Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the room as it surpassed my expectations, being more like a suite with separate kitchen and sitting room, and a double balcony offering stunning views of the Lido and the sea. The room was simple but clean, and the terrace provided a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset over the ocean. The hotel's service was a mix of responses, with one staff member being a bit gruff while others were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, within walking distance to Funchal center and surrounded by great bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The dining experience varied from just okay to very nice, with good quality food options available. The facilities were decent, offering the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.

The service was top-notch, with very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and shops, although a bit of a walk to the center. The dining experience was decent, with a buffet style but limited options. Overall, a great value for the money!

The service was exceptional with a range of amenities provided, making the experience truly delightful. The location was convenient for accessing the town center but faced some disturbances due to ongoing renovations.

The hotel is in a convenient location, within walking distance to town and central to many restaurants and shops. The rooms, while clean and simply decorated, are in need of a makeover but come with a nice kitchen area equipped for light meals. The service is exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, making the stay enjoyable. The dining experience, although with room for improvement, offers satisfying meals. Overall, a good value for the money with some dated aspects.
