"This very dated hotel is central so that makes it quite good. The rooms are fine and there are things to do. The food is average and flavourless. The staff seem always unhappy and overall I would say it is fine because of location but quite expensive given how dated and how I felt the service was. They had said I would stay in my room for 2 nights given a tour group I was joining night 2 - yet they yelled at me at the front desk and make me move in a rushed format when I went to confirm. I would not stay here again."

"My wife and I stayed for 5 nights. The owner/manager, Daniel, was really great with communication pre/during our stay, which we appreciated. We stayed in the triple room, which had a great view but small balcony, and the room overall was small but enough space to crash at the end of a long day. Location is great, but be prepared to hear bass music until early morning hours on the weekends from nearby clubs. It’s very close to downtown, less than 5 min walk from the main downtown area, but far enough away that you can escape the tourists for a bit. We are vegan/gluten free, so we couldn’t do breakfast that was offered. There’s a kitchen and a fridge if you want to buy your own groceries. Coffee is self serve and cost 0,50€. Lots of stairs, but we’re able bodied so it wasn’t too bad. Overall, great experience for the price. Would book again. "

"Amazing "

"Aircondition wasn’t as cold as we would have liked."

"Great location easy walk into downtown Funchal. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Ocean view recommended!! Weekend techno music wasn't my cup of tea. Weekend cleaning the room not great"

"Beautiful hotel with a quiet peaceful atmosphere."

"Beautiful resort. Great food. Lots of options on things to do. Cleaning Staff forgot to stock our fridge with drinks and water at times. Had trouble the last few days getting reservations at restaurants due to there only being 2 open each night. Would recommend having someone available to cart people to their suites day and night as quite a hike uphill to a lot of suites. The restaurant Voce was wonderful for lunch. Stunning views and easy access to a wide variety of activities. The bar had live music and silent discos, which was all fun. We’d come back again for sure."

"I had a fantastic stay. Only criticism was with the spa. The steam room wasn’t operational when I paid it a visit even though it was within the stated opening hours."

"Lovely spacious room with a comfortable bed. It was clean and modern. Staff were professional, efficient and helpful. "
