We booked the hotel directly this year having previousy stayed here on a Thomsons holiday in 2002. The hotel is located in the heart of Funchal next to a small but pretty park. If you want to wander around Funchal in the evening without worrying about taxis or buses you will find its location ideal. If you intend to use... more

Closest hotel to the centre of Funchal - everything is within walking distance (most hotels are set miles to the West of Funchal). Moden, very clean but above all one of the most helpful hotels I have ever stayed in. No request was too much trouble and the staff all genuinely care about the guests enjoyment - there's plenty of... more
