Air conditioner broken our entire stay, waiting on the promised discount, had no follow up from host

Had no working air conditioner, terribly hot and no way to cool down the area, reached out to maintenance multiple times then was promised a discount that was not ever submitted. Now being told I have to wait for booking.com to issue discount - I have had no follow up from any representative. I expect an appropriate discount due to paying for services I did not receive and ultimately contributed to a very uncomfortable stay.

Superbe appartement et prestations qui ne donne pas envie d’aller ailleurs lors d’un futur séjour !

L’emplacement central, la modernité et la diversité des équipements répondant à tous nos besoins (dont la trousse des 1er soins), l’esthétique et la grandeur du studio, le fait que l’on soit prévenu quand les employés viennent faire le ménage, le service de transfert à l’aéroport.

Nous n’avons pas de critiques majeure à formuler, même si nous avons parfois été un peu dérangées par le bruit de la rue et « énervées » par l’abattant des toilettes qui se refermait sur nous quand nous étions assises sur les toilettes. Mais la qualité des prestations est amplement supérieure à ces gènes minimes et relativisées.

Perfect location and very pleasant room. Would stay here again without reservation.

The location could not have been better. Easy walk to anywhere in the city within minutes and no hill climbing! Fantastic coffee shop (Maia) around the corner and numerous, very nice restaurants. Our room was front to back meaning street in the front and bedroom in the back, so it was very quiet sleeping. Some street noise during the day, but the doors at the front were almost soundproof, so no problems there. The key-pad entry to the building and apartment door was very convenient. We had a couple of maintenance issues, and they were addressed immediately...including New Year's day. In my opinion, that shows very good management....and thank you!

There was nothing not to like unless you are not an independent traveler. In that case, a full-service hotel would be a better option. If you have a car, you will have to find a garage - and be mindful - some garages close on Sundays and holidays, and also some may close as early as 20:00.

Holiday for solo traveller

The room was spacious even though it was a studio and very nicely renovated and decorated. The apartment has a very central location in the city.

I didn't find my room clean, there were stains on the pillows and sheets and lots of woman hair on the floor when I arrived to my room. But it might just been an oversight from the cleaning crew as I read good reviews about the apartment.

Современная квартира в старинном доме в центре Фуншала.

Прекрасная квартира в центре Фуншала. Электронные замки для общей двери и двери в квартиру. Большая ванная: огромный душ, есть биде, полотенца, жидкое мыло, фен. Кухня прекрасная со всей необходимой посудой, были даже кофе, чай, сахар, масло… Очень удобная кровать. Много источников света. Кондиционер. Маленький балкончик. Мы были 8 дней. На четвертый день даже пришли убирать, хотя для квартир это нечасто бывает. Мусор сортируется. Есть лифт. Пару минут пешком супермаркет. Совет: там можно поесть в виде шведского стола, открыто до позднего вечера , вкусно и дешево. Цена квартиры нормальная. С удовольствием бы остановились снова здесь. Obrigada !!!

Улица довольно шумная, хоть и маленькая. Но для этого есть двойные двери на балкон, если их закрыть, то ничего не слышно. Нет утюга и пылесоса. Но думаю, кому надо, можно написать хозяевам и принесут.

Repalcement apartment was good

I cannot comment on this particular apartment because a few weeks before my arrival the host told me that they were having some technical problems and could not provide me with this place. In return, he offered me a smaller room for the same price. I didn't agree, so the host gave me a much larger apartment in a new building - Tanoeiros Residence. Spacious apartment, well-equipped, clean, right in the city center.

2 weeks before arrival, the host made me feel very stressed by informing me about technical problems in the room, but he agreed to gave us different apartment in other localisation. Nobody picked up the garbage. We left the bags in the designated locker at the exit from the staircase, but no one took the bags and it stank.

Used and dirty bedsheets, dirty floor, dirty sofa, flood in toilet and hair in the shower

The check in was very smooth. Everything is done online with a code so it was very smooth. The entrance was very nice and the room very modern design which we appreciate. Location couldn’t be better and the kitchen was fully stocked with equipment you may need.

