Hotel do Carmo

Location was a good base for getting around Funchal. Fresh towels were left in room every day. Safe in room. The roof top pool area is good for catching the sun albeit the pool isn't heated. Reception staff all very helpful and they allow you to leave your luggage there after checking out The 12pm check out time is also good The price was good compared to other hotels in Funchal.

The hotel is very central, within walking distance of the old town, cable car, city, waterfront and lots of restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful, even when you arrive in the middle of the night. The breakfast is extensive, with one of the most generous fresh fruit arrays I have seen on a breakfast buffet. The rooftop pool was wonderful, even in early April. Try to get a room with a balcony, so you will be able to dry your swimwear outside. The room was a decent size, versus the hotel rooms I had in Lisbon.

The staff and their service were really nice. They really tried to please us and always greeted us with a smile. The location was perfect, very close to the city center and the beach whilst being quiet and reserved. The bedroom is really simple, so don't expect luxury (but the price is really adjusted). The breakfast is good: a lot of fresh fruit, different types of bread and so on. Also, a good positive point was the rooftop and the swimming pool on there.

The staff were very helpful and kind at all times. The facilities were good. The swimming pool was fine as well. It was my partner's birthday and they gave us a little gift to celebrate. Tania and Luisa were very nice. The balcony was nice.

The location was the best part. In central Funchal, close to everything. Breakfast was good. More than just bread and coffee. The room was clean and had an excellent balcony.
