Pros:

L'emplacement, la piscine et le personnel

Cons:

L'hôtel est un peu vieillot : mal isolé (surtout niveau sonore) et dans la chambre je captais mal le Wi-Fi.

2 nights in Funchal! Don't let the 3* scare you!
Pros:

Unbeatable price in Funchal! Don't let the 3* scare you! While arriving you will already be blown away with the view over Funchal from the hotel. Staff was extremely nice as well - very friendly! We had booked a room woth ocean view (which is a bit far, but you know that with a city hotel). Had exactly that with a nice balcony overlooking their pool as well. Room was big! Bathroom nothing spectacular, but clean and you have all you need. Breakfast was simple but exceeded my expectations from a 3* property!

You have a small parking spot included as well. Space for around 4 (max 5) cars. But honestly - we easily got one and were happy with it!

There are a lot of standard 4* Hotels in Funchal, which in mz opinion can't compete with Monte Carlo! If you are planning two or three nights (like we did) - I can 100% recommend this hotel! :-)

Cons:

Can't think of anything! Everything was great!

Gut für ein bis zwei Übernachtungen
Pros:

Die drei Menschen im Schichtdienst an der Rezeption waren sehr zuvorkommend, kein leichter Arbeitsplatz, da der Seniorchef fast den ganzen Tag alkoholisiert aber friedlich in seiner Ecke sitzt:(
Das Küchenpersonal war auch sehr nett und bemüht.

Cons:

Das Hotel wird gerade renoviert, unsere Zimmer waren es schon, sie waren sauber, das Bett war bequem, die Badezimmer sind nur durch einen Raumteiler abgetrennt ,es gibt keine Tür....als EZ OK als DZ fraglich.....
Die Möbel sind alt aber heile, es gab keine Deckenlampe und keinen Rauchmelder in beiden Zimmern. Die Zimmer sind dunkel, eines hatte nur ein Mini Fenster und eine Balkontür ohne Glas, das zu vermieten würde ich nicht bringen, für uns war es ok, weil wir viel unterwegs waren, aber schön ist anders...
Frühstück war sehr einseitig, für Vegetarier schon sehr karg, für Veganer gibt's immerhin Toast und Marmelade....manchmal Obst , einmal Gurke, einmal Tomate in 14 Tagen als einziges Grünzeug....
Fazit: für ein bis zwei Nächte völlig ok, für einen Urlaub würde ich es nicht empfehlen
Eigentlich ein wirklich schönes altes Haus....mit Potential...

Pros:

Não gostei de nada.
Hotel obsuleto

Cons:

Os 2 e únicos funcionarios não falavam, falta de higiene em toda a parte do hote, fomos alojados em um anexo do hotel sem condições, não recomendo a ninguém, o booking devia de deixar anunciar este tipo de hotéis.
Hotel péssimo. Muito muito muito mau mesmo

Pros:

Très bel hôtel, avec une superbe façade et un emplacement idéal offrant une vue magnifique sur Funchal et l’océan.
L’établissement est resté dans son jus, avec un style typique qui plaira particulièrement à ceux qui recherchent de l’authenticité plutôt que du moderne.
La literie a été une excellente surprise, notamment le matelas à mémoire de forme, très confortable.
Le personnel est vraiment un gros point fort : toujours accueillant, souriant, disponible et prêt à rendre service à toute heure.
Le buffet du petit-déjeuner est correct, avec un choix à la fois sucré et salé.
Dans l’ensemble, une très bonne expérience, surtout pour les amateurs de lieux authentiques.

Cons:

Quelques petits points à améliorer : le parquet peut grincer, ce qui peut être dérangeant le matin si l’on souhaite dormir un peu plus.
De plus, l’absence de volets laisse entrer la lumière dès le lever du jour, ce qui peut réveiller assez tôt.
Cependant, ces éléments restent mineurs et n’ont pas gâché mon séjour. Je reviendrai sans hésiter.

This hotel needs work to make it right.
Pros:

A beautiful old building, yet neglected in every way. Lovely sun room for breakfast, made terrible by the ancient tables, chairs, cutlery and coffee machine. 2 out of 10. A cat in the dining area. A cat.

Cons:

No WiFi in the room, but it is in the library, that is not good enough. Rough towels, poor breakfast, breakfast room opened late. Coffee terrible, juice bad. Not enough sockets, no kettle in the room, no stopper for the sink. Long walk up serious hills from town. Carpet on the stairs worn threadbare, everything on a shoestring, it needs investment to make it enjoyable.

szuper panoráma
Pros:

Jó elhelyezkedés és fantasztikus kilátás. A személyzet kedves és segítőkész. Tanulom a portugált és ebben társalgásukkal is a segítségemre voltak.

Cons:

Modernebb bútorokkal még vonzóbb lenne a szállás. A reggeli is lehetne egy kicsit változatosabb, de ami volt az finom volt.

Just a quick stop over hotel close to the airport
Pros:

Price location for our 1 super quick night stop after landing late.
Not too far from the main tourist spots. Restaurants

Cons:

The hotel needs a lot of TLC, the room we had looked like it wasn't changed ,touched in like 50 years.
The furniture, the bed, the shower curtains, the taps, the curtains, the mattress everything is quite out dated.
The windows are single glazing, barely closing.

👍☀️⭐⭐⭐ Їм
Pros:

The hotel has a beautiful view, old, but it has its own buzz, clean, breakfasts are good - nothing superfluous, but just what you need to start the day. The staff is friendly and responsive. Excellent value for money. The view is incredible, beautiful both day and night. The pool is not big, but enough to take a dip. Especially good are the rooms with ocean views, high ceilings... In general, I recommend 👍👍👍

Cons:

It's not that I didn't like it, I didn't expect the service and atmosphere of a five-star hotel from the troika.... Most likely, I did not have enough hairdryer and at least whitewash the track numbers. The T4 race is large and spacious. And also you need some kind of latch for the shutter so that it does not close from the wind. We had to hang a chair so that it would not close and there would be more light.

Pros:

Het klassieke hotel, mooie achitectuur.

Cons:

Niets viel echt tegen, maar het hotel is wel wat gedateerd. De hoge ligging geeft een prachtig uitzicht over de haven en zee. Een pre is, dat het hotel niet heel veel kamers heeft.
