This is a charming old fashioned hotel that is quite tired and in need of a refit, but offers great value in a good location, with the best views that you could wish for over Funchal. If you are looking for a modern hotel with the latest facilities then this is not it. There is however a small unheated pool... More

The place certainly had character even if it lacked other things. My room, on the top floor, only had a small skylight but there was a small balcony overlooking the back of the hotel. The room was quiet and the bed comfy. Nothing hot at breakfast, but plenty to fill up on for the day. The staff spoke good English... More

Nice and friendly staff, good breakfast, marvellous view of the island, a very good place to relax and enjoy the cozy time in Funchal. The facility may need some upgrade considering the rent is not super low. But if you are not a person demand a lot, it is still recommended as the hotel is with a nice environment and... More

We stayed here for a week in February 2013 and really enjoyed it. The place was built in the 1920s and is full of character with an eclectic mix of styles, photographs and paintings throughout.

Whole place smelled of stale tobacco and in... More

I stayed in this hotel during the Christmas holidays of 2012. It looks a bit worn from the outside and the inside looks very 70's like, but this is where you want to stay! I am sure this is the best hotel overall you can find in Funchal, nothing less. The service is very polite and the employees speak English... More

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights starting on 30/8/12 before moving on the a 5 start hotel for 2 weeks. We booked hotels either side of the main hotel which was a monday to monday changeover in order to get substantial reductions on the cost of easyjet flights which are more costly monday to monday.
