Hotel Gordon

An absolute gem! Fabulous location in a quiet area of Funchal with a unique family run personal feel. Beautiful historic building, well maintained & immaculately clean with fabulous courtyard garden for breakfast. Thankyou to all who work so hard here to provide this special accommodation. We will be back!

Positively surprised! Very good + Well maintained Heritage Bedroom + located in the middle of Funchal City. The beach promenade is very close and everywhere can be reached on foot. Hotel service friendly & nice. Visit again probably YES.

Bed was chipboard and rock hard, the pictures and description are not accurate, there is no terrace, our bathroom was down the hall, no tea and coffee making facilities etc. it’s a very charming building but even in a short budget the beds were dire and no air con. Think twice. The location is excellent however. Bit the hill to the hotel is cobbled street that are sharp as is the road.

For the price it was good, nice breakfast,nice big rolls,cheese/ham and jam, a yogurt or banana and tea and coffee, very quiet in dining room while everyone's eating,,would be nice to have some music very low in the background Everywhere was very clean. This room had a shower not a bath which was nice. Would be nice to have a picture maybe in the room and some nice colourful pictures about to brighten the place up as it as a bit dark (lovely restaurant called Trigal just round the corner ) It was a nice stay and right near the centre!

Location, location, location! Down a small side street close to a pedestrian main street full of bars and restaurants. Big supermarket just round the corner for those essentials like bottles of water and possibly wine (mainly wine, to be fair). The hotel is very traditional with hardwood floors to die for that would be tens of thousands of euros to replace. The team running the operation are charming, and so very helpful. Breakfast was relaxed, served to you and always very fresh, and the hotel staff were always quick to offer you more food and coffee during your meal. Walled rear garden was available for breakfast too. We used the garden one afternoon to socialise over a bottle and catch up on our day. Found out at that point they have a gated car park, we didn't need it, you might. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Enjoyed every minute

This is a quaint, traditional hotel, in a perfect location for exploring Funchal. The rooms are basic but adequate, and extremely clean. The breakfast was lovely, rolls with ham and cheese, jam, yogurt and as much coffee as we wanted. Although we ate in the dining room, there was also a small outside patio area where we could have eaten if we wanted to. The owner is extremely accommodating and went out of her way to ensure that we had a fantastic stay. If you are looking for a centrally located budget hotel, then this is ideal.

What's good: Very centrally located - minutes walk to the sea front and the La Vie shopping centre which houses a large supermarket and some good value eateries - great for water, breakfast items and fruit. The hotel itself is in good condition and very clean. It's in a cul-de-sac with no car or foot traffic really either. Good to know: The hotel is fairly basic in what it offers and the decor is quaint/outdated. There were only two plug points on my room - one was very inaccessible. Bring an multi adaptor! My room did not have a fan or AC. The bathtoom situation was slightly depressing: no shampoo or hairdryer. The units were avocado. The shower situation was a small square pan with a shower curtain and a shower that was hard to calibrate for temperature or hold still in the bracket. The bed was very firm. Bounce a penny off it, firm. If I'd known this all in advance I probably still would have stayed for my 3 nights - but been better prepared. I wouldn't have chosen this hotel for a longer stay. The hosts were very nice but spoke little English.

Für jemanden wie mich, der tagsüber sowieso die ganze Zeit weg ist, ist es ein ausreichend guter Platz. Sehr nah an meiner Tauchbasis, sehr nah an der Altstadt. Abzüge gibts dafür, dass dort niemand englisch spricht und für meine alte Matratze bei der ich die Federn sehr genau spüren konnte. Aber ausreichend sauber, schöne Aussicht. Wer allerdings auf Luxuszimmer und moderne Einrichtung aus ist, ist hier falsch
