A little noisy but excellent location
A fantastic location within walking distance of so much. There's a great little bar next to the hotel that's very well priced, but does produce a little noise at night. The hotel only has one family room which is a great size but as it's right above the bar and opposite the breakfast room it is a tad noisy at times, but this is offset by comfy beds, a great shower and nice staff. The continental breakfast is plentiful and tasty. 10 minutes walk to a fantastic park and a couple of minutes to the seafront. Bus to the airport leaves just across the road so great transport links.
We stayed either end of our cruise and would stay there again with our child.

Is worth paying more in another hotel
The only good thing about this hotel is the location. Dirty cleans, dirty wall, dirty bathroom, the room is so small that if you bring more that one carry on, you would have to open the door in order to be able to open the second suitcase. Or put the suitcases on your bed.

Location, Location, Location. A nice small Bed and Breakfast in the midst of the city. close to restaurants, bars , shopping and harbor. The room I had was a little small, so it is maybe not for you if you visit Funchal to only stay inside your hotel room. Perfect if you are under 175cm as the beds are a bit compact sized.

Zarco guest house was wonderful. Rooms are small (not suitable for large people/luggage) to move around in and nicely appointed. Great location near to everything: siteseeing, restaurants, ocean, shopping and lovely squares.
Breakfast was delicious with many options including fresh fruit and pasteries. Highly recommend.
