Terrace Mar Suite Hotel

Das Terasma Suite Hotel in Funchal, Portugal, beeindruckt trotz seiner geringen Größe mit einer ausgezeichneten Lage. Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, und der Rooftop-Pool bietet eine angenehme Entspannung. Das Frühstück besticht durch eine Vielzahl von Früchten, allerdings könnte der im Keller gelegene Frühstücksraum die Atmosphäre etwas trüben. Insgesamt erhält das Hotel eine solide Bewertung von 8 von 10 Punkten.

Perfectly clean, comfortable and well-equipped for our four day stay. We upgraded to a superior studio which gave us a bit more space, and more importantly, a room on the fourth floor with a balcony nicely elevated above the road. There was also a balcony across the corridor from our front door which had the sun in the late afternoon. Everything worked, was in good order and the room was cleaned every day. The hotel is too far out to walk regularly to Funchal city centre, but the bus service is excellent and the 1, 2, 4 and 5a services get you into the centre in around 10 minutes from a stop on the main road less than 100 yards away - never had to wait more than five minutes. Rooftop pool has an honesty bar for beers and ice creams. Saltwater pool is heated along with the jacuzzi which are a pleasant addition outside peak season. If you have a hire car you can rent a spot in the underground car park but this is very, very tight (both access to the car park and manoeuvring into spaces within which require advanced parking skills!). However this is possibly a better option than on-street parking which is all metred and is frequently patrolled.

The hotel is in a great location, the apartment/room was perfect with a great view. Reception staff were always helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend the lady at breakfast each morning highly enough - she was the most friendly welcoming person, always a pleasure to say hello in the morning. The breakfast is vast lots of fresh fruit, meat and cheeses, cereals, pastries and hot food and also plenty additionally cooked to order if you require. The pool area is lovely and clean, located on the roof with a very relaxed vibe. About a 25 minute walk into the old town of Funchal, lots of great places to eat nearby the hotel. Only downside, it is next to a road. It is not excessively busy but you can expect some traffic noise but this did not disturb us in any way.
