Perfect location to everything in Funchal. ##### Joel Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Moira Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Staff were great. Breakfast was good. Loved the rooftop terrace. Get a sea view room as it’s so good to enjoy sunshine all day and watch the cruise ships sailing in and out. The location of the hotel is the best. Right on the waterfront and the restaurants in the old town are on your doorstep so why the 4\* review? The outdoor swimming pool isn’t the best. Small, quite shallow and cold and only 1 small beach towel a day. Once you’ve had a swim you’re left with a very wet towel. Having said that I’d happily go back again. ##### Moira Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Taiichi Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great, great location no one can beat…next to the park, so close to the Market, restaurants, the ropeway to the Monte and right in the center. ##### Taiichi Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel, wonderful staff, delicious breakfast ##### Jennifer Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Athene van Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location, close to old town restaurants and easy access to boardwalk, which gets you to the marina and beyond.

Lovely hotel in the best position for the old town of Funchal and taking the cable car to the botanical gardens. Good breakfast & great views if you have booked a sea front room. Nice pool area with plenty of sun beds. We had hired a car so their secure parking for just €10/day was useful.
