Spacious rooms and welcoming staff
Very friendly staff, nice spacious rooms (with kitchen gear if needed), clean and a bit more quiet on the courtyard side. No special view on courtyard side.
Pool outside but most of amenities (restaurant, other pool) on Casino side.

Great location and very helpful staff! Rooms could use a rejuvenation (carpets were stained and the walls were marked up).

Great hotel!
Great hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. The place was very clean. It was great having access to all of the facilities of the park hotel next door. Location was perfect, closer to the “old town” Funchal than most of the hotels, about a 20 min walk to the center, but great area near a lot. Overall I felt very safe, only thing to note is that there is no one at the front desk between midnight and 7am, but you will need your key card to get into the building between those hours. Also, the locks on the door of the room did not have the “latch type” lock. It was locked by the normal card access lock and a dead bolt, but in a hotel I like having that latch on the door to feel safer. Would recommend and stay again!

Great location. The rooms have too much furniture for the size which makes it feel cramped and our room was on a noisy street. Access to the amenities of the next door Pestana Casino property is a big bonus.

Location excellent with bus stop into city centre on road outside hotel.
Excellent room with plenty of storage space and air-conditioned. Nice sized fridge with freezer compartment in kitchen.
Small sized pool within hotel grounds with access to large pool at large hotel next door.
Reception staff all very friendly.
Plenty of restaurants opposite hotel as well as a couple of supermarkets (the one down the hill to the side of the Casino Park hotel is the better one to go to price wise) and a 24 hour petrol station opposite.

Very nice, clean, modern hotel apartment.
Really nice room with very comfy bed, good shower, convenient little kitchenette, nice balcony, very very tidy. Pool looked pleasant but we didn't use as we had free use of the pools and spa at the sister hotel immediately next door (which is a very swanky hotel with amazing interiors). Conveniently located nearby to the town and also near the hotel district with it's good selection of restaurants, also near the bus stops for the airport and tours around the island. Nice helpful staff also who helped answer any questions.

Was expecting better
I was freezing in the bedroom, the AC didn’t work and the duvets were not warm enough. A couple of days during the stay, they missed cleaning my room and had to chase them. Doors were left open wgilst the cleaning staff was around and because weather wasn’t great it got really cold.

Great choice, excellent location
Great choice! All the comfort of new rooms with small kitchenette combined with access to all of the facilities of the 5-star Casino Park hotel next door - infinity pool, bars, restaurants, gym.
Reception team - especially Jessica - all lovely.

Well located apartment hotel
Fantastic place if you get a high floor looking towards the town. We had probably the best room #6013.
The room came with a balcony, but being on a busy road was very noisy
Pool is small, but well located on the south side of the building. We were turned off by the 5* parent hotel next door - cold and featureless, Absolutely no character. The indoor heated pool next door is free to use but is a long way to get to, in the hotel basement, but is useless for swimming in
The town is just ten minutes stroll down the hill. Plenty of buses to/from the town (and the Aerobus from the airport (5 euros pp, ask for the Casino stop) stop right outside, including the open topped tourist bus

Very comfortable clean apartments...
Only 2 years old so rooms in a good condition...unfortunately it is a bit noisy sitting on the balconies.. we did ask to be moved and the young lady on reception was so helpful and we ended with a room on the ground floor facing the swimming pool. This was a lovely room. A very nice clean apartment. Wonderfully comfortable bed, large tv, good size bathroom. Not much room for storing clothes tho. Only real gripe would be that self catering facilities very poor, 3 mugs, 3 glasses, 3 set of cutlery only. One pan and 1 small frying pan. Not much room to cook food. No wine glasses. Hotel need to think about improving this part of the service. Apartment in a good position for getting out and about. Had a really nice stay.

Överlag ett bra hotell. Rena, moderna och fina rum. Sängarna saknar bäddmadrass och är därav hårda.
Hotellet ligger vid en högljudd väg, man behöver ett rum mot poolen eller bort från vägen om man vill kunna öppna ut mot balkongen.
Vissa i personalen supertrevliga, vissa yngre i personalen snudd på otrevliga.
Hotellet intill där man får äta frukost (om man köpt det) och utnyttja alla faciliteter är femstjärnigt men ganska nedgånget. Frukosten medioker. Men deras takpool är väldigt härlig.

Es gibt ein Pool direkt am Hotel, zwei weitere und ein Indoorpool gibt es nebenan im Casino Park Hotel, die ebenso wie der dortige Speisesaal mitgenutzt werden kann. Die Zimmer sind sauber, freundliches hilfsbereites Personal an der Rezeption. Kleine Kritik an dem Design der Zimmer, aber das ist ja immer Geschmacksache.

Un séjour agréable, notre chambre était simpliste mais mignonne. Il aurait pu y avoir plus de commodité tel qu’une machine à café mais rien de majeur. Très propre, le service était impeccable. A distance à pied moins de 15 minutes des restaurants et autre attraction de Funchal. Un stationnement est disponible au casinos et il n’est pas dispendieux. Très beau séjour!

Great hotel, centrally located!
A very nice hotel with a beautiful garden area including a swimmingpool. The room was also nice and we had a great view towards the garden.
An advise to the personnel; upon arrival you must smile and welcome the guests, make them feel valuable and unique 😊

Perfekt für einen Kurztrip. Kleine Küchenecke ist vorhanden. Besser ein Zimmer Richtung Pool anfragen da die Hauptstraße schon recht laut ist.
