| Amazing value for money. Would definitely stay here again. Decent size room and despite overlooking the street was quiet at night. Breakfast basic but sufficient and for the price, what could anyone really expect. Great position of the hotel in the centre of Funchal and saved the trek in from the "hotel belt" |

| What we expected for the price. A little run-down but clean, well-located. Staff friendly and helpful. Go somewhere else for breakfast; very poor. |

| As others have said, brilliant location if wanting to stay in central Funchal. So if you are seeking a sun lounger, public lounges and bar, then this is not for you. The hotel is modern and extremely clean. We had a room on 3rd floor at the back with tiny balcony but there were no views worth looking at. I understand the sea can be seen from top floor (6th). There was hardly anyone staying at the hotel so it seemed quiet - other reviewers have said it was noisy but I guess if you had a room on the front it would be. Also room doors could only be closed very loudly. The one thing that really let this hotel down was the breakfast and it would be better if they reduced the price and provide board only. It consisted of lemon or orange squash, a choice of 4 different types of rolls, sliced processed cheese and ham, jams and stewed coffee. However, there is a supermarket next door with a cafe offering cheap but excellent coffee, croissants and other pastries. Up the road opposite there also numerous small bars selling similar and a cafe selling wonderful fruit salads and juices. You should also be aware that there is nowhere to park so not the base for you if you want to hire a car. And although the booking is reserved through a credit card, the hotel does not actually accept credit or debit cards. Otherwise great value for money. |

| hotel in good location, fair price for the quality , but we had a triple room which was tooo small and also very dark in the daytime, having only one small window and no balcony,it was also very noisy, if we left the window open at night the sound of traffic went on all night and if we closed the window in order for the air conditioning to work that was very noisy. they have rooms with balconies and if i went again i would ask for. Apart from it is a nice friendly hotel right in the town center and near the old town |

| Bed was of poor quality. First room was smoky, they changed it, 2nd was fine. Should charge a bit more a give a little better breakfast. Location was excellent, but the characters hanging around outside were undersirable (however, they did not bother anyone). Hotel was also a short on things to do in the area. Overall for what you oaid and what you got, it is a good deal. We were delayed byt TAP and called the hotel to inform them that we would not be there until the second night. They insisted that we pay for that night anyway and request a refund from Venere - WE ARE SO REQUESTING! |

| Useful for short trips. For a longer stay the room was too small and the air condition machine outside too loud. |

| The location of the Hotel was convenient not in a noisy central street but very easy to reach the central.Besides a very noisy aircondition that welcome us friday afternoon and was repaired only monday morning - we can recomand this nice hotel in this beautiful place.It might be important to mention that next to the hotel is a Supermarket with a large variety of products. |

| Very good location in the centre, friendly staff. Breakfast is better than a normal continental style. I can offer it if you search for a good three star hotel. |
