    The hotel is in a great location, close to the beach, restaurants and a good distance to the center, ideal for an evening walk. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is good and the staff is very friendly.

    We couldn't get hotel parking right away so it was difficult to find street parking. Once we got in to the paid parking lot it was very easy and convenient.

    Great value for your money. The hotel had great facilities such as a pool, rooftop terrace, restaurant and bars. The breakfast was affordable and delicious. The kitchenette was very helpful, you don't often find that in a hotel. The cleaners were great. Very close to good restaurants and bars. The paid parking was great once we had it.

    It was quite noisy in the room (street traffic and restaurant AC) at night - even with windows closed. When the windows were closed, the room got quite stuffy. The hotel is a bit outdated and could do with a refurbishment to upgrade it. Especially the bathroom. Gym could use more regular cleaning.

    Good value for money - also location is good with cafes and restaurants around. Everyone was very friendly.

    Beds are a bit hard - but that's just personal preference.

    A very good three star hotel. Location is really good if you want to use the sea swimming facilities of the Lido area. It is also walkable into Funchal centre. Lots of bars and restaurants around to suit every budget. Also a number of supermarkets which is great if you want to prepare simple meals in the studio kitchenette. Helpful staff.

    Room was very basic and the spa/pool was small with one tiny sauna. Internet was also super bad.

    Breakfast was great and the view from my room/balcony was insanely good... Would definitely come again.

    There were some very noisy people above our room but we complained to the desk and it stopped.

    The breakfast was very good and plentiful. Alot of choice and cooked breakfast too. Room very clean and comfortable.

    The view feom the balcony was great and what is important that the balcony was big enough for a table and chairs. Brakfast was great with a lot of options.

    WiFi wasn’t great. Intermittent and slow at times. Had to reconnect multiple times. No WiFi at the buffet restaurant. Had to book sauna and it didn’t work some of the time

    Buffet breakfast had enough variety to suit everyone. Good size clean room. Nice sea view from the private balcony. Studio had a kitchen with fridge, stove, cooking utensils, plates, cutlery, microwave and dining table inside. More than enough if you want to cook/eat/drink in. Good size bathroom and very hot water in the shower. Spa area had good showers as well. Have seen same value in 4 star hotels

    As it was my birthday, they provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne, the breakfast was quite good, good selection of choice. Room cleaning everyday, even though the sheets were not changed every day, the room was kept in a tidy way. We’ll be coming back, such a nice stay.

    The room is not as new as it looks in the photo, but the price and comfort ratio is a good option. Good breakfasts, which is very appropriate here. The location is not in the center of Funchal. But 10 minutes near a large supermarket Lido, and the waterfront.

    Arrived from the airport, and although parking at the property was unavailable, the staff were quick to point us in the right direction. We were able to park at a supermarket on the seafront for €4 for 24 hours, which was just minutes from the hotel. The room was small but perfectly adequate for three adults. We had a sea view, kitchenette and private bathroom. The facilities were clean and ideally located for exploring the area. We also had access to the pool, which was perfect for an early swim. We also required an extra cup as the room only had two, but within minutes, the staff had provided an extra glass, cutlery, and crockery should we need it. The beds were comfortable, with ample pillows. Supermarkets and restaurants are within a short walking distance, as is the seafront, which had some perfect spots for watching the sunset. It is undergoing some renovation works, but this didn't impact our stay at all. It is an ideal spot for anyone wanting a basic yet comfortable base for exploring Funchal.

    Paid parking, but it was worth the money, as the area was always crowded and there were no parking spaces available outside the hotel premises.

    Our stay was very comfortable, we loved everything about this place.

    The hotel and all the facilities are very old, dirty and in need of refurbishment. The bed sheets were very itchy and by the looks of it very used. The kitchen photos posted on booking are from other hotels (very old, dirty), otherwise the rooms look like as in the photos.

    Very good location, just enough outside of Funchal to escape the big city vibes, but just enough near Funchal for everyday visits. The hotel chain offers a lot of facilities such as pools, gym, etc.

    The building is a little old but besides that everything was fine.

    We had a great view from our balcony is perfect place to spend New Year celebrations. Also we really enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel and you have so many restaurants around to choose from.
