We arrived on Saturday evening and decided to go out to find something to eat. We found that everything was in town, which is a 40 to 50 minute walk down the steep hill. We had a wander around near the hotel and found a local pub open and ate there. The hotel is located on a very steep hill, and getting back was quite a hike. |On Sunday, we decided to walk into town and found that most of it was shut. We decided to eat our evening meal at the hotel. The food was good but the restaurant had very little atmosphere. We didn't like the quietness with people whispering and the gentle noise of cutlery on crockery. We didn't eat there again in the evening.|The breakfast maybe was more suited to German tastes. Many other guests were German. |We had a good look around and the hotel has some lovely areas and facilities. The views over Funchal were superb. Maybe it's good if you just want to stay in the hotel. ||We hired a car because we really needed to, to get anywhere. A local yellow taxi had charged us €15 for a five minute journey. The hotel car park was close and free to use. The roads up to and around the hotel were quite challenging. There were lots of one-way systems, and we got lost even with a sat nav. The road system at the bottom of the hill was particularly confusing. It's not directly to do with the hotel, but having to endure and cope with that was part of the experience of staying in the area. |The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the room maid did excellent work every day. |In hindsight, we should have booked closer to the town or in a quieter area with user-friendly roads. The hotel was good, but the location ruined the experience for us.|

I stayed at this hotel for the 3rd time. Nothing has changed much, superior rooms (101 - 105) have nice view over Funchal, they are cozy, a bit small and with a bath tub. Breakfast has all you need, from fresh fruit to pastry, dry fruit, various nuts, salami, cheeses, etc. Dinner menu offers from fish to meat, scarce for vegetarians. Food is delicious, although soup is heated from frozen. You rarely get salad, desserts are yummy, especially chocolate fondue. Selection of wines is more local, but that's good. When it comes to staff, Marco and Tânia are the kindest and most attentive (and new receptionist guy always greeted politely). Cleaning ladies do their job pretty good, as well. The area at the back of the hotel is although nice, somehow forgotten and not cleaned. The hotel has free parking, fitness and sauna (need to be prebooked). I highly recommend, because the hotel overall offers all you need. Keep on with good work and critiques are meant to make you the best! Obrigado Quinta Mirabela 💕
