This was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our trip; so much so that we returned for a few days after our trip around the island. Very clean, large, airy rooms, a nice little terrace out back.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, ad it was easy to access at all hours, which was useful what with it being close to an inviting nightlife- very convenient for the old town's restaurants and bars, and a short walk from the town centre. Would definitely visit again, thanks for a great holiday!

This small hotel/guesthouse offers comfort, cleanliness, service and location by the score. If you seek sea view with balcony, pool side bar and activities, 24 hr room service, etc, this is not for you. We stayed last week for five nights - made to feel welcome, top floor suite spacious and comfortable and location par excellence. Two minutes level walk to centre of town and seafront, surrounded by good value old-town restaurants and bakery next door. How good can it get? Serious quality and value for money! Staff were most helpful during last weekend's storm. Breakfast is adequate and only downside was cock crowing from adjacent property in the morning. Cannot praise hotel or staff highly enough. Would not consider staying anywhere else.

Stayed at the residencial mariazinha for 9 days. Previously been to Madiera twice before stayed once in the hotle zone and once at the Hotel Windsor in Funchal town.

More like a guest house than hotel (the front desk isn't always occupied). We arrived after 9pm but were welcolmed and shown to the suite on the 3rd floor. No lifts so wouldn't be suitable for the old or infirm. Pleasantly surprised by the size of the accomodation (the bathroom with jacuzzi was alomost as big as the room!

Twin beds pushed together rather than a double bed but for all that comfortable. Seperate "living ares" with sofa and chairs with satelite TV. Efficient air conditioning but almost french doors opening onto to small balcony.

Located within a stones throw of numerous restaurants which was handy in the evening. Also 5 mins walk from the cable car and 10/15 mins form the centre of town.

Certainly for the price you wouldn't find a more conveniently located place to stay on the island.

Would definately go back if visiting the island again.

I absolutely loved my time at Residencial Mariazinha. It was the best place I stayed on my whole trip. The interior was tastefully decorated, with elegantly dark wood and curving staircases, and the room was quiet and peaceful. Everything was sparkling clean. The breakfast was also very good, with plenty of food to munch on while browsing maps for the day's adventure. The staff was also very cheerful and helpful, and the location central and yet calm. Would love to go back!
