hotel Sirius is right in the heart of Funchal, so everything we needed to see or walk to was super close. Our room was clean, veranda was spacious. Breakfast was simple, and that was all we needed for the start of the day :). We are very happy with our accommodation choice.

Old world charm throughout. Had a Pool at the older part of the hotel as well as easy access to a second newer part of the hotel with large oceanfront beach pool/ bar/restaurant right beside it. Pool attendant was quick to get us towels, set up umbrellas and make sure we had everything. Had a decent amount of parking for downtown location. Sandwiched between two hop on hop off bus stops within 5 min walk so handy for sight seeing Funchal. Nice balcony with table and chairs to sit on and enjoy the garden and ocean views. Lots of restaurants all within 5 minute walk and harbor front/marina just a couple minutes walk..staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast that was included was a buffet with a really nice selection of foods. Stocked fridge /minibar in room was handy.

This older hotel is superbly placed in centre of town making access to Cableway, Marina, restaurants & bars and shopping very easy. Excellent well stocked and good selection of eats at breakfast. Our room was large and very clean and we had access to two separate balconies and a lounge. A taxi rank is opposite the hotel and a block away are the bus stops.

Spacious room, modern bathroom, comfortable bed. Near from the center of Funchal when you have a car (less than 10 minutes).
There is a parking for the car, very useful in Funchal (8€/jour)

Uphill there is nice small bar/restourant of local food. You need cash there to pay. Good not expensive national food, especialy tasty local vine. Local people do not speak English, even in restourant, but friendly and warm. Very good place to stay for hiking,

The staff were extremely helpful to make special arrangements for us The rooms and view unbelievable!!
I am not sure if it was at the hotel we contacted a vomitting virus but as soon as we got home we had it for several days. I guess this is very infectious and difficult to control

Curral das ferreiras is very quiet, peacefully and tourist friendly.Ideally if you want the quiet after a day from touring the Island . Definitely you need a car to travel to other places in the Island . We stayed there 3 nights of our holiday that was perfect.

Curral das Freiras has breathtaking mountain views and i would highly recommend staying over one or two nights to do some hikes. We hiked from our accommodation in Curral das Freiras to Pico Rivo and then to Pico Arieiro (and then back to Curral das Freiras). This was quite a long and tough hike (with massive elevation gain), but well worth it. For a shorter hike you can either stop at Pico Arieiro (19km in total) or just do peak to peak which is 5.6km (although I am not sure if Pico Rivo can be reached by car so you might have to do the walk back to Pico Arieiro as well which makes it 11.2km in total and you'll average 3km an hour.

This is a wonderful place especially for the price. The location is stunning, the rooms are very well cleaned, staff is friendly, and the all around atmosphere is just very relaxing and special. Very nice dining room and swimming pool. The hotel is a bit older but efforts have been made to bring the room up to modern standards, such as a big tv and a lovely walk-in shower. I can think of some little things that could be improved (to really bring up the standard to top notch) but that would likely also bring the price up and out of my range.
The apartman is very well situated in the middle of village named Curral das Freiras. The whole building is after full reconstruction and therefore the apartman is equiped with the latest modern style furniture and electric devices. We lived on the second floor. I would recommend this apartman for families with enthusiast hikers because it's reallly great starting point. Mrs. Isabel is very polite and she helped me with all my quires. Thank you!
The house is big and spatious, there are two terraces, it has a wonderful view over the valley, and it's in a very calm area. That is all worth driving up there to Curral das Freiras every day (around 25 mins from Funchal). It is also fully equipped, there's probably anything you might need. The owner is very kind and helpful she responds very fast. We would definitely come there again !
This is our second visit to this hotel. This time hotel looks very dated, in need of face lift, refurbishment. Looks like nobody really cares, no feedback form, no complimentary water in a room, no mini bar, dated pool, dead, dusty flowers around the hotel, uneven, creeky floor. It looks and feels old and unloved. If not for restaurant our experience would be very sad.
The hotel has an absolutely stunning location. We were given a very beautiful room with wonderful woodwork and furniture. However, the gentleman at the reception in the evening was a bit awkward. Also, we were quite sad to see that the SPA and pool are only open 10-19:00 which meant we completely missed it. The hotel is perched on a rock and definitely worth a visit.
It is a new building, located in Curral das Freiras, very nice valley with the view of the mountains and good weather almost all the time. Restaurant ls are around, and you can start very interesting hikes from here. You can even go walking to Pico Ruivo.
The owners are very responsive, we had a problem with hot water, and they acted quickly.
Amazing view, lovely swimming pool area, spacious room, the view from the hotel restaurant in the evening is breathtaking, the clouds are just below you. Remote location, but if you driving, it's totally fine. Not sure why other people are complaining about the location, don't you check where the hotel is located before you book?
Great location with excellent views. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Onsite restaurant was also really good. Overall a great base for exploring the mountains. I have seen some reviews complaining about facilities - yes it's not a 5 star luxury hotel but you arent paying those prices. Would certainly stay again
The mountain location cannot be beat. The views are great. The hotel is directly beside the hiking trail down to the village. I was able to reach the hotel by public bus. I was upgraded to a large family room with four beds. The dining room has good chestnut pudding.
I liked the stunning location, overall cleanliness of the rooms, friendly and helpful staff and waiters. I am merely stating my negative impressions so the hotel can improve but I will say that overall I had a nice stay at this hotel and would most definitely return
The amazing view to the valley and the fantastic viewpoint next to the hotel. There was a big flat screen Tv in the room with a lot of channels. Good wi-fi connection, and huge, comfy pillows and bad. The cleanliness and the amenities of bathroom was excellent.
This is the perfect apartment to use as a hiking base for the Valley of Nuns (Curral das Freiras) and surrounding mountains. Apartment is fairly basic but has everything needed and was so perfectly situated. We would definitely book this apartment again.
The location and the view are amazing... perfect if you want to hike or run around Curral das Freiras. The apartment is perfect for a family. The hosts were helpful.
Very spacious apartment (too big for me as a solo traveller, but it was the cheapest hotel left). Well equipped and comfortable. The host was very friendly.
