Pestana Casino Studios

Espaco agradavel e bem localizado. Atendimento excelente.

Tudo que precisava no momento encontrei. Funcionários atenciosos.. perto do centro da cidade. Muito bom

We stayed two nights. Felt more like a capsule hotel than a 4-star hotel. Main access is via an external stairs/lift. Our room was immediately off the landing so close to the main road. Even with the windows closed, bus noise was annoying. My partner found herself trapped in the bathroom as the sliding door was trapped. This was fixed promptly. A walk to the main hotel for all facilities.

Do not waste your money staying at this hotel, it is not 5 star in any way. Rooms are tired and mould in the bathrooms. Needs a complete refurbishment, carpets hanging on the wall!!!!! When you ask for anything you are fobbed off, nobody wants to help you, although the staff were very nice and polite. Food not as good as last time we stayed here, standards have defiantly dropped. First room were we allocated overlooked the garden, thought this was lovely until we went back on the first night only to find a very loud thumping disco going on at the casino until 4am in the morning, didn't get a bit of sleep, we were moved the next day. Did complain to Jet 2 who we had booked with, but they were not very helpful at all.

These apartments are in a good area, distance wise from the town, walkable and on a good bus route. We stayed on the top floor on the Sea facing side of the block overlooking the pool. It is on a very busy main road so this side a slightly quieter. The street behind the block, shown on the picture has a brilliant little shop called 'Peter's' close by which we used a lot, plus further along the street lots of restaurants and other shops. Also lots on the main road, both sides. The hotel staff here were all brilliant and very helpful and friendly. The room spacious and spotless, small balcony but has a table and 2 chairs which we ate at. The small kitchen area has One powerful electric ring and a combo microwave. We couldn't work out how to use the grill and oven in it though, no instruction book. Equipment minimal but doable. I asked for 2 large dining plates as only 3 side plates, 3 cups and bowls plus tumblers. I had taken a wooden spoon, sharp knife, peeler and tongues which helped, also a tea towel. Small sponge and dishcloth provided with a very small washing up liquid provided but this could be refilled by the cleaners. We cooked quite a lot just had to plan it. Used the large supermarkets in town for meat, fish etc. The pool here was small but good. And sun loungers good and some sheltered. The trees are more grown than on the picture shown. We went to the main hotel to sunbath, lots of areas to choose from. My only problem was I could not book a spa treatment in the main hotel. No staff on the Spa centre desk, had to do it on-line using the QR code which proved a problem. Must have spent about 3 hours on and off then gave up. the main hotel staff told me to use the QR Code. Spent a really enjoyable 2 weeks here.

I loved the people who worked there. Especially Jolanda, she was very helpfull. Also the breakfast was allright. If you dont eat pork then you will eat the same things. It would be better if they also provide chicken or something else. The only thing that dissapointed us was the room. The floor in the hallway was dirty. The room was dusty. We asked for another one but i think its dusty because of the floor. They clean your room every day, but the pillow sheets nor the bead werent always clean. The curtains were also dusty. The hotel is on a good location in Funchal. We had a nice stay, just the dusty was not so nice. It had a smell because of the dustyness.
