Not ideal with building construction or demolition going going on, I came to relax, not have my head pounded by hammers, drills and dust. Thankfully the reception team took pity on us and transferred us to another. To have been advised in advance would have bee n a good idea, rather than attempting to sell transfers from the airport!

The property is very well kept and maintained. They have a lot of activities on property's premises. They have a nice pool and fitness room. Our big surprise was receiving a champagne bottle for our birthays that happen during the stay. The view from upper floors is astonishing and we realy enjoyed to get themorning coffee on balcony

All good, I used the hotel to explore island and was close to transport routes local buses, tourist buses and quick to get a Bolt cab. Had cooking facilities in room, so I didn’t have to wait around for breakfast (or get up early on chill days) Sea view from balcony was good.

Friendly straff, clean roms, fasilities like gym could do with an upgrade. Quiet and relaxing by the pools.

Check-in at 3:00pm after coming in 11:00am to notify needed parking. Came in 2:45pm to try get car parked in time for 3:00pm. Room was not ready until 3:15pm. Parking lot is difficult and many unauthorized cars allowed in taking spots of paying customers. Very bad and this ultimately forced me to squeeze into a tight parking last night of trip. Causing damage to car just to get gas. Have not heard back from hotel management 2nd day after reporting in incident..

The great location, alot to do in the area and close to the beach. And the kitchen was nice and easy to use when needed

Great buffet, indoor pool and hottub. Confortable..

The location, the recreational amenities and shared events with partner hotels was excellent. The maintenance flaws could not be overcome though. Sparse times when there was hot water. Beds were old, hard and could not be separated.

View from our room was quite good. Room was dated and could use new carpets, flooring and fresh paint. Noise level from the hallway is poor. Other guests talking loudly and slamming doors until all hours at night. Food was average.

Great stay, hotel is on a steep hill so maybe not the best for older people. Food was ok, nothing special but kept us filled up for the day. Staff were so lovely and friendly. Towels changed everyday, spotlessley clean and great to have so many facilities on site. Three pools, inner pool, tennis court and spa all included

Excellent facilities - ideal location especially for public transport. Need to vary breakfast menu.

Pleasant stay. Funchal centrum is easy to walk in half an hour, or by bus 1/2/4. Kitchenette is small , but oke for some small food things. We will come back.

Hotel staff very friendly. Ideal location close to Funchal (30 min walk) . Beautiful sites to see along the way.Plenty of places to eat if you want to outside of hotel.Hotel needs to make a menu that is more child accommodating.Highly recommend sight seeing tours around the island.My kids love this hotel and staff remember them from previous visits

Room was ok for the price but if you can afford a bit better then do. The rooms have no air conditioning and due to the heat it was necessary to keep the door open it got noisy about 3am sho not much sleep the lifts are knackered out and bang and clang as well

Nice budget hotel in good position, close to a number of restaurants and convenient for buses

Good basic hotel. Saving grace is young girl that works at reception - definitely goes the extra mile ( and in numerous languages!). Unfortunately, construction going on next door from 8am-7pm ...makes sitting on balcony difficult.

This is what we would call a budget hotel. It's a bit tired in terms of decoration but adequate facilities. Friendly staff. We went on b and b tariff. Breakfast was basic self service. A bit more variety in the cooked breakfast would have been appreciated. Building works alongside which started at 8am till 5.30. Didn't bother us too much as we're out all day. If folk are on same tariff try La Bamba restaurant just down the road. We ate there every night bar 2. Excellent service and the steak. on stone and spaghetti vesuvian are to die for!!

The hotel is close to many restaurant and there are many local tour around the area, is is very convinient. We can see the sea from the room. However, the hotel is quite old, so the rooms are not the most attractive.

Great time. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The location was good the building itself it needs to be renewed and more happy it looks old, kitchen area rating zero The staff was good always happy to help and the restaurant Fora d’oras staff was excellent good food service was excellent but fortunately the hotel itself is old and the lifts to not take more than five average people

There was a very nice bar to the right of the hotel, belonging to it, which also did good food. There is a nice pool in the hotel and you can borrow a pool towel to use. The room was very quiet and the breakfast very good value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There are lots of eating choices nearby and it is well located. It is about a 20 minute walk to town and there are also buses which go into Funchal or take you westwards. We had a lovely sea view. There is a comfortable lounge downstairs and plenty of seating areas. There is free entertainment every night at the top hotel in the group of 3.

Good experience. I recommend it. Location is the best driver of this hotel and customer services too. It is clean and overall great.

Easy to get to via airport bus. The hotel is a short walk from the bus stop but is quite a hill climb... but then Funchal is all about hills. Nice reception and staff. We stayed on the 6th floor so lift or stairs. Rooms look like the photos on the web, spacious with small kitchenette and balcony. We paid for part sea view which I'm glad we did. Although we had a small building site to the left we could see the hills of Funchal and the sea. Some of the balconies overlooked the swimming pool or the other hotel so we were glad for the view. Bathroom was ok but needed a new sealant around the bath and shower screen. It didn't bother us as it was functional. We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was ok, bit limited on choice but again was ok. There were 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool which were clean and lovely to sit round. There was a pool bar and drinks were very cheap so was good value. Staff were lovely and helpful and there were some entertainment on every night. The hotel was near the outdoor Lido on the promenade a short walk away and was really lovely. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby but not rowdy or noisy. The only problem with noise was from the road nearby but traffic was diverted down the road due to road works. There was a local supermarket so we could get food in for lunch or dinner as there was a fridge and small cooker/microwave. I would happily stay there again but the only big problem was no Air conditioning in the bedrooms.

Great value for money. Rooms and décor a little dated but clean and comfortable. Excellent outdoor and indoor pool facilities, wide choice for breakfast. Lots of restaurants and bars close by, about 35 mins walk to old town.

The best 3* hotel I've stayed at. Friendly and professional staff and in a great location.

The rooms were clean. Breakfasts were great! The staff at the breakfasts were wonderful! Handy fridge to keep your water bottles, fruit and food cool.Washrooms good size and great water pressure.Great little souvenir and snack shop on the lower floor.Nice pool area to relax. Lots of restaurants within minutes of walking. Love Antonios Restaurant!Regarding the design...Flasback to the 70s! Felt like we were walking backing into the 70s though. Could use a big revamp. With an update it would improve the overall look. No air conditioning.... We were aware of that.It was HOT. There were no fans. The view was beautiful! No shuttle to downtown as advertised. You will have to take a taxi....to Funchal approx. 8 Euros.If you are not picky about overall appearance then this place is great for you. The photos on the site must have been taken many years ago,as its age is showing.
