We had an amazing stay! The hotel staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. The rooms are very spacious, well-equipped, and have comfortable beds. Great location! There are plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel parking can be tricky, but we had no trouble finding street parking close by, so it wasn't an issue for us.
We also enjoyed the indoor pool at their sister hotel's spa; it was lovely and a great experience for the whole family.

We enjoyed our stay here, the room was clean and spacious. Some people in our group had updated rooms so they are in the process of renovating however ours was great. We had a little kitchenette, separate bedroom, living area. The staff was very accommodating, it was close to many great restaurants and the waterfront. The pool area was spacious, and great views of the area. We walked downtown which was about 40min but easy to get Uber or bus nearby.

Breakfast was good. Service was good.
Rooms were clean- lack of suitable furniture in the common room (take over-abundance of furniture from the lobby and use it in older style rooms). Ocean view from room was good - even though there is no balcony off the room (which was larger than normal, I think)

They have changed their categories of Deluxe Seaview to include floors 2 and 3. You cannot apparently be SURE you have a room on floors 5 to 12, even if you are staying for a month. This was our 3rd year staying at the property, and check in wanted us to take a room on the lower “tree view” “traffic view” floors. If they change their policy, I will give them a better review.

There is no air conditioning anywhere in this building. The parking situation was very confusing. It is difficult to find the actual building as there is only a small name in glass above the door. Young woman at desk was very unhelpful, even stating that there were NO good restaurants in Funchal when we asked for a reservation. Breakfast was just mediocre.

On the plus side, the room was huge, pool area very nice, and area was very quiet.

Location of the hotel was good. Staff was very nice and friendly. Pool area was clean. The only problem was that we got a room that did not look like the pictures at all. It’s clear that many rooms have been renovated (and hence the pictures). However our room was dark and gloomy. The kitchen was in a dark room that looked like a bathroom… we were disappointed…

Read the fine print when booking this hotel! We booked thru Expedia. Found out our booking did not include a room with air conditioning, the safe did not include a lock (which makes no sense) and the breakfast was an extra charge. Our room did not have a ceiling fan, although the receptionist who checked us in insisted it did. We had to ask every day for a room fan and finally got it on our last day. Even with the patio door open, the room was very hot. Kitchen was adequate, but no towels (we had to use our bath towels)

Good quality accommodation at an excellent price. It’s not the Ritz but the room we had was comfortable and had a pleasant sea view. The breakfast was included and was very good. There are many restaurants nearby and it’s also on a main bus route with the centre of Funchal less than 10 minutes away. If you are looking for a comfortable budget stay on this wonderful island this could be for you.

This 3 star hotel ticked all the boxes for us. Although the corridors seemed a little old fashioned and the bathroom was an old design (navy blue tiles, so seemed dark) everything was clean and functional. Buffet breakfast was first class and the themed evening meals (buffet style again)were great and good value for money. Rooms cleaned daily. The bed was a little hard (but that would be my preference). There was plenty of space in the apartment and room to hang clothes up and store suitcases. Nice balcony with 2 chairs and table. All staff friendly and helpful. The only thing I could have done with was another pillow and a smaller towel for drying my hair. Would recommend!

The hotel is not far from Funchal town 20-30mins walk or easy access via a buse journey. There is plenty around the hotel to keep you in the hotel neighbourhood, just go and explore!
The staff was very friendly and happy to help when solicited.

The hotel is in a great location, very close to Lido, there is a supermarket very close by and lots of restaurants too. We walked from the hotel to the centre of Funchal in 1 hour and it was a very pleasant walk too. We had a great sea and swimming pool view from our room. We had an infant and the room and hotel were very good to accommodate his needs, we can only fault one thing, in the breakfast area there was only 1 baby chair and we only managed to use it on the last day as the rest of the days it was already being used. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will totally stay again in this hotel.

Very friendly hotel that represented excellent value for money. Breakfast buffet provided a good start to the day with an egg station providing freshly cooked omelettes and fried or scrambled eggs. Home baked bread was fabulous.
Whilst room was a bit dated it was kept spotlessly clean and the shower was hot and powerful.
Catering facilities were fine but a rather more extensive range of equipment would have been welcome. A brand new toaster arrived two days before we left.
The lack of a well supported bar in the evening was a bit disappointing but there are so many bars and restaurants nearby that this isn’t a serious issue.
Staff were all very helpful and cheerful from the maids to the restaurant and reception staff.
Would definitely stay here again if wanting to combine modest self catering with dining around.

The hotel is at a great location. Stores and restaurants nearby although a bit further away from downtown Funchal but it's worth the walk. Straight down from the hotel, there's a small area where you can swim in the ocean if it's not too windy ( the waves can get very high and strong), otherwise just use the pool at the hotel. We got a room with a comfortably big balcony with a view to the ocean and a small kitchenette that had everything we needed. The room was clean, neat and comfortable. The only possible negative is that we saw a few cockroaches near the hotel entrance (although walking around we saw this near other hotels as well) and found 1 small one in our room during our 5 day stay. For some people this can be a huge issue but I didn't see it as a problem as it was a small one only. You can always talk to someone at the desk downstairs and see what can be done if this issue arises. People were friendly and helpful in general.
I think we got a good deal for the money we spent.

The swimming pool is kept in pristine condition although not heated the weather makes it imperative to cool off and once in you soon warm up! The surround has lots of loungers and you can have a mattress and a sunshade - just ask or help yourself if you know how to put it up. Fish and chips snack bar item was really tasty and not too expensive at 6.50
euros.lovely apartment consisting of bedroom, sitting dining room and kitchenette and bathroom.and the view was superb. Lovely Vera dress with chairs and table. Location very good. Near Lido and bust stop.restaurants bars etc. Entertainment is on Wed and Fri, but not too exciting. That does not matter as there is a lot going on in the area. Your holiday can be an nice restful time with warm Weather guaranteed. Lots to see on the island but it can add up in expense so decide which trips you want to go on and beware they do not all go everyday so plan it on your first day there or you might miss what you want to see. Casino for those with urges, Music lovers also are taken care of. Being old I did not notice any place for young people who like clubs for dancing. Some hotels cater for dancers which is rather more sedate. Sailing and sport is very popular. Boat trips diving etc is also available. I loved the place and was very happy with my choice of accommodation and ate at lots of different places, some expensive some very cheap.
Hope this helps lots of walking if you wish. Food is fantastic

God beliggenhed, god rengøring.
Tæt på restauranter, godt supermarked Pingo Doce, havet og bus 001, 002 og 004 ind til byen.
Stort værelse, men stue og soveværelse var ikke forbundet. Hotellet virker slidt. Vores badeværelse havde en dør, der ikke kunne låses og smuldrede i bunden, toiletsædet var helt skævt og kunne ikke rettes op, badekarret havde store pletter, og væggene var lavet af plastik. Vores hotellejlighed lignede ikke billederne fra bestillingen, som så meget nyere og pænere ud og havde forbundne rum.
Der var en lugt af kloak ved poolen.
Der var næsten dagligt røgalarmer som gik i gang på etagen, og til sidst tog ingen det ikke alvorligt, hvilket er farligt, hvis det skulle komme en rigtig brand.
