Hotel Do Carmo

Hotel do Carmo set in the middle of Funchal close to the market, the old town and the bus station. Which made it really convenient as the bus station was on the sea front. The hotel is a three star, exceptionally clean and well kept. The room was adequate with a balcony and really good shower. No fridge or kettle in room. Downstairs the bar was comfortable and relaxing with lots of space. Snacks & meals served in the bar were well prepared and fresh. The pool and terrace on the roof was very clean and comfortable with fabulous views over Funchal and the sea. But, what makes this hotel special is the staff. They could not have been more helpful, they were really friendly and pleasant, the girl behind the bar was friendly pleasant efficient and professional. The reception helped immensely when we found our flight had been cancelled. The cleaning staff worked hard to keep the rooms up to standard (making sure the curtain which came off the rail twice was fixed). Definitely would return to this hotel.

My stay at the hotel was marvelous. Good location, in the center of funchal, and nice facilities all revealing a lot of good taste, super friendly staff. An excellent alternative for a comfortable holiday in the traditional center. The pool in the rooftop was simply explendid. To repeat!

Stayed here for total of 3 nights. Great welcome with a glass of fizz! Rooms clean but one room a bit small. All parts of the bathroom clean and function well, but a little small. Beds comfortable. Breakfast caters for all tastes, English and continental and there’s a bottle of fizz if required. Good hotel for 1 or 2 nights. Well placed for sightseeing the town.
