Excellent location within walking distance of Central Funchal and right next door to the beautiful Old Fort. Perfect hotel for the Marina, old town restaurants, cable car ( 2 mins), the Market, bus stops etc Rituals bath products, pool towels, robes, slippers are provided and are great to save case space. Decent breakfast buffet served between 7.30 and 10.30am. This 4 star hotel is a medium size and charming....excellent value ..and much nicer than the large modern 5 star hotels just out of town _ both for location and value. We would stay again if returning to Funchal. Recommended restaurants in easy walking distance : 'Portitaliano' on Rua Sao Fransisco opposite the municipal Gardens ( 20 mins walk) 'Sante Maria' on Rua Sante Maria ( 5 mins walk)

Everything about this hotel is wonderful - the location, the views, the pools and jacuzzis, the staff and breakfast. The rooms are spacious and have everything you might want. Perfect.

Heather United Kingdom

We had a lovely stay, the hotel was very clean and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub on the rooftop. The staff was very helpful and nice. Everything was just perfect and well thought. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Karolina France

Mike United Kingdom

Beautiful hotel staff were friendly and very helpful.

Bernie Ireland

Really enjoyed our stay here. Cleanliness and facilities in the hotel are great. There was a great selection on the breakfast buffet. My only suggestions would be to offer an egg station to cook eggs/ omelettes to order. Lovely roof terrace area if your looking for more space and somewhere a bit quieter.

Lynette United Kingdom

The location was great. All the services in the Hotel were excellent

Oonagh United Kingdom

Perfect location close to restaurants within the old town and short stroll to harbour. Bed was very comfortable and the facilities excellent. Would highly recommend.

Daniel Ireland

excellent location, great breakfast, roof top jacuzzi, comfortable room, friendly staff

Debbie United Kingdom

Just loved everything about this excellent hotel. We had a junior suite that gave us plenty of room and an independence that was great. The food was exceptional with fizzy wine at breakfast and an excellent a la carte dinner menu.
