Hotel Catedral

A small 3 stars hotel with a perfect location in the heart of Funchal center , just across the touristic harbour. There are 5 leveles with an open terrace on the fifth floor where you can smoke , enjoy your coffee or simple watch the nice panorama in front of you . The hotel has a modern elevator . Our room was quite small, with old but functional furniture .Still , the double bed was narrow for 2 adults ( only 155 - 160 cms in width ) and the matress rather rigid . Bathroom was ok , no complaint . I still suggest to the management to replace the very big body towels with much smaller ones because there is not enough space to let them dry properly . Air conditioning was perfectly working . Wifi signal was good . Room cleaning was done everyday. Hotel does not offer lunch or dinner but this is not a problem with so many restaurants around . Breakfast is 3 stars standard but the same products are offered every day so it becomes boring soon . But the best in the hotel was the staff : very polite, nice , kind , obliging . Thank you all ! Tips : Take care at reservation because : - not all rooms have balcony - not all rooms have front ( nice ) view - not all rooms have minifridge Please take into consideration that the hotel is placed near The Funchal Catholic Cathedral and the big bells mark the time every hour, quarters, halves and 3 quarters of hours from 6 in the morning to 8 in the evening ! All together , we had a nice stay and could came back here any time !
