This hotel is an historical building with quite beautiful architecture. However it lacks many amenities of newer hotels such as AC, hair dryers and a fridge. The rooms and furnishings are very dated but fit into the character of the building. The area is quiet and not touristy which is nice for those who prefer this. We only ate in the restaurant for breakfast and it was pretty good. We did find ants in our room but the employees were very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable in another room.

Retro wibes with stunning wiews

Charming hotel, quite central and wibes of the 60-ts jetset so a bit dated, but clean an familiar. The wievs are the best, the negatives are the hard beds and no ac. Lovely little rooftop pool. Walk down to center or old town and take a taxi home, easy and cheep if you dont want to climb the hill up...

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.

Long weekend in Madeira

Lovely weekend at Monte Carlo hotel, for flower festival and hiking. Marcia on reception was very helpful and polite with advice. Steep walk up to hotel but lovely views from terrace and hotel once there. Would stay again. Thanks

Part of another era

The charm of the building, the location and the rooftop pool compensate all small downsides.

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 facade looks nice and charming in the outside but the property and rooms look more like a hostel. No air conditioned, worn carpets, nothing like the pictures.

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 Interior a bit outdated but that also adds to its charm.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 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.

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.

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 ❤️🙏
