Simple Breakfast, but more than adequate (buffet). Location is the main selling point, as puts you right at the front adjacent to the promenade. Walking distance to the Mercado dos Lavradores (Farmers' Market) and old town, Cable Cars and CR7 museum. There is a market right outside for essentials. The building has no lift and some rooms are without windows bu sdo all have Air conditioning. This is the second time I've stayed here and would stay again.

Zarco b&b is an affordable place to stay in central Funchal. For the price, we were not expecting frills, and there certainly were none. It is a very basic hotel. The breakfast each day was really good value, with a wide selection of continental breakfast foods, including freshly baked croissants and cakes, and lots of fresh fruit. They even offer to make you a packed breakfast to order if you need to leave early before the breakfast service begins. The room itself was basic but clean and did the job. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially the man who works evenings. The hotel is situated right in central Funchal on a bustling street, which can be very noisy at night. I would definitely bring ear plugs! Getting around Funchal from there is super easy though, and all the major sights in central Funchal are less than a 10 minute walk away so it is super convenient. There is also a really good car park nearby if you are renting a car (Almirante Reis car park). Overall I would highly recommend this b&b if you are looking for something cheap and basic with a good breakfast included, and if you don’t plan to be in the hotel much.

Go elsewhere

The ONLY positives about this place is the location and the breakfast is ok. The beds are horrible. Like sleeping on cardboard with one single flat pillow. You have to shuffle along the wall to get to the other side of the room because the room is so small the bed takes up the entire room. We went to the desk to request more pillows, to which she replied we could have some tomorrow but not tonight. Well, we never got them. The receptionists were all less than friendly as well. And the hotel is very stingy with towels?

Great hospitality. Perfect for our one night stay. We woke up to catch the sunrise at pico da ariero and the gentleman working the desk was there to greet us before we left at 5:30am, with a breakfast for the road. Smaller rooms with a bit of an echo from the courtyard/hallways but would definitely recommend. Not to mention Zarco is in a great spot.

I enjoyed my stay at Zarco very much. The room was very comfortable and renovated with beautiful linens and a great bathroom. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet is outstanding with pastries, fruit, eggs, deli meats and cheeses and excellent juice and coffee. It’s also very well located walking distance to the historic area, the marina and beach promenade and great cafes and shopping. My only complaint is the street noise since my room overlooked the busy square below with a cafe open until 2:00am and lots of noisy people. I would happily stay there again but ask for an interior room. Be aware that you have to walk up 16 stairs to enter the reception area. I was lucky that some charming guests helped carry my large rolling suitcase up the stairs! Overall an excellent value and charming place to stay in Madeira.
