Residencial Chafariz in Funchal presents significant concerns, particularly in terms of guest comfort and overall building suitability for the region's climate.

Reports suggest that the accommodation offers extremely small rooms, a critical issue compounded by the absence of adequate ventilation. This combination creates an environment that is likely to be unbearably hot, especially during Funchal's warmer months. The building's construction appears ill-equipped to dissipate heat, a problem exacerbated by the lack of cooling options within the rooms.

The thin mattresses and poor sound insulation further contribute to the subpar living conditions. Guests are likely to experience discomfort due to the mattress quality, while the noise levels within the building could be disruptive to sleep and relaxation.

Furthermore, the practice of charging extra for additional guests is unusual and raises questions about the overall guest experience and the hotel's clientele.

Given the described conditions, it seems reasonable to assume that Funchal offers better budget accommodations that provide a more comfortable and enjoyable stay. Potential visitors are advised to explore alternative options.

Residencial Chafariz: A Concerning Overview

Great value in a very clean hotel in the centre of Funchal. A very good place to see if al that you need is a bed, a shower and continental breakfast while you explore this wonderful island. Very efficient and friendly team help you find good local restaurants and special places to see. Try the local buses -  efficient and great value.

Great value in a clean hotel

Bad experience dealing with this hotel. Don't expect any sympathy in case you need to modify your booking. The owners don't make any effort to help its guests and disregard all  poor reviews. Definitely not good value for money.

Bad experience. Stay away !

Great budget hotel very close to the cathedral with its bells which were pleasant ringing out quarter, half and on the hour. Very central location with restaurants right on the doorstep.
Room was clean, made up daily with towel changes. Staff both reception and housekeeping were nice.
You need to ask for a kettle and extension lead. No tea making facility/ microwave in the room I stayed in.
I did not sample breakfast.
Not a bad little place and I’d probably stay again.

Great central budget hotel

to be honest the island is beautyfull but i strongly dont recomend this hotel...
first of all the staff (two black haired female recepcionist) are impolite, rude...
Rooms and breakfast (one slice of cheese and one slice of deli)  are modest.

Never again...

the breakfast was a piece of slice cheese piece of spam some butter a coffee juice and piece bread same each day  the room so tiny that the adjoining bathroom was bigger the shower was broken they never fixed all week got charged twice for safe in room didnt realize till i got home and found reciepts noisey  no were to get a drink in the place coffee or beer locked out couple of times during my stay has no one manning reception tv only had three channels old fashion tv could not tune cleaning not up to scracth could not close the window cold terrible place never stay there again expensive to oh lift kept breaking down never any management to contact

dump

Positive aspects :

30€ a night for a single room, private bathroom and light breakfast included. Centrally located (2 minutes walk to the cathedral). 

Other aspects :

The breakfast is not consistent (bread, cheap cheese and ham), dull “juice” and tea or coffee. Could do a lot better.

Not bad 

Simple bed and breakfast very clean rooms although basic. Serves breakfast on top floor so can be a little noisy between 7.30 - 10 am if you are in the room below.  Great sized bathroom which always had plently of hot water.  Very central position just behind Cathedral so made finding somewhere to eat in the evenings very easy and coice of places to eat where never ending would definitely recommend for a short stay

Simple bed and breakfast

There are absolutely no frills with this hotel. Bedding is basic, with thin sheets and a hard pillow. No free toiletries, a basic breakfast of bread, orange juice and coffee, and a pretty bare room and hotel. Staff on the front desk were pretty curt. I wouldn't stay here again - sometimes saving money isn't worth the misery of a bad hotel.

Basic, with rude staff

I feel I must post this , incase this could happen to other people , we booked this Hotel on 1st may through late rooms web site for New Year's Eve celebrations , booking was confirmed , so we booked our flights , now I have just been emailed to inform me Hotel can not accommodate as fully booked , also they said they were not even on the late rooms site!!! Which is where I booked it , late rooms have sent us information on other hotels , however they are miles away from the centre of Funchal , and are totally unsuitable , The Hotel is blaming late rooms , and late rooms blaming Hotel it's disgusting that we booked it six months ago , and only just been told , there is no accommodation in Funchal now as it's so late , I really hope it has not happen to anyone else , but I recommend to check your bookings as you may end up in our situation
