Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
The hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly. I would recommend it. There were not many guests when we stayed so it was quiet. The room was suitable and we enjoyed the balcony. The staff were good and the cleaners did a good job every day.
Stayed for a week in September, lovely clean hotel, great location. We booked a seaview room and it was a fantastic place to sit on the balcony and look out on the view. Highly recommend this hotel, great value for money too.
Elka and Peter from Carlow, Ireland We spent seven wonderful days in Madeira. We stayed at the Aparthotel Imperatriz, Funchal. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Madeira and have a peaceful and enjoyable stay there. We were warmly welcomed there and wonderfully looked after throughout our stay. The room was very well equipped: kitchenette with sink, fridge, microwave, cutlery and cooking utensils. We personally only used the fridge for fruits, as the hotel is next door to the wonderful restaurant "Bernini" with a very rich menu, they also offer a breakfast buffet. You can enter the restaurant directly from the reception. They are only separated by a door. The bathroom is huge, equipped with a bath, shower, bidet, hairdryer, etc. The room was cleaned thoroughly daily, bed linen and towels were changed daily. The receptionist Claudia was very kind and helped us choose and book 3 day excursions and a catamaran tour, for which we are very grateful. The hotel is very conveniently located in the center of Funchal and is next to some of the best restaurants. The central pier can be reached on foot in just 15 minutes, passing through a beautiful city park with diverse and very beautiful vegetation. There are hop-on hop-off bus stops in both directions near the hotel.
Lovely staff and very helpful. Food in the attached restaurant was excellent. Breakfast choice was very limited and would benefit with the addition of pastries/croissants. Great Location.
Bad Points- There's clearly a problem with ants in the hotel, I stayed in room 102 and they were everywhere, in the fridge, bathroom, on the beds. I woke up covered in bites. The staff were very helpful and immediately moved rooms for me (to 105).
This room also had ants in there but they seemed confined to the bathroom so I just put up with them for the remainder of my stay. The room was quite hot as there is no air con and both rooms were very noisy as they overlooked the road.
The rooms were clean and cleaned regularly.
Overall the stay was fine, just the ants situation put a dampener on the stay.
Hotel was great!Reasonably priced and in a great location.We had a little kitchenette...2 hob rings, microwave,kettle,basic cutlery and crockery... More than enough for what we needed. Staff were helpful, particularly George on reception.Wifi was reliable, and balcony big enough
