Super convenient and picturesque spot right in the heart of old town Funchal and within walking distance of marina, shops, restaurants and cable car. Lovely rooftop with views over town and marina with bar and small (heated) pool. Breakfast great but eating area not so charming - might have been better using restaurant at front of hotel for more space and light. We stayed in deluxe room city view at front of hotel and were pleasantly surprised by small balcony with sea views - the only downside of this was live music outside noisy if you wanted an early night !!! Overall very glad we stayed here rather than in built up soulless tourist area on other side of marina.

Nice hotel but loud nightclub next door

There is a nightclub (not prt of the hotel) playing loud music until 4 am on Saturday morning. This made sleeping very difficult. The staff were fantastic. Attention to detail on room cleaning could be improved. The free mini bar was appreciated. Nice views from the rooftop.

Great central property, within easy walking distance to restaurants, parks and shopping areas. They offered one of the best breakfast buffets I have had in a hotel, lovely touches in room over the Christmas period. Room was well appointed, but bathroom showing a bit of wear and tear. The shower pressure was great though. Most of the reception staff were friendly. The restaurant attached to the hotel was really nice. Overall, a great stay and would come back again.

Great hotel, dedicated and very professional service from staff, and location is perfect. The only cont is parking, there is not at the hotel, and only options are public parking on the street (very difficult to get one spot), or some garage parking few blocks from the hotel. Overall great hotel

Failing on a few levels - not recommended sadly.

Unfortunately not such a good stay. The hotel just isn’t 5* on many levels. We had issues with the noise at the hotel, being located on a little street with a very loud bar a few doors down which made a lot of noise until 04:00 on a Thursday night. Not the hotels fault per se but they were aware of it and should have let us know or offered another room. We arrived at breakfast at 10:00 to find scraps of food and a really poor collection of food. Quality and variety was lacking for a supposed 5* hotel. Coffee was self served on a machine that was not good at all. We upgraded to a suite, no bath, a small sofa… really no point in upgrading at all. Some of the staff were lovely, as is often the case on the island. Some were less engaging and interested. There is no parking available at, or near, the hotel. 10 minute walk away.
