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.

Fantastic, low-cost, perfect location
This was my second stay at this location; the price is unbelievable! Lovely little kitchen, fab bathroom and comfy beds, cleaned every day. 2 minutes from the centre of town, this is perfect for anyone who fancies staying amongst actual Madeirans in the old town rather than the newer, fancier hotels. Wonderful experience!

Perfect hotel for people on a tight budget
Excellent value for money. If you need a clean, central place just to sleep, no fancy pools, etc., this is perfect.

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.

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!

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.
