Pros:

Perfect location! Everything very clean. Rooftop bar and pool made for great relaxation between excursions!

Cons:

The hotel looks nice but wear and tear are starting to show in different locations, bed linnen and towels with holes and stains.
I would expect a propper coffee mashine in the breakfast.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of Funchal
Pros:

Fantastic location. Easy to reach places of interest. Staff very helpful when approached.
Excellent choice of breakfast foods. Very comfortable beds, essential for a holiday stay.

Cons:

We did not like the spring-loaded bathroom door. It was impossible to go for a pee during the night without waking the other person in the room.

Schöne Altstadtlage, aber nicht mehr.
Pros:

Die Lage in der Altstadt ist wirklich toll und dad Schönee grosse Zimmer auch. Der Preis ist für diese Kategorie ok und auch das Frühstück. Die Bar ist eine der Besten im Umkreis.

Cons:

Man hat keine Aussicht (Altstadtlage) und bei offenem Fester zu schlafen ist schwierig, weil der Gassenlärm sehr laut ins Zimmer kommt. Keine Parkplätze vorhanden. Der Föhn im Zimmer war defekt.

Uma experiência imperdível.
Pros:

Ótima localização, pessoal atencioso, serviço e café da manhã impecável. A piscina na cobertura é um show a parte.

Cons:

A ótima localização no centro dificulta estacionar carros. Os estacionamentos estão a 400 ou 500 metros do hotel. Mas é possível chegar a ele para deixar e apanhar malas, sem grades problemas. Mas tudo isso é explicado na oferta, então não pode ser tratado com uma falha. No mais, todo ótimo.
