it is a cheap but old and simple accomodation.It is a good location,near the centrum and near the sea promenade. The higher rooms and rooms in front praça colombo and backrooms are quiter. the breakfast is very basic,2 breads,jam and a triangle cheese

Great place to stay, in the middle of it all. Way better than the hotel zone. Everything is couple of minutes walk away. Clean, relatively well equipped, safe. Spent there three days, very happy with it.

The room was spacious, kitchen corner functional, balcony small but lovely with a great view to... More

We're a young couple and stayed at Residencial Zarco for 7 nights. Please notice: this is not a 5 star hotel, so, we can't be very demanding... But, we liked staying here. Next we'll tell you the good and bad things, but, I can say right now that, if we go back to Madeira, we will stay here again. I... More
