I had a decent stay at this hotel, which boasts an excellent location just a short walk from the old part of the city and near the waterfront. The rooms were a good size and generally clean, though there was an unfortunate ant infestation. The service was friendly and professional, which was definitely a highlight. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired; the breakfast was quite basic. Overall, while there were some downsides, the value for money was reasonable considering the location.

I stayed at this hotel in Funchal and found its location to be fantastic, just a short walk to the old part of the city and the waterfront. The rooms weren't quite up to par, as I had to ask to change my room due to cleanliness issues. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, although the dining options left a lot to be desired. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, but the noise from traffic was a bit of a downside.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I must say the location is fantastic—right in the heart of town, making it easy to explore. Although the room was definitely on the smaller side and lacked air-conditioning, it was quite budget-friendly. The service from the staff was a highlight, as they were really nice and accommodating, despite some noise issues from the surrounding areas. However, I was disappointed with the breakfast options, which were quite basic. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking for value and convenience, but don't expect luxury.

The hotel is in a prime location, just a short walk to the city center and market, which made exploring Funchal a breeze. The rooms were generally quiet and comfortable, but I did notice an ant infestation. The service was decent, although there were a few hiccups with electricity in the room. Dining was a letdown; the breakfast options were very limited. Overall, I'd say it's not a bad stay, but improvements in dining and cleanliness would go a long way.
