to reception and they changed my room to the other side of the hotel at no cost, which was perfectly quiet, they let me keep my stuff in the previous room so I didnt have to move everything in the middle of the night, so I essentially had access to two rooms until I checked out - I really appreciate that.

Pappas United Kingdom

Location was ideal, staff were lovely and very helpful.

Molly Ireland

Staff was very helpful with organizing public transport.

Lenka Slovakia

The location was excellent, very central but we had difficulty locating the hotel as it is a single entrance door with reception on the mezzanine floor and rooms above. We were on the first floor. Breakfast was really good with hot and cold food and coffee or tea made for you but you have to collect. Rooms cleaned everyday and staff very nice.

Tim United Kingdom

Very good location. Center. Quiet neighborhood. Didn't want to pay too much because most of the time I wasn't at the hotel, so it was very good choice. Just unfortunatelly I found 5th floor terasa the day when I was leaving.

Sandra Norway

The location is fantastic and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Helena Portugal

There could be no better location for a hotel in Funchal! It is located right in the city centre, next to the Cathedral. The hotel building is cosy, classic Portuguese style, our room was spacious, well equipped and the lady at the reception was exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful.

Daniel Hungary

Location is great, very central. Staff very nice. Place was clean, beds comfortable and room very large with nice view. Breakfast simple but ok.

Tereza Czech Republic

Excellent staff, very friendly and extraordinarily helpful.
