Excellent location - everything is a very short walk away including 2 good shopping centres The Marina and Dolce Vita. The hotel is quite basic but very clean and the staff are extremely helpful and courteous. We did not have a balcony with our room which was a little disappointing but the room was comfortable.There is a small coffee/drinks/snack bar... more

We booked the hotel directly this year having previousy stayed here on a Thomsons holiday in 2002. The hotel is located in the heart of Funchal next to a small but pretty park. If you want to wander around Funchal in the evening without worrying about taxis or buses you will find its location ideal. If you intend to use... more

Closest hotel to the centre of Funchal - everything is within walking distance (most hotels are set miles to the West of Funchal). Moden, very clean but above all one of the most helpful hotels I have ever stayed in. No request was too much trouble and the staff all genuinely care about the guests enjoyment - there's plenty of... more

Not particularly noisy despite the central location. Our room was nice with a balcony that (diagonally) overlooked the park. P.S. there is a vegetarian cafe in the shopping complex on your right... more

It's good to be able to just stroll out of the front door of the hotel, wander around Funchal, sample the cafes and restaurants and stroll back for a... more

Just returned from a delightful stay at this hotel. While the rooms are on the small side, the bathrooms are up to date and very spacious. Hotel serves a good buffet breakfast and is close to all there is to see in downtown Funchal. Would definitely return. Staff extemely helpful and gracious. more
