Fabulous staff, amazing views!!!

Came with my sister for a girlie week away! First of all the hotel is a stone throw form the main attractions! Staff so friendly in every area of the hotel! Can tell they are a real team & make you feel really special! Rooms very clean, spacious we had a particularly big balcony. Only stayed b & b as enjoy going to different restaurants but have stayed for dinner couple of times & the food was outstanding! Very varied & plentiful amount of food for breakfast & a lovely courtyard or can eat inside too! Fantastic rooftop bar & pool, the most amazing views over the city. Would highly recommend, disappointed to be leaving!! Thankyou all for making our stay so special & would love to return one day!

Exceptional hotel !

We have just returned from four nights at this lovely hotel and only wished she had booked longer. This hotel was recommended to us by friends - a fabulous choice ! Its’ central location made it easy to walk to many of Funchal’s attractions and nearby restaurants, with an amazing roof top pool with bar looking over the city. The customer service from all staff was outstanding - friendly , knowledgable and professional , with the breakfast and dinner service exceptional. Breakfasts were excellent with a great choice from the buffet and optional dishes to order , all served in the lovely outdoor courtyard. We also ate here on our last night , from the new a la carte menu - the food was very well presented and excellent . All in all this beautiful hotel , with both old and contemporary features is a gem . Thank you to all the staff - we will be back to explore more of Madeira .

Ticks all the boxes for a stay in Funchal

We have nothing but praise for this fabulous hotel. It is our first time in Madeira and we were made very welcome indeed. The hotel is very well situated in a quiet street in central Funchal, only 5 mins walk from the cathedral and the bars and restaurants. This is a big advantage when you see how far up the hill most hotels are! Rooms are clean and modern, tastefully decorated and it had a generous bathroom with great water pressure and lots of hot water. Breakfast is great and dining in the evening is a lovely experience. All the staff are so helpful and speak many different languages. Thank you to Claudia, Jordan, Caroline and Jose in particular for making our stay so lovely.

Excellent hotel close to central Funchal

My wife and I have just returned from a week at this hotel. We were celebrating our silver wedding and we wanted to celebrate in style. I’d booked the hotel direct and had mentioned our wedding anniversary. On arrival the hotel had upgraded us from a junior suite to a full suite, along with celebratory fizz and chocolates. This was a generous response and much appreciated as you can imagine. Thank you! The hotel is well located near the centre of the town in a quiet side street. In just 2-3 mins you are in the town and able to explore immediately. The hotel’s 5th floor has the roof-top pool and bar with great views 360 degrees. On the occasions I was Up there it was never busy. There were always loungers available. We ate at the Tipographia restaurant one evening and the food was tasty and well presented (20% discount to residents). The most important thing to comment on was the positivity and friendliness of all the hotel staff. Service was immaculate without being stuffy. Nothing was too much trouble. Would I stay at this hotel again? Yes, absolutely. Thank you to the hotel team for all you did to help make our first trip to Madeira very memorable.
