Detailed Reviews
We were a bit suprised when we arrived that there was no one around in the afternoon to let us in to the building ,but received an WhatsApp video to show us how to get in .We could not open it because no wi fi on our phone package .Luckily for us a kind gentleman phoned the number we had been sent and they explained on the phone how to get in .
Our rooms were lovely ,bright and so clean ! Staff the following morning could not have been more helpful ,in all it as a very good stay .
However the only thing that stopped it from being perfect was the breakfast ! The nice touch of free Maderia cake and small bottle of wine in room was appreciated ,but I think it would be better to spend money on a better quality of hams and cheeses at breakfast and the addition of tomato,peppers ,cucumbers !
But don’t let that put you off because it really is lovely place to stay !!

We had booked via booking.com and cancelled without sufficient notice. Still, we got all our money back. At the second attempt (the quarantine rules had changed, again), we called up Sao Fancisco directly and booked a room. For this, we got some extra discount. The location is superb, the breakfast nice for this type of small hotel.

Great modern accommodation in the heart of Funchal within walking distance to all the attractions.
Helpful and friendly staff who are only too pleased to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Clean and comfortable rooms with AC a fridge and safe. Located in a quiet part of the old Town. Breakfast was plentiful with a choice of cereals, fruit, cheeses and meats.

Staying here currently and very happy with our choice. Lovely welcome at reception, very helpful and friendly. Beautiful room, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, fridge and tea making facility supplied. Great wifi, modem in room, safe at extra cost, great shower too. Staying on first floor and although on street side the Windows block out all noise so a good nights sleep is guaranteed. Would definitely stay here again. Very central to everything.

This accomodation is just around the corner of the park on walking distance (2 min) of the bus, tourist information, shopping malls & excellent restaurants. Despite the location is in a quiet patch everything you can wish for is just around the corner. For a week I went to pick up fresh bread and coffee in the morning and have breakfast at my balcony looking at the mountains of Monte and small part of the ocean. I can highly recommend to spend EUR 5 per night more and have the room with the balcony. The room was very new and was well set-up. The staff is not on-site, but very friendly and helpful. They arranged everything I needed and got immediate response through Whats App.They will also come to the place, if you need them in person (and they welcome and wave you out in person). It's the little Madeira touches (like cookies) which make it personal.

Staying here at the moment ..... as stated in previous reviews the apartments are central and have been extensively upgraded recently. There is a chargeable safe - 2 euros per day- wifi is free and probably the best we have had in all of our travels ... hi spec tv , very comfortable bed and a very good quality bathroom ..... could do with a bigger rubbish bin but that is minor detail ..... towels changed daily ... could do with other power points as most travellers have gadgets to charge .... there is building work going on during weekday afternoons ( stops at 5pm ) but it is due to finish shortly ... would we recommend it? Yes ( without the building work )

On a 7 day stay in Madeira the Sao Francisco location was perfect, located right in the centre of Funchal, with places for breakfast across the road in a small shopping centre. The rooms were newly decorated, clean, bright and modern. Towels were changed every day and a nice touch to provide Maderian wine and cake on our arrival. Staff were helpful and there will soon be a restuarant downstairs which is near completion. All in all it couldn't be bettered and excellent value for the money.

We have stayed in Sao Fracisco Accomodation for the 8 nights and truly saiyng there is nothing to complain about - good price for such standard (new, not used rooms! Our room looked exactly like on photos), nice stuff, room cleaned everyday and additional facilites such as fridge in room, tv, electric kettle (with free coffe and tea), water and cookies delivered everyday...
Moreover hotel is located in the very center of Funchal, near to very good restaurant, car rental office and many more. Free wifi.
If you want to visit Madera and stay in Funchal - Sao Francisco Accomadation is the best possible option and Joana is the best possible source of useful information about the island :)
Znakomite miejsce do wypoczynku, ze świetną lokalizacją (samo centrum miasta) i wieloma dogodnymi punktami w pobliżu (restauracje, szczególnie Restarante dos Combatentes, wypożyczalnią samochodów czy restauracją z tanimi i smacznymi burgerami). Miła obsługa, pokoje sprzątane każdego dnia i posiadające prywatną łazienkę, lodówkę (codziennie butelka świeżej wody i ciasteczka), telewizor (kanały po hiszpańsku, angielsku i portugalsku). Darmowe wifi. Co dość ważne - pokoje (przynajmniej nasz) są nowe, dobrze urządzone i bardzo czyste. Za taką cenę, w takim kraju - niemal luksus.

We stayed here from Jan 28 to Feb 2. Perfectly located in the centre of Funchal within easy reach of all the city has to offer. The accommodation itself was beautifully clean throughout and our room was very comfortable. The welcome gifts of wine, cake and cookies on our arrival was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Staff were super-friendly and helpful. I would recommend Sao Francisco Accommodation to anyone on a budget and this will be our first choice place to stay when we next return to Madeira.

We stayed here from 6th-10th November 2018 and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accomodation. The breakfast was fairly basic but a tasty selection, including Madeiran Bananas. Otherwise, the room was clean, functional, had a massive shower, and had a lovely balcony. It is very centrally located, not even a five minute walk from the marina. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Just be aware that you need to check in before 4pm.
