Ferie

Er netop ankommet. Probl. Med at få det vi har bestilt hos Spies. Vi kunne ikke få vær. Med 2 separate senge. Nu er sengene flyttet til hver sin ende af vær.!!!! Bor lige ud til gade med larm, vejkryds og parkeringshus. Helt anderledes end det vi talte med Spies om.

Et dejligt hotel...

Vores opfattelse af Hotellet efter 7 overnatninger… Et dejligt hotel, med en fantastisk beliggenhed, tæt på den gamle bydel i Funchal, med de mange små og hyggelige restauranter. Hotellet ligger i et stille og roligt kvarter, men der er kun 5 minutters gang, så er man på strandpromenaden, eller midt i den gamle hyggelige bymidte. Hvis man vælger et værelse med havudsigt, får man en fantastisk udsigt ud over Funchal, havnen og havet. Hotellet har en dejlig atmosfærer, der er rent og pænt overalt, og personalet er altid søde og hjælpsomme. Vi kommer helt sikkert igen...

Be aware/ prepare

The hotel is in a fabulous location and the grounds are beautiful. Not a place for kids though. We had a balcony overlooking the pool with great sea views. We were B&B so the breakfasts were OK but we recommend eating out for other meals as the meal in the hotel was 'satisfactory', but overpriced and not great once you've experienced the fab restaurants on offer in the old town. Not great was the permitting of smoking on the terrace during breakfast and on the balconies - some guests think its OK to puff away next to whilst you're mid meal. However! 1- Our aircon did not work. After varying reassurances with no effect, the night staff slipped up and said it didn't work in many of the rooms. It's supposedly centrally controlled so you cannot adjust it yourself and have to ask. 2- there is no minibar and the fridge did not work 3- no bathrobes in the rooms 4- room dated with thin sheets, fraying towels and rusty bathroom fittings. 5 - you have to ask for a kettle and get limited supplies with no milk. Fortunately we brought tea/ coffee and the milk we bought did not last long as the fridge was warm. 6 - take insect repellent. We had to leave the door open as the air con did not work and got bitten. Others had the same issue as there were the tell tale smears of blood on the ceiling. 7- if you have a room above the kitchen, rooms 125- 131 you will get smells/ noise from the kitchens. 8 - staff were courteous but not chatty or effusive which we didnt mind. 9 - they charge for use of the safe. 1.5 euro/ day. That said, despite the mozzy bites, we had a lovely week on a fantastic island.

Lovely hotel, but could be better

This is a good hotel located in the old town, just 10-15 walk to the cable car and sea front. Plenty of small restaurants and bars within 10 minutes. It is an uphill walk back though - we used taxis a few times! The hotel had character, but no ambience. The building is like an old, colonial style house and is well appointed. The room was comfortable and clean, the housekeepers were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was poor. The hot buffet and fruit selection is served by a staff member which led to queues at busy times. The hot breakfast items were either warm or cold. There were no pastries - croissant or pan au chocolate-type pastries - just bread rolls. We were booked on a bed & breakfast tariff, but I would recommend people check sample menus if wanting half or full board. The staff were helpful. We had a great long weekend as we'd visited deliberately to see some of the flower festival, which was amazing and highly recommended.

Excellent hotel in the heart of the old town.

This hotel is well located and is only a few minutes walk from the fort and restaurants and bars. The beds and pillows are comfortable. There was a fridge and safe. Breakfast provided a wide range of choices and was served on the terrace overlooking the sea and harbour. The gardens are lush with flowers . There was always plenty of free sun loungers around the pool. This hotel is great for a quiet get away but at the same time there is lots to do in the old town of Funchal . The cable car to Monte and the Monte palace gardens are worth a visit. Guests can also hop on the local buses outside the hotel. We opted to join tours of the island by Viator which provided excellent value for money, around £27 for an 8 hour day trip. Well worth a visit to the Mozart Restaurant on a lunch time which provides exquisite food at a cheaper price than their evening menu. There is also a Catholic church within a 5 minute walk. The hotel was always clean and bedrooms are cleaned every day. I would only stay in Madeira again if I could stay at this hotel.