A lot of things that we didn’t like that totally ruin our stay. When we check in first of all we didn’t know which room that was ours, we didn’t receive information about that. When we enter the room we saw immediately that it wasn’t cleaned. The floor had stains and were sticky, the sofa was covered in stains, the walls were dirty, hair in the shower and the worst thing was that the bedsheets was USED! You could clearly see that the bedsheets, pillows cases and bed cover was used and dirty. We panicked because it was late in the night and we refused to sleep in a used bed. The contact we had was Beatrice and she just stopped answering when we needed her the most. She actually stopped answering from that day and the rest of our stay. I called every number I could find, nobody answered. So it’s absolutely not 24h service/reception here. When nobody was answering, we decided to wash all the bedsheets which took over 2 hours and then dry them for one hour so yeah… we went to sleep at 4 in the morning and this totally ruined the next day. The next day someone respond us (not Beatrice) and told us that housekeeping would come and properly clean. When we came back to the apartment later in the evening, the floor was still not clean, the bed not even made and it was a flood in our bathroom. Your can only imagine our frustration… We was just staying there for 2 night and both of them were ruined. So yes, it’s looks beautiful and the location is great but this was far from okay and I would never recommend anyone to book a stay here. Im still waiting for refund or some compensation for ruining our weekend in Funchal!

Superb

Great apartment and couldn't ask for a better location. It was quiet and clean. There is an underground and cheap car park 10 minutes away by called Parking Santa Luzia, that will avoid you the more expensive on-street parking. If you are looking for the iron, it's on the 3rd floor in a staff room next to the elevator;)

If I had to write something, the only thing would be the passcode entry and no key, but maybe I'm just traditional:) So make sure you don't forget the code

Nice place, with some remarks.

Location was definitely the greatest benefit of the place- do you need a quick coffee in the morning or a nice breakfast- they are just around the corner! Did you rent a car and need a parking? No problem, there is a 24h parking just 10 min away. When it comes to the property itself, you can definitely notice the effort & resources invested to build/renovate it. It was designed by someone with an eye to the detail. It is definitely impressive how quite it was for the location it has! A great plus I could add to, is the code system, which allows you to think about an item less :)

Alert- I am a very picky guest and it is likely others might not agree with the below :) The place has a great potential. I personally liked how new everything was- from the tiles, plints, floors to the meubels themselves. However, the impression me and my partner were left with about the particular room we had is that it is somehow not well maintained. Upon our arrival we instanly noticed a smell coming from the batrhoom & the canalization. The shower cabin itself was not well cleaned- there was dirt & mold stuck between the tiles (thankfully, with a quick whatsapp message that was instantly resolved. Great reaction there! ). Yet, such instances set your vacation to a bad start. Especially, when I used to work in housekeeping and I am aware that it is possible to keep this part well maintained. It is a small effort at each cleaning. That also includes the glass door, which already had drops & some fingers on, when we arrived. While the issue was resolved, we did enjoy a whole night bleach smell coming from our bathroom, which ( again) is not a pain to die from, but brings the wrong mood. The small things. We definitely missed getting our towells changed. The property does have a washing machine, but when you are on a vacation, it adds a nice touch to let someone else take care of these things. :) Add it as a paid option, perhaps? Everybody travels from afar before reaching Madeira. We often don't want to bring our big bottles of shampoo. conditioners, toothpaste etc. Having those taken care of would be very helpful. Why not get involved with a local brand and make a nice partnership? :) I would love to avoid buying whole bottles again. And the random plastic bottle left on the floor of the shower cabin, does not seem to me trustworthy either. :) The unexpected guests Oh yeah, we kept our windows closed and used mainly airco, and we kept the little food we had in the fridge.

Centric but not in a crowded, noisy and smelly street Apartment has all you need including washing and dryer machine

Please fix the elevator door, it gives you 0.005 seconds to enter and exit before doors try to kill you ( no system to automatic detect you) Door lock (of the apartment) is amazingly dangerous as cannot be open manually and automatically locks and unlocks (wonder what would happen in case of an emergency if did not work for whatever reason) Not views.

Great location but not worth the price in our opinion!

Location was fantastic. It is within walking distance of all the main things in Funchal and lots of bars and restaurants nearby. The room was clean and loved the decor however we felt we did not make use of the kitchenette at all so for us the price was not worthwhile. Also we stayed for 1 week so asked for replacement towels midweek and we’re told we would have to pay 10 euros to have them changed. I would expect the towels to be changed at least once without an additional cost bearing in mind the property is high cost already. We also tried to use the ironing room on several occasions and could not get in as it was locked every time.

We could not get into the ironing room - tried on several occasions and was always locked. Clean towels were charged for. Door to room was very difficult to open! My partner had to do it each time. We were in room 2.
