Residencial Colombo

What a mistake I did booking this place. It's terrible. The hotel which is on pictures doesn't exist anymore and it is shut. This one is literally next door now from old one. When I step in the room that old smell made me sick. Everything is so old and damaged. I had a room with window, which goes absolutely nowhere. So no daylight at all and need to turn on lights. Also after the first night I had some bites marks on my legs, plus the noise is literally coming from everywhere, you can forget about relax. Even after all day exploring Funchal I didn't want to come back to the room for a sleep. Somehow I had 2 nights and moved out to the 4 star hotel paying same money!!!

We got a so-called flat 20m2 no table a double bed 120 we're the matras is smaller than the bed length 180. Forget about being comfy with 2 people. Then the noise from the neighbours who nicely literally banged on our door before 10 a for who knows what. No airco no fannothing except mosquitos. Kitchen nothing to cook and the tab stream lands outside the sink. So cet beside door sowhen u open the main door u destroy what is plugged in. Bathroom clean but very small and very old. I real scam. 46 euros for no sleep noise no space and really primitive bath. At level of the what is called in France "marchand de sommeil" and thé smell of the place like was not open for years. To be avoided.

We stayed at this hotel twice and have booked it again. It’s a budget-friendly place in the very centre of Funchal. It has everything we need really - the rooms are spacious, there’s always hot water in the shower, the rooms are cleaned every day. Faultless, fast WiFi (crucial if you are working remotely or travelling with a teen). Massive kudos to the amazing staff - they are very friendly and courteous. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Funchal or getting to other places in Madeira.
