"Nice location on waterfront and near the airport. Great breakfast! My room smelled like dirty feet when I arrived but that was easily fixed by opening the door to the ocean. Loved hearing the waves crash outside."

"Room was clean and kettle etc available
Unfortunately a very noisy gusts in the next room one night - reception staff responded but were not allowed to enter the guest room. We think the guest had head phones on and was having a very noisy (shouting) conversation until 1am !! "
"Hotel is nice, but it’s not a 5 star. I would say 4 stars is about right.
However worth noting it’s priced like a 4 star so I can’t complain.
Rooms were decent. Dated, but nice and comfy. Location is great, and staff were nice. "
"We had a view of the cable cars going by and part of the sea from our balcony. Turim is a clean, beautiful, modern hotel convenient to everything in Funchal. The staff is very friendly and helpful, very responsive to our needs. The 80's guitar concert on the rooftop bar was wonderful!"
