    Not enough place to pack. We stayed 5 nights, there is a small cupboard for 2 person and the refrigerator (which was not working) and the safe was in it, so there was no place left to pack our things. Also no hangers on the walls to at least have extra space to some of our items. Since the window looks inside, to the middle of the building, and that is covered from the top, we couldn't get fresh air, no ventillation (I wonder how the bathroom is not moldy, there is no ventillation system). Our first room was right by the steps at the second floor, it was very noisy with all guests coming and going, we asked for a room change. They were really nice and helpful, and we got another small room the most further from the stairs. But as it turned out late night, that room was just above the bar with dj music next door. We heard all the music until 3 am as we were there, the bass shaked our bed. Luckily, there is no party every night. Also, when there is live music (from 8 to 11) it is ok, you can't hear that. Only the DJ is loud, starting 11pm usually until 2 am, but not every night, only some days of the week (in our case it was weekday, and we were told it's on weekends)

    Excellent location! In the middle of the old town, close to everything: pier, Cathedral, main street, main square, teleferico, good restaurants, etc. In walking distance you find everything. Breakfast is ok, keeps you for the day, same everyday, with fruits, sweets, egg, etc. Room is clean and nice, but small so only good if you are out all day and just come back to sleep. Many rooms has window only to inside, to the inner place which is the breakfast place (I attach photos): it's good that those are not for the street, so it's not noisy all night but note that they start to prepare for breakfast early and you hear all that. Staff is really nice, kind, and helpful.

    Live music in the bar next door. The breakfast is so-so.

    The location and staff are super. Though there is a bar just next to the hotel where there is live music until midnight. Be prepared that you will not be able to sleep. The bed is comfortable.

    Location in the center brings the noise from the outsider, there was also a noise from the reception - depends on the room you get (we got the one right next to the reception desk). A bit small bed (if you are 1.8m+ :)).

    Clean apartment with a perfect location in the centre of Funchal. A friendly and helpful staff. Possibility of luggage storage after check-out time.

    Our room was noisy, from noise in the hotel, as it is very echoey. Our window opened into the breakfast area, so we were woken by staff preparing breakfast at 6.00 am. The bed was too hard and pillows hard and lumpy.

    It was clean and modern. Kettle supplied in room. Small fridge. The location is great, right in the old town near everything. The breakfast was good with a lot of choice. Staff were friendly. Bottled water was left for us.

    Our room was directly above the breakfast area, so we could hear staff preparing breakfast. Even when it woke us up, the staff was so nice and friendly that we were not that bothered by it after all.

    I really loved the place, from the amazing and really helpful staff to delicious breakfast and amazing location in the city center. Also I love the details, so names of the rooms based on Levadas around Madeira was very cute detail. Plus when we had the early morning hiking trip, they were so nice to prepare snack for us for the trip. If you are planning a stay in Funchal, I HIGHLY recommend to stay in Zarco! Thank you again for great stay :)

    It was my second stay. I really like this facility which is close to everywhere when you don't have a car. Close distance to the shore, Center, shops, bus stop… Super clean!!!

    There was too active night bar right under our window, and it was quite loud outside until 2-3 a.m. But we were in Funchal during Christmas - NY holidays, hope in other periods it will be more calm place.

    Really friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, central location, comfortable bed, good bathroom and other facilities in the room. We liked this accomodation, good money-quality value.
