what a shocker this place was. i was underwhelmed by the self-service breakfast, especially with hot drinks—seriously, table service, anyone? also, my air conditioning malfunctioned for days! with so many hotels around, why wasn’t i given a better room upgrade? i almost considered giving a good review but, sorry, just couldn’t.

The staff were super nice and accommodating.

I can't believe how inconvenient the parking was. it was incredibly stressful trying to maneuver my car into those tight spaces. To make matters worse, the room we were given had significant issues with the air conditioning, making it impossible to sleep comfortably at night. the breakfast offerings were disappointing for a hotel of this caliber, lacking any real variety.

A. Excellent breakfast variety
B. Stunning bay view
C. Helpful reception staff

A. Outdated room curtains
B. Complicated lighting controls
C. Lack of gluten-free cakes

Room upgrade pleasantly surprised us.

view from the balcony across the bay, less than 10 minutes walk to restaurants, oasis of calm despite city location

Air conditioning turning off at night during warm temperatures is unacceptable!!! Cleaning was lackluster, leaving old stains and unclean areas!!! The parking space is tight, making it stressful to navigate!!!

Stunning sea views in Funchal! 🌊🌞

What a lekker spot! The view from our room was just breathtaking, watching the sunset over the bay. Breakfast outside was such a vibe with all the delicious options. Staff were super friendly and so helpful, made us feel right at home!

Just one thing, the parking area was a bit tight, had to do a bit of maneuvering with our bakkie.

Had a great time with friends! Enjoyed a stroll in the tropical gardens, then relaxed with a dip in the pool. The location is perfect for a pleasant walk along the coast towards Praia Formosa. Fun entertainment programs and live music also added to our experience. Would recommend!

There were some ants in the room during our stay, which was not pleasant. A bit of attention to pest control would definitely help future guests.

The breakfast selection was impressive, especially the variety of alternative milks. however, I found the room's curtains outdated. I'd go back anytime for those views.

quaint walkable gem with stunning views and nearby attractions

my stay was enhanced by the breathtaking view from my room that overlooked the bay, and the hotel's prime position made it just a few steps to landmarks like the St Tiago Fort and nearby bustling restaurants, allowing me to explore Funchal with ease and enjoy its vibrant atmosphere.

We really enjoyed the hotel's ideal location, just a short walk to fantastic restaurants and shops. The tranquil atmosphere allowed us to relax and unwind after exploring the local sights, and the stunning balcony views over the bay enhanced our stay significantly.

We found it disappointing that there was no dining option available at the hotel itself.

exceptional views from the balcony overlooking the bay

great location, beautiful pool

small parking space

loved the location, super close to the old town and so many restaurants to choose from! breakfast had a good variety and i really appreciated the gluten free options. the staff were friendly, especially the guys at the bar and reception. we got a room upgrade which was amazin! the view from our room was beautiful, overlooking the bay.

the parking was tight and kinda stressful, and there was no tea or coffee in the room.

The sea view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, making mornings delightful. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the city center and local restaurants. parking was a bit of a hassle, with tight spaces that required careful maneuvering, and I encountered issues with the air conditioning that disrupted my sleep.

Good breakfast selection. Staff were friendly, especially Rui at the bar. Wi-fi was poor.

Stunning views and a peaceful retreat

Our stay was enhanced by the breathtaking view from our balcony that overlooked the bay, making every morning a delight. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel's quiet ambiance, allowing us to relax away from the hustle of Funchal, yet still being less than 10 minutes' walk to various restaurants and the city center. The pool provided a refreshing escape after our daily adventures in the vibrant surroundings, further adding to our wonderful experience. it would have been great to have a dining option available at the hotel itself.
