Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
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

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!

This is more a B&B than a holiday hotel and ideally placed for walking down into Funchal.
The rooms we had were clean and spacious. There isn't a view as such but we did have a small balcony onto the street. It is on a small side street and there is little noise from traffic.The ensuite was small but clean and functional. Lots of hot water in the shower.
the breakfast for 3€ was a bargain. simple bread roll, slice of cheese and Ham, butter, jam, coffee, banana and a glass of Orange. All cheap components but good value if you are on a budget.

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.

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!

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.

The Gordon is a very simple Residencial, with rather dark hallways and somber furniture, but it was fantastically quiet due to its location near the English Church. Yet it was only a short walk to the busiest parts of downtown Funchal, making the location excellent. At only 30 Euros a night it was also good value. The rooms had large windows with pretty views, and when the sun shone in it became wonderfully cheery. One note, however, is the included breakfast. It consisted of a cup of tea and a bread roll, so a snack might be an appropriate term.

Lovely, clean, double room on the top floor of a characterful house. Breakfast was the highlight with delicious coffee with pot of hot milk, fresh rolls, ham, cheese, orange juice, yoghurt and occasionally fresh fruit in the lovely terrace garden with amazing views. Serviced by two lovely, friendly ladies. Excellent location to explore Funchal from. Only a note that it is a short walk up a steep stone street, so wouldn't recommend it for people with difficulties walking. Definitely would like to stay here again.
