"This is a lovely hotel in a great location, right on the middle of Funchal Old Town. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, breakfast is excellent."
"We liked everything about this hotel…except problems with breakfast during our entire stay.. For the three days that we were guests at this lovely hotel, we found that there was just not enough staff to manage keeping the tables clean, getting adequate food on the buffet table, refilling the platters, putting out sufficient mugs, etc. The two staff members who were working were polite with our requests, and very respectful, but they just couldn’t do it all on their own. This needs to be rectified for the hotel to be truly deserving of a 5-star rating. "
