Decent
We only stayed here because our flight was canceled last minute and it was the only thing decent that was available. It was nothing special. The rooms were very old but clean enough. The breakfast was very average. The location was pretty good about 15 min walk to old town Funchal. The people working there were super nice and friendly. The view of the city when sitting on the terrace or breakfast room was the best part! Our room unfortunately had a view of another part of the building so we had no view at all. The wifi didn’t work in the rooms which I thought was very weird, they definitely need to fix that.

I have stayed at the Monte Carlo for over 20 years and they have always looked after my needs with great care and compassion. The hotel is set in a wonderful position in the town ( not the soulless hotel zone) overlooking the sea and mountains. It’s a period hotel, with tremendous charm with a pool on the roof at a certain price point. We visited in April 2024 and the staff were fabulous and the stay in Madeira a joy. The Monte Carlo is a period gem, but not a modern chain hotel. If you want a slice of Madeira stay.. close if steep walk to the whole town, museums and restaurants. 24 hour desk, limited parking ( but parking in the area) simple bu cheep breakfast, comfortable and large period rooms. Like Madeira itself charming, quirky and old school.

Complete disappointment. Website is not repsentative of reality. No air conditioning, no fans, no fridge, no ice machine, no hair dryer, no safe. You need to ask to borrow a dryer. You need to leave your room and car keys with the front desk when you leave. We had to pay 2 euros for a few pieces of ice. They also added a charge of 2 euros for used mismatched plastic cups. Everything was outdated and in weathered condition. The ceiling in our room was patched with paper and masking tape. There is NO swim up bar as per website. The pool had green algae all around. TV was outdated. Wifi was only available in front lobby. Red carpet in main stairs was used and faded. There was supposed to be music from 4pm until midnight. We barely heard anything and the sound system was also outdated. We were supposed to stay for 4 nights but left the next day.

Lovely old hotel. Interior a bit outdated but that also adds to its charm. The only thing that I didn’t like was a breakfast, basic and with unacceptable dirty plates, cups and cutlery. After two days just skipped it and had it in some of nice pastelarias in town.

The building was constructed in 1905 and has gone through a number of transformations. The most recent owners have done a great job of upgrading while maintaining it's charm and character. A few very miner deficiences, but I would not hesitate to return.

The bathroom was so outdated and water leaked onto the floor tiles from somewhere, not badly, but enough to make your feet wet. The view from the window was the roof swimming pool wall with a bit of a view above. Only stayed 2 nights otherwise would have moved. The overal building is old and decor shabby but interesting and the staff very polite and on hand. The terrace was lovely.

Historic 1905 Hotel with cozy rooms , captivating
I really enjoyed the 1905 beautiful MONTE CARLO HOTEL building, it has breathtaking, captivating view of the city. Pool on the roof. One could sit on the roof all day & enjoy captivating 180° view of the city, the bay, ocean, mountains. Pedro & Albino were very well mannered, cordial, helpful, kind people. My room was nice size, with spacious bathroom, it had a shower & a bath. It's 5 minutes walk to city center, the beach, old town, airport bus stop. Architecture around, walking towards hotel, or from, was also captivating, many beautiful, historical buildings. It also has a big space at the front entrance to the hotel, were one could sit, relax & enjoy the captivating view. There is a library, a lounge are on the 1st floor, it's really wonderful, relaxing, cozy. Am so glad & grateful to the owner for having me there, I enjoyed the breakfast/ lunch serv d by Albino, he was kind & caring person, cappuccino was delicious, can't wait to return & recommend it to fellow travelers. Thank you Albino & Pedro, Muito Obrigado ❤️🙏

Fine place but odd rules and bad service
Hotel itself is basic and dated but a pleasant walk from the centre and great views. Service was such that I'd never stay again though. Apon arriving around 9.30pm (says 24 hrs online) I entered by pushing a door with a green go sign on it and a staff member angrily asked me how i got in, implying I'd broken in and not just walked in. I explained I'd just opened the door which was recieved with further hostility. Then she said she'd take my passport, put it away and walked me to a room. I asked how long she'd have my passport for and she wouldn't say, but i pressed her on it and she eventually said 10 mins. Then, she left - an hour passes and she still hasn't returned my passport, so i find my way back to reception in another building and get it back from her. I check my booking and find that I've not been put in the room i paid for but a far smaller one with no patio and a cold shower. The next day this is fixed by a more professional member of staff, who tries to take my key off me and i say i'd rather keep it so I don't have to call in to reception in case that woman is there. she agrees. later, woman from first night chases me down the drive to take the key off me "because it's hotel policy". She didn't care that it had been okayed by someone above her, and in the end, i tired of her constant bullying and gave it to her because she wouldn't stop. I never asked why she put me in the wrong room, and she never acknowledged it. Bizarre.

Nice stay.
All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful! Very clean rooms. Looks a lot more modern in the photos than in real life. Amazing veiws from the outside areas. If you need to leave before 8am, you need to let them know as the front door and gate is locked. They tell you how to get out, but I couldnt figure out how to get out of the gate so had to chuck all my stuff over a wall and climb over as had to get to my ferry!

Old hotel full of character.
Old hotel full of character so don't expect a modern all glass and steel soulless building. Lots of history, rooms are large clean, staff friendly and willing to help. Its a 3 star hotel so don't expect 5 star, it is what it is and has everything you need.
