Dear guest, We are deeply sorry to learn from your poor experience with us. What you describe, does not reflect our normal standards and suprise us that any feedback has been given during the stay. Nevertheless, all feedback is an important improvement tool and we appreciate the time you took to send yours. As we fail to provide a memorable service on this particular occasion, we hope to have a second opportunity to exceed your expectations.

STANZA SPORCA E LENZUOLA SPORCHE
La nostra permanenza (per fortuna di 1 sola notte) è stato un incubo. La stanza era sporca, i cuscini (che tra l'altro non abbiamo nemmeno trovato sul letto ma all'interno di un armadio uno sopra l'altro) erano sporchi di sudore di altre persone con attaccati i relativi capelli; il bagno era sporco, così come gli asciugamani. Siamo arrivati tardi quella sera e non abbiamo potuto parlare di persona con i proprietari che ci avevano solo aperto dal citofono e ci avevano lasciato le chiavi in camera, altrimenti glielo avremmo rimproverato. La mattina seguente siamo andati via prestissimo e non abbiamo fatto in tempo a vederli (era una stanza pre-pagata). Sconsigliassimo!

Dear Katerina, We apologize for the poor experience you had at our studios. Our reception is not open 24 hours and for that reason we ask our guests to inform about their flight number so we can be on-site upon arrival. When this information is not available we might open the door remotely, but that doesn't mean we will not assist our guests in case of need. What you are describing is not acceptable for our standards and we would have moved you to another room or would have asked the housekeeper to clean the room again with your supervision if we had knowned about your dissatisfaction. Under these circumstances I can only present our most sincere apologies. Kind regards,

Positief: Netheid, staat van de accommodatie en faciliteiten en comfort kamer
Very convenient location near central Funchal, shopping centre, bus connections and restaurants. There is not a lot of facilities on the hotel, but as we were mainly interested in a place with kitchen and bed for the night and a couple of hours resting once in a while, we were very satisfied with this place. It is basic, yet clean, and everything works! We were assigned an incorrect room, and thus had to move half way through our stay. They were apologizing a lot for this circumstance, and therefore assigned us a larger room than we paid for, and free breakfast. Small but convenient kitchens enabling to do a little cooking yourself. The hotel-breakfast had a fair variety of items when taking the price into consideration, but it was a little boring with dry bread, and very hard boiled eggs. We enjoyed preparing our breakfast in the room instead, and eating on our sunny balcony. Btw, once in a while they ran out of warm water for the shower.

Dear Britta, Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very happy to hear that you had a good time in our studios and have enjoyed your superior room. On the other hand we were very suprised to hear that hot water ran out in more than one occasion, specially because each room has a water boiller with 50 liters capacity. We will check any malfunctions immediately. We thank your preference and look foward to welcome you in a future occasion. Warm regards, Luísa

Dear guest Thank you for your feedback following your stay at Apartamentos São Paulo e Alegra. We appreciate to know that you found our service corteous and staff friendly. We understand that you preferred to move to a studio instead of staying in the economic double room as initially booked. Such upgrade has a cost, although insignificant considering the quality of accommodation. We can only apologize for knowing the room did not live up to expectations. On the other hand, we are happy to learn that after moving to a studio you had a great stay and your overall experience was very positive. We look foward for the opportunity to welcome you again in this house. Warm regards from Madeira! Luísa

Prsonál byl milý, extrémně nápomocen řešit vše co bylo potřeba. Radil i co podniknout. Jedinou vadou byla nefunkčnost internetu na pokoji-když se přiślo na recepci, fungoval bezvadně. Pokud se týče snídani byly vždy čerstvé ale byly stále stejné-cereálie, croissanty, sladký dort/roláda, šunka, sýr a máslo. Výběr čajů, káva(v termosce), voda a džus. Za espresso(Nespresso) příplatek 1€.

Reactie van Luísa op 16 jul 2016
Dear Daniel, Thank you for your feedback, it will certaintly help us improve our service. The building is historical and is city heritage, protected by portuguese law, so we cannot install air-conditioning boxes in the facade. We are studying our options but until then we will keep the hot and cold ventilators. Each room has one but we are able to provide an extra one and from our guests feedback its works really well. Hope to have the oportunity to welcome you again in the near future. All the best!

