Alles on Allem ein gelungener Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Frühstück sehr gut. Omelette, Spiegeleier etc. werden ganz frisch gemacht.
Lage des Hotels super. Unmittelbar im Zentrum Funchals.
Schöne Roof topp Bar mit kleinem Pool, hervorragende Aussicht.

Cons:

Das Schrankplatzangebot ist absolut unzureichend. Ich war allein in einem Doppelzimmer und hatte nicht genügend Ablagemöglichkeiten im geschlossenen Schrank für meine Bekleidung.

Pros:

Good breakfast and very central location.
Nice rooftop pool and plenty of sunbeds.

Cons:

Room was not cleaned on several occasions until late afternoon. Missing items like water , towels etc . Not great housekeeping.
Dirty drain smell coming from bathroom the day we checked in , but not sure if this was due to heavy rain as seemed to be a problem outside as well.

Great location and decent standard
Pros:

The location does it. It cannot be more central than it is. Very helpful staff

Cons:

There are some noises in the room but it comes with the very central location - it is bearable though. Good breakfast but poor lunch/dinner restaurant (there are 2).

Great location, nice tarrace with the pool
Pros:

We really loved that the pool was open in January and the water was warmed up :) It's a small pool, so it's not possible to swim there properly, but it's still lovely. The location is very convenient for traveling around the island. Personnel were very nice.

Cons:

The room was quite dark, I had the feeling it was raining outside all the time, even though it was sunny. Also, there are not a lot of vegan options for breakfast
