    If you forget the crappy breakfast, this hotel is a real gem.

    The breakfast was the weakest link. Scrambled eggs were crap. The charcuterie offer and the quality was crap. Black tea offer was limited to “English breakfast”. Bread was good, fried eggs were OK. Definitely not a four-star standard. A pity because otherwise this hotel is a real gem.

    Great location, great and comfy bed, amazing bathroom and shower, fantastic and helpful staff.

    Rather bland. Sound of car tyres over cobbled road when sleeping with window open, not a problem when windows closed and using air con.

    Friendly staff, great breakfast, large well appointed bedroom, convenient location. Enjoyed using the small pool.

    Hotel offers paid parking. It was not said in the advertisement that it is for very small car. As a result we had to park on the street. Breakfast has no variety of food, every day the same.

    Comfortable room.

    The breakfast menu could be improved.

    Clean, neat and we had a nice balcony. The hotel is in a good location. It was nice that I was able to leave the luggage after the checkout. The personal is helpfull. I recommend to read hotel book about Madeira that are in rooms - good info there.

    I loved the location, the food, and the one hostess was fantastic (the rest were okay) - she helped us book a West tour at the last minute which was incredible. She also recommended a few restaurants and pointed out the local spots to and eat. She remembered us and always made an effort to greet us and ask how the tour or the day had been.

    No specific cons at all, just some small things. Location is great but deep in the hotel area of Funchal, about 15 minutes walk from centre, 20-25 minutes walk of the cable car station or the local town centre. Restaurants and bars in the area are overpriced, touristy, lacking local specifics. Breakfast is great but hardly did change, so it became a little boring after 5-6 days. There are multiple oldschool USB (type A) chargers at the nightstands, but only 1 wall outlet in the room, so if you have multiple devices with other charger types (like type C) then you need to plan your charging.

    Almost perfect, quiet little hotel. Only 3 floors, and just a handful of rooms, 3 garage places. Rooms are sizeable with seating area and balcony, bathroom is with shower and bidet. There is a small fridge and a safe in the closet. Air conditioning was working perfectly. Everything is of good quality and even of good design. There is even complementary gift waiting for the guests. Staff is nice and helpful, they speak solid English. Breakfast was great.

    There might not have parking for you, even if you request in advance in your reservation. Try to text them again and see. Otherwise I found a parking spot on the street that you pay 60 cent per hour up to 4 hours that was enough.

    The rooms are very well equipped and I could rest well after a full day out

    No kettle in the room but if you ask at reception you are given one. There is a room safe but you need to pay to use it. There is an uphill walk to get back to the hotel but it's not too bad.

    Breakfast was good especially the fantastic coffee machine. Room was spacious with a balcony with a sea view. TV excellent and bathroom fantastic with a large walk in shower. Bed very comfortable. Staff friendly and happy to help. Hotel is small with just 18 rooms but it did mean there was never a queue at reception. Plenty of restaurants and bars close by. A very pleasant stay.

    Breakfast was not varied enough. Cheap cereals. No tea or coffee making facilities in room. I knew in advance the rules about not smoking on the terrace of my room. Still annoying when nobody else used their terraces and I still had to go downstairs and outside. As with a lot of the hotels, it's a long uphill walk from the town centre.

    Room was nice, comfortable bed. staff were helpful with information when asked. Good value for money over the Easter weekend. Lots of restaurants/bars nearby.

    - we heard some rat or other animal between the ceiling and the roof. I informed the receptionist but he said he has no free rooms for us and promised to send someone in the morning to look into the problem, but no one appeared. Fortunately the noise stopped. - quite poor and similar breakfast everyday

    Proximity of the city center.
