I couldn’t recommend Zarco B&B enough! I stayed for a solo trip and it was perfect. The location is amazing - right on the marina waterfront in close proximity to shops, bars, restaurants - and taxis/tours are very happy to pick you up right outside. I felt very safe at all times and the 24 hour reception really helped with this (you can come and go as you please at any time). The rooms were clean and comfortable (with regular cleans during my 4-night stay). The staff were all so friendly; I needed some assistance with my room at one point and maintenance sorted it straight away. The gentleman on reception sent me off with a parcel of cakes as I was leaving before breakfast for my hike! The breakfast spread was a highlight - lots of choice and replenished well. I often woke to the smell of fresh bread! There are water dispensers for filling bottles and coffee machines too. Will definitely be back :)

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.
