The staff were extremely helpful, coordinated rides for my arrival from the airport and back to the airport. Everyone was very helpful. The breakfasts were lovely!!
The location is very near the harbor as well as near restaurants and shopping, it's also very near the new casino.

Staff were very helpful, property was clean. Good location. Would recommend. Only negative was that the beds really squeaked when you lay down on them - and sound insulation wasn’t the best but would def stay again regardless of these minor points.

Did not like the giant cockroach running about the room. Despite the proximity to the ferry terminal we could not get breakfast in time to catch the ferry.
Staff were nice though

Nice hotel with good access to Funchal. On side of a hill so there is some uphill walking. Staff very helpful.
Cons:- creaky bed, no tea/coffe making facilities in room. balconies are very close.

Great location. Easy walking distance into and around Funchal.
Greeted warmly by reception staff.
I cannot remember her name, but she was very friendly and helpful. She gave me advice/suggestions on where i should travel around the island, what foods and drinks to try out and where i could go out to try them.
The breakfast buffet was what i expected. The room was clean and tidy. I had a little balcony with 2 chairs and a table that i could use. The only downside in the room was a panel on the wood floor that had been not replaced after damage. And additionally, the bathroom sink tap was leaking. Had to use a towel to soak up the water the 4 nights that i stayed.

Bright, modern hotel within easy reach of town
Posted 22 Apr 2017
Pros: Pleasant atmosphere, nice staff, well-appointed room, attractive communal areas. They`ve got it right.
Cons: Couldn`t ask for more at the rates we paid
Location: Short walk to Funchal town centre. Excellent selection of reasonably priced seafood restaurants. The cable car & Monte Gardens are well worth a visit.
Recently refurbished small hotel in a quiet side street overlooking the harbour. Ikea-ish décor. Immaculately clean, swimming pool, friendly & professional staff, buffet breakfasts. 15 minute walk into town. We`ve paid a lot more for a lot less. This was a good experience. Recommended.
