My wife and I just comeback from a short break in Funchal we stayed for two nights at the Monte Carlo Hotel, we did not pay much so we were not expecting a 5 stars but a list i was expecting a clean room. Amd when checked Tripadvisor there was some bad comments but there was also a comment from... More

We stayed in the hotel in june 2011 and had a great time. For us the hotel was just right; quiet, away from the rush of the main tourist crowd, great views and very relaxing. Its true the hotel at the time could have doen with a little touch up - the pool wasnt heated but it was clean and... More

I stayed at the Monter Carlo for 1 week and it was my first trip to Madeira. What a magnificent island. I really felll in love with Madeira and have already booked a new trip. I had a stunning view from my room overlooking the city and the sea. The Monte Carlo is situated with walking distance downhill to centre... More

I stayed in this hotel about 30 years ago, it's difficult to describe the sort of person who should stay at this place, if you don't mind climbing a steep hill, you don't like big hotels and want to be a bit different this is for you, it's not expensive , the staff are friendly and helpfull, some of the...

We stayed at Monte Carlo for 3 nights over New Year 2012. We have been travelling around Madeira for nearly 2 weeks and stayed in 4 different hotels (2 in Funchal & 2 others in Serra de Agua and Jardin do Mar).

Our family spent New Year's Eve at this hotel. It has the most amazing view of their famous fireworks display. We couldn't have asked for a better view! The hotel staff was most accomodating and the hotel was like stepping back in time to the grand age of elegance.

just spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks, fabulous views, old fashioned style, in walking distance to the old and new parts of town, a bit of a climb back, but once there the views were amazing, had a good room (30) with clean beds and towels, lovely staff, would go again

Take a" vue sur mer" room and enjoy it ! Enjoy the swimming pool on the top. It is a very little walk from the center, the service is kind, coffee not to good but you can take the breakfast on the terrace. Good value but you have to like old fashion style

Was advised that if I didn't like the room I'd been allocated then for another 7 euros a night I could have another room overlooking the harbour. When shown my room understood the reasoning.The room smelt musty, had... More
