Picked this hotel because of the central location and car parking. Only needed one night, but WOW. Beautifully presented with amazing rooftop pool and bar. Staff all helpful and knowledgeable.
Didn't try the restaurant as it was closed on the night we were there.
Car park tricky, but ok with a small car.
Clean, comfortable, well equipped apartment ideally situated in central Funchal. Close to restaurants, buses, the cable car and supermarkets.
Couldn't fault it. We will return when staying in Funchal again.
Great place to stay for visiting
visiting Funchal and the rest of
Madeira.
Restaurants, shops and seafront
are all a short walk away.
We were in room 11 which had a
balcony over looking the small
pool and sun loungers. The
balcony is spacious with a table
and chairs and a relaxer chair.
The room itself is also spacious as
is the bathroom which has
complimentary shower gel. The
bed is large and comfortable and
the room is well lit. There is a fully
equipped kitchenette, also a
table and chairs inside, a chest of
drawers. TV, hanging rails and
hangers and a safe.
We had a hire car for the duration
of our stay. We managed to find a
parking space but many of the
spacious are marked for residents
only so there are only a few that
aren't.
There is a small lobby as you
come in the front door and a
living area down stairs.
Everything is spotlessly clean and
with the exception of Sunday, our
room was made up each day
which we didn't expect.
Tiny niggle, the towels are all a bit
thin and sometimes you get traffic
noise from the road but don't let
that put you off as it's a lovely
place to stay.
We had a great time in Madiera. The flat was right in the city centre of Funchal, a short walk to the sea front and its surroundings. The flat was really nice, has everything you need and the balcony at night over looking the city is like a hidden gem in it self. We will be coming back again!
