De accommodatie zeer dichtbij vliegveld, schoon. Super mooie uitzicht aan zee, zeer rustig lekker om uit te rusten.
Voor die prijs is het prima

Czystość w pokoju. Ręczniki wymieniane praktycznie codziennie.
Z pokoju 18 widok na parking, czyli smród spalin i hałas. Jedno gniazdko 230V w pokoju. Brak jakiegokolwiek stolika. Brak jakiegokolwiek wyposażenia typu czajnik, suszarka do włosów, talerz, szklanka, sztućce. Nic - ZERO !!! Banalnie prosty kod do drzwi. Oprócz przemiłych pań sprzątających rano pokoje, brak kogokolwiek w recepcji.

Viskas neblogai, kaip už tokią kainą. Vieta gera jeigu su automobiliu, pėsčiomis visada į kalną.
Viskas gana gerai, kaina atitinka kokybę. Ilgesniam laikui nesinorėtų, kambarys tamsus, truputį tvanku.

I arrived there, and the guy who attend me was very arrogant and inpolite, he told me the place was "overbooked" and I should go another place in another town 1 hour and 30 minutes walking distance from the location I booked. The guy told me to pay 3 times at that very moment while I was freaking out about that, I find amazing he booked the room I booked several days before and that he even didn't contact me before to ask if I was ok with that.
Of course I didn't pay and after searching the location of the new place I told him I was not staying at his place and not paying, it was a totally unfair situation. They guy threaten me about charging the price even if not staying and I reported the situation to booking.com and they charged me the night, I find that point amazing also. Why to use booking.com if not receiving basic support against scammers like that?
It's amazing how arrogant and mean can someone be, and how they think all the people it's going to accept everthing they say because you are in a weaker situation than them, I find his behaviour really abusive. Maybe I had to sleep in the street that night but I didn't accept that unfair situation, hope more people is not accepting these kind of things for making the guy stop treating the guests like that.

I don't understand why people complained so much. Great value for money, not far from the airport, green surroundings, and quiet. It's a great option if you have an early morning/late night departure or arrival. Getting a cab to Funchal will cost you 40-50 euro and Bolt drivers are likely to abandon your request late/early.

Great view of the airport!
Very steep hills and no facilities close by. A car is essential!

In Tanzania would be maybe good. In Madeira is staing throu the night in airport better solution than this hard, dirty bed without any blanket. Only warm water but in unccaptable shower is the difference.

DO NOT BOOK THIS “HOTEL”! We booked this for one night only because of its close location to the airport and the price. But it is NOT worth it. I’m not the type of person to leave a bad review behind but not warning people about this establishment would be irresponsible. Offering a room like we had been is straight up disrespectful.
To sum up some of the flaws of this place:
1. It’s dirty. Bed, floor, walls, maybe even the ceilings (we did not check). The “hotel” was covered in cobwebs (the rooms and the hallways included). Smoking residues on the walls, wine (or blood) stains on the carpet (could be anything we don’t know what it was). Add all of this with the fact that we found some hair and make-up stains on the pillows.
2. Zero maintenance. All the wooden furniture has been damaged by termites. The inside of the shower was covered in rust (the shower floor and soap holder included). I can only imagine what could’ve happened when someone cuts their toes on one of these areas.
The only positive thing I could thing about during this whole ordeal was the lady at the reception, she was nice.

There was a bar close by
The service was not existent. The transfer to the airport was very pricey, 15 euros for a five minute ride. False information about transfer when checking in. The beds were squeaky and not comfortable and the bathroom was outdated and not completely clean. We departed early in the morning and it was not possible to receive some kind of breakfast for takeaway. All in all, communication was very poor and the 24h reception was not a 24h reception. The hotel is located on a steep hill with no supermarket close by and the restaurant was not open without any sign when it would open or not. Okay for a night or after a flight, but really not much more

The view only
The landlords of the property are rude with the tourists as they are shouting and verbally aggressive with them. They are not allowing you to have abit of fun or laugh as they will immediately will call you to be quiet at 9pm. Moreover, the place is disgusting and the level of cleaning is very poor. The indoors smell is awful due to old fashion furniture and the bathroom looks horrible. Lots of mosquitos in the bedroom. To get to the property by bus is very difficult as is placed on a hill where you don't have any connection to the public transports. If you put in your requests that you need a hairdryer or an iron they won't provide you with anything and if you will ask them they will get frustrated. I highly don't recommend this place.

The booking went smoothly.
My husband's flight was delayed, so he was unable to use this booking. Despite two requests for even a partial refund, there was not even a reply from AL Moniz. He is a regular traveller through Funchal and this could have been a frequent stay for him, but he won't use them again.

It's close to the airport and the hire car place, my plane got in fairly late and I needed to pick car the following morning, so it made sense to get some where reasonably priced and crash. Staff very friendly and helpful. Despite age and quality of the property which is a bit poor, it was clean.
Room is very tired, there were creepy crawleys on the walls and insects flying about all night actually kept me up. I mean, you can't keep out flying insects but the creepy crawleys are gross, I think they were cockroaches, but I couldn't really identify. The room is tired, walls cracked, carpets with bald patches and stains. The bathrooms are also in a poor state of repair with things falling off, cracked tiles and stains etc. To be expected for the price I guess, but just being honest about the condition.

Magnificent view, very nice location with the view on airport, ocean, Canary Islands. The dining room was also very atmospheric. Reception is open all time long which was very convenient considering our flight itinerary
Breakfast was too simple, but in the very nice surroundings.
