Sehr gut
Pros:

Lage perfekt, Personal aussergewöhnlich freundlich, Frühstück sehr gut,

Sonst alles zu empfehlen! 😊

Cons:

Organisation der Platzzuteilung beim Frühstück ist etwas veraltet… die Menschen von Heute können sind selbständig genug sich selber einen Platz zu suchen… damit würde die Warterei entfallen …

They take care of you - Excellent service from staff, comfortable beds, very clean room
Pros:

Very welcoming from the start. The staff are great, especially Diogo on reception. Very helpful and polite, offered lots of useful recommendations and a welcome drink. There was an issue with the booking (I accidentally booked 1 person in the room rather than 2 but wasn't blamed for this and it was sorted quickly and professionally). Excellent breakfast, lots of options at the buffet, also can be made to order not just the buffer. Beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are nice. We had a room where the balcony had sun from the morning. Even the staff at breakfast are fantastic and speak very good English. There are more older guests, we were one of the few couples in our 20s that we could see, but that is expected given the hotel is a bit more pricy. Would still stay here again. Nice rooftop and location was good.

Cons:

Coffee could be better barista but filter coffee is available and machine but machine is not great. Also no ironing available for free, comes with extra charge as a service which I've not seen many times, normally can request an iron to the room if you want to do it yourself.

Heerlijk, maar anders dan verwacht
Pros:

De plek in de stad, heerlijk centraal

Cons:

We zijn denk ik op het verkeerde been gezet door de naam Boutique Hotel; het is namelijk best groot (80+ kamers), het ontbijt daardoor heel strak geregisseerd, bepaalde ruimten voldoen aan het beeld van een Boutique Hotel, maar zeker niet alles!

Outstanding!
Pros:

Cannot find fault with this most beautiful hotel in the heart of Funchal down a quiet side street. À la carte restaurant serves delicious food with excellent staff. Housekeeping do an amazing job keeping the hotel spotlessly clean. There are lovely seating areas, a good bar, rooftop pool/terrace with the best views. Our room was lovely with balcony overlooking courtyard, nice comfy bed and lovely bathroom with good size shower, good towels and beautiful toiletries.
The spa is worth a visit, it’s a must. The designers have done a wonderful job with this historic hotel.

Amazing, fabulous hotel but avoid the Iris bar!
Pros:

This is an amazing hotel! I'd recommend it to anyone. It's beautiful, spotless, the breakfast is amazing and the staff on reception were wonderful. Rooms are fantastic.

The Iris bar is very nice. However, on night one I was given wonderful service and lots of snacks from q fantastic barman whereas today (17.5.26) there was a new person serving - a bald, miserable, unpleasant man. I asked for a Baileys, he ignored me. He gave me about 5 nuts with my first order! Compared to the previous server it was very disappointing and next time I visit Madeira I'll be avoiding this bar. Quite a frustrating end to my stay in the hotel actually as he really was not very nice.
