The self-catering hotel is ideally situated next to the Casino and close to the port and town centre. There are regular buses into and out of town on the main road nearby, and plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. Our apartment was on the top (3rd) floor. There is a sun terrace and pool on the roof, and a... More

We stayed at the Aparthotel Imperatriz twice and their receptionists remembered us straight away when we came back for the second time. Two of their staffs, Duarte and Victor are very friendly, helpful and can speak very good English. This hotel is in a good location, only about 15-20 mins walk to the centre compare to the other hotels in... More

Hotel ideally situated just 7 mins. walk into Funchal. We had a top floor, side view apartment which was lucky as the front is noisy with traffic and bars and the back has no sun. We had a good sized balcony that was sheltered. Bedroom was large and cleaned daily. Staff were very friendly. Cooking facilites are limited. Two solid... More

Dont expect a five star hotel, but it is a good hotel for what we paid. The pool area is simple. The location is good for walking and a few bars nearby with free wifi. Lovely restaurants nearby. Could cook in room as well. Downsides...Ladies take your own hairdryer. They only have 1 to share, so had to ask for... More

The location of the hotel is excellent for local transport and a 10 minute walk into the centre of Funchal. The hotel itself is very clean and the rooms are... More

The hotel is located next door to a pub, and just up the road from a casino. They are located on a secondary road but people use it as a parking alley for the casino. I believe if you get a room without a view that the hotel would be perfect for your stay. But if you do get a... More

My wife and I have just got back from a very pleasant week at the Aparthotel Imperatriz. The booking was a fairly "last minute" affair as we both managed to get the same week off work, and thus the budget was quite tight. We Hired a car at the Airport for the week and drove the 18Kms to Funchal. We... More

Staff are friendly, location is very good. Parking in their underground car park is a nightmare & is impossible on the streets. The hotel was exceptionally clean but the bedrooms & bathrooms although large are in serious need of a revamp. Breakfast was very basic. Coffee and hot milk from thermos flasks and a choice of rolls or rolls (... More
