    The room was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast had a good variety. It looks like a newly renovated building with a minimalist design, and I didn't feel like we need anything else, especially because the location is very central.

    A little noise from bar below till late; our room was on the front. However, it did not bother us.

    Excellent location for the center of Funchal. Near everywhere, including only 50 meters away from stop 6 of the Aerobus to airport. The breakfast was quite sufficient.

    I liked the staff was very helpful. Changed my room to the nother side of the building.. the first day extremely loud trance party club like 50 meter away.. finished 4 am. I have called the police. Nothing happened.. the location is good.in the center... very clean . Very modern.. the bed is very comfortable nice warm duvet.. only the noise was bad in tge first night.. I also like the breakfast. Lost of fresh fruit variety.. ham cheese boiled eggs. Orange juice hot drinks and nice fresh bread collection. .. the staff is friendly and kind.. if its no music I can stay again.. so its better check before you staying. There told me this music is every Friday

    A lot of noise from the atrium, there should definitely be sound-proof glass in the space between the rooms so that guests are not disturbed by the noise from the cafe in the morning and at night.

    Nice and helpful staff. Modern equipment. In the city center.

    Some of the rooms do not have windows opening to the outside of the building. The window opens to a bright hall, but there is a panoramic roof above it, the space is closed and there is no fresh air. The rooms are poorly soundproofed and you can sometimes hear outside sounds.

    The hotel is a great starting point as it is very close to many attractions. The hotel is newly renovated. Our room was a bit cramped but it has a charm of its own. Very comfortable beds and modern, multifunctional air conditioning. Breakfast is basic but the rolls, bread and croissants were baked in the kitchen daily. The service is very polite and helpful (Katia in particular does her best to solve the problem and does it very efficiently).

    If you're renting a car: it's quite hard to find parking space close to the accommodation (not too many parking spots in the city center + you have to pay during the day and at many spots you can only park for 1 hour). So if you're with a car in Madeira, I'd recommend to book an accommodation in a smaller town or somewhere, where they provide parking. There are bars nearby, so you might hear music or loud talking noises during the night, but it's not worse, than at any other accommodation in any city centre. The room is quite small (but adequate if you only want to sleep there) with only basic equipment. So for eg. there are no glasses, there's only one chair (in a room for 2), not too many place to pack your clothes or open your suitcases.

    I'd recommend this place if you'd like to stay in the heart of Funchal on a budget. The location is really great: -it's in the heart of Funchal, next to a nice square and close to the cathedral -lots of restaurants, caffees, bars, shops nearby - you can find all kind of bus stops within 2-3 minutes walk (to get around in the city, to travel to different cities and to get to the airport) The staff is really helpful, there's 0-24 hour reception, you can find someone at the reception desk all the time, who's willing to help you in anything. The breakfast is simple, basic continental breakfast. You can also ask it for take-away, if you need to leave early. The room was really new, everything was in great condition.

    Noise at breakfast time. I get up early so was not a problem for me but my husband likes to sleep late so not so good for him.

    Hotel was clean. Staff were friendly, courteous, and happy. Always someone available on reception. We were able to leave our bags both before and after check in. Room was very clean. Bathroom was a bit tight but shower had plenty of room. Out room was overlooking the breakfast area so was quite noisy in the morning, but very quiet at all other times. Hotel appears quite new so all facilities were modern. Breakfast had normal toast, ham, boiled eggs, pastries, muffins and fruit, but was plentiful.

    My expectation were greatly deflated when we saw the size of the room. Dear Booking inform Zarco that on your site the room size is identified as 25sqm when in fact all the rooms are closer to 15sqm or less. The indicator on booking of the room size is a key metric when a customer is looking for a place to stay.

    Location in the old town was excellent. The breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. The staff were very accommodating when faced with early arrivals and leaving our luggage for the day after checkout.

    There was only a one small window in the room, in the direction of the patio, so the room was a bit dark. Also the room was small, only one bed and a little table. But definitely sufficient for a one night stay.

    Our return flight got canceled and we ended up having to leave a day early but the B&B wouldn't compensate us.

    The price-quality ratio is excellent. Rooms get cleaned daily and have AC, which is much needed on Madeira. Breakfast is great, flexible check-in and check-out.
