well after reading some of the reviews wasnt expecting too much but was very pleased and surprised. The Hotel is in a marvelous location on a busy road but once inside you cant hear it nor can you hear it too much from the pool area and nothing in studios. The Hotel is spotlessly clean with friendly staff, we stayed... More

Good hotel, due for a refurbishment so is closing for a few months in Oct. Situated on the flat so not a bad walk into town. Rooms are a good size as is the bathroom, there is a kettle but you have to provide tea or coffee, there is a useful mini fridge so you can keep the milk cool... More

We visited this hotel in May and found it to be a good base for enjoying Funchal and its gardens and for excursions around the island. It is a popular hotel with busy meal times, but we never had a queue at the buffet although there were mornings when we had difficulty in finding a breakfast table. This is because... More

The hotel is nothing to set the world alight but it is just about fine in most places. The rooms are clean and tidy though in need of a bit of tlc. The food is all of good quality but just lacking that bit more choice. Most hotels I have been in have a choice of 2 soups in the... More

Not the best looking hotel from the outside but once you enter then you will be converted, considering the hotel is closing for 5 months in October this year for a complete re-fit the standards are excellent and I would return to this hotel again. Food: Breakfast, good selection but has the slowest toasters I've ever used. Evening Meal, again... More

Stopped 29/04/13 for one week. As previously stated initial impressions from the front of the hotel are not inspiring, However don't be put off. The Hotel itself although a little tired looking now, is clean and comfortable, with everything necessary for a good stay. Our room was on the 9th floor with sea view. A lovely view and peaceful. In... More

The hotel is located in the main hotel district. It is about a 20 minute walk in the main town. The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but it was in a really good location, I'm really fussy with food on holiday, and this is the nicest food i've had in a foreign hotel. There was a lot... More

Weather very poor, cloud cover,rain every day. When we did sit out by pool it was deserted which is not good to get anyone in the holiday mood. Food-breakfast their was a choice of hot cooked food,cold meat and cheeses or fruit and cereal all of which were of poor quality. If you enjoy the English choice of hot food... More

Stayed half-board in a twin studio room on the 5th floor. It was spacious, clean & comfortable, with a mini-fridge, kettle, & small balcony with part-sea view. The room faced the inner hotel complex, overlooking the pools, & was quiet. The bathroom had a clothesline for swimsuits. There was a daily housekeeping service. The buffet meals were more than adequate,... More