Reactie van Luisa op 15 jul 2016
Estimado Luís, Agradecemos os seus comentários que certamente nos ajudarão a melhorar os nossos serviços. Apreciamos o facto de ter enfatizado a higiene, a qualidade do serviço prestado e a centralidade do nosso estabelecimento. Se fôssemos a procurar 3 atributos pelos quais gostaríamos de ser reconhecidos seriam provavelmente esses mesmos... Em relação às comodidades, iremos analisar o que poderemos implementar, se bem que consideramos as que temos justas para as tarifas praticadas. A decoração é sempre um aspecto muito pessoal... Tentamos que a nossa reflicta a história do edifício, por isso optamos por um mobiliário português clássico. Sabemos que o mesmo não será do agrado de todos, se bem que o feedback da maioria dos nossos clientes seja muito positivo, ainda assim lamentamos que não tenha sido esse o seu caso. Apesar de algumas nuances, ficamos felizes por saber que a sua estadia foi agradável e contamos ter o prazer de o receber novamente nesta casa. Um abraço da Madeira! Luísa.

Viikko edullisessa huoneessa monine puutteineen.
Hotelli on hyvällä paikalla lähellä keskustan tapahtumia ja kauppoja. Hotellihuoneemme oli eri rakennuksessa ja eri kadulla kuin päärakennus. Liikenteen melu oli ajoittain häiritsevää, vaikka varauksessa luki, että hotelli sijaitsee hiljaisen sivukadun varrella :( Hotellihuoneen varustelu oli kyllä tarkoitukseemme riittävä (keittiö). Huoneen turvalokeron lukko oli rikki. Kylpyhuone kyllä kaipaisi pikaista remonttia: likaiset saumat, vessanpytty vuosi lattialle vettä, lavuaarin hana jäykkä ja vessan painonappi jäi välillä jumiin, ilmanvaihto huono. Siivooja teki työnsä kuitenkin erittäin hyvin, siitä kiitos. Sängyt ja tyynyt olivat melko hyvät. Hotellin palveluja emme käyttäneet.

Modernized old building in the middle of Funchal
If you want to be in the middle of Funchal, within walking distance to most everything, consider this hotel. It is an old building and they have spent money to modernize it but it does not have all of the conveniences of a newly built hotel. The thick walls make the wifi signal weak in some places. There is no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage and wind up on the third floor you have some work to do. Isabella keeps the place as clean as can be and the breakfast is good. The beds are comfortable and the staff is helpful. If we come back to Funchal we would gladly stay there again. You cetrainly get full value for what you spend.

Great, clean, good value hotel. Super friendly staff. and roomy accommodation were all pluses. Not so good was having a Restaurant directly underneath the room made it difficult to sleep and without Airco the windows needed to be open at night and with the restaurant and street noise including vehicles right under the windows made sleeping very difficult. Well worth booking at this hotel but ask for a room higher up than the ground floor..

Good value, Helpful staff, Lovely balcony
A really nice hotel for the price. Our first room was in the annexe (Alegria) and had street noise, but the manager was happy to move us to the main hotel (Sao Paulo). Our new room opened onto a lovely balcony (shared with two other rooms, but that was OK). The shower room with wc was tiny (so the washbasin was in the bedroom itself), but it was all fine - clean, fresh towels every day, cheerful service, great breakfast (help yourself to ham, cheese, boiled egg, lovely bread rolls and croissants, a toaster, honey, jam and marmalade, tea, coffee, juice, various cereals, yoghurt and various fruits. And in our bedroom, there was a kettle, cups, teacloths, full size fridge and hairdryer. We also used the free computer in the reception area. On our last day, the manager arranged things specially so that we could keep our room until the afternoon so that we could rest before our evening flight. The manager is also easy to deal with by email as he speaks several languages.

Loved it, would return anytime!
My wife and I stayed for 20 days over the Christmas/New Years period. Great location, clean and very friendly staff. They will provide advice on which sights to see, arrange car rentals, etc. It is a 5 minute walk to a shopping centre with a large super market. Food prices are good, and with the apartment's stove, microwave, fridge and dishes; you can eat well on a modest budget. Complementary wireless internet is provided in all rooms -- fast and reliable. Breakfast is included, and it was good with various breads, cheese, cereal, fruit, coffee and tea, etc. If you rent a car (we did) inexpensive parking is provided across the street. Madeira is not small, so if you are comfortable driving a standard shift, as all rentals are here, that is the best way to get around. If not, one of the main bus terminals is 5 minutes away and will take you to most of the major attractions on the island. You can pay more and stay at a luxury hotel, but if you want the flexibility of doing most of your own cooking and enjoying the central part of traditional Funchal, you will be hard pressed to beat this place. We really enjoyed our stay at Apartamentos Turisticos Sao Paulo e Alegria, and we highly recommend it to others.
