The staff were delightful and couldn't have been more helpful (top tips from concierge Marco to eat at Olivia and Kampo); the location of the hotel was terrific; the room was spotless when we arrived and was cleaned every day; the pretty balcony of our third-floor superior double was nice to sit out on and felt very private (it wasn't one of the wrought-iron ones in the photos); the king-size bed was very comfortable; the shower was great; wi-fi was good; the area was very quiet at night; breakfasts (included in the room price) were FANTASTIC – cooked/prepared to order, plentiful and delicious.

Some small gripes with the design of our room, which was attractive, well-lit and otherwise excellent: 1) it would have been nice to have had a small table on both sides of the bed, not just one; 2) drawers would have been helpful (we stacked our clothes on top of the hanging area); 3) the loo, which was separate from the basin and shower area, was at the foot of the bed, by the entrance to the room. It had no outside window or extractor fan and just a swing door with a gap around it. The only alternative was the toilets down in the basement, by the gym, where there's one loo for men and two for women.

Decor in the rooms, much nicer than the pictures. Helpful staff. Fab breakfast, very high quality and really quick service. I’m vegetarian and lots of selection - I don’t understand the some of the reviews below about quality / selection. Would definitely stay again.

Only slight issues was bed was a little too soft for me and mattress topper was loose under the sheets leaving a gap between the headboard under the sheets.

The service was great and location is within Funchal itself to suit us. Quiet rooms and tbar he breakfast menu and being served at the table was enjoyable, the room was generous size ,we were top floor - say querky with the walls of concrete shuttering but the overall appearance is ok - designer licence is different i ilked it. Large rain shower super and nice toiletries provided. Welcoming helpful reception. Restaurants very near by, to many to chose.

Its as stated - no bar, - to use your card for entry after 6pm though always attended desk, and no rooftop type outside space for relaxation, though gym and rest area in the basement.

Everything. Excellent location, beautiful rooms and lobby, great breakfast, helpful and agreeable staff, quality toiletries. I am back at this hotel after my first stay here last year and it was again a very pleasurable experience. I will definitely return.

centrally located, comfy bed, a la carte breakfast

There was a kettle with sugar from Nespresso, and instant coffee! In a 4star hotel I’d expect a coffee machine.

Great location right in the centre of old town Great breakfast Big, comfortable bed. Cute, small gym

Everything was perfect. The location of the hotel, close to all places. The room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff, at the reception and restaurant, were wonderful, very helpful and friendly. We would like to special thank to a lovely girl working at the reception at night shifts and the lovely gentleman having day shifts. Sorry we don't remember their names. They both helped us to get to the most interesting places and we were very gratefull for all of their recommendations. We would definitely stay here again. The best hotel ever

Everything was perfect

Nice and very helpful service. Clean and comfortable room. Very tasty breakfast - from the menu. There is also a restaurant in the hotel where you can eat lunch. For dinner, you can choose one of the restaurants located along the street - go right from the hotel doors. I recommend Regional Flavours at the end of the street. Beautiful, small St. Peter's Church (Igreja de São Pedro) located ca. 1 min from the hotel. Good location, ca. 7 min walking distance to the marina.

I really couldn't fault this hotel. The staff were lovely, the location was great and the beds were super comfy. The shower was hot and powerful. We didn't use the little gym downstairs but we were able to refill our water bottle from inside. Breakfast was very nice - loved the Caju bowl in particular. The only small criticism was our toilet door didn't stay shut - it used to swing open

Really the only issue was the toilet door not staying closed - would have a liked a few more tea bags in the room and some extra milk

Hotel Caju was the perfect & well located hotel for me as a solo English speaking traveler to Madeira. My single room was compact, but well appointed, spotless, and quiet (important for arrival after a very long flight, multiple connections, etc). The bed & pillows were extremely comfortable, and I was able to open the small balcony door & window for a view of the hillside. The staff were young, but helpful and accommodating, ready to supply additional towels and hangers. The room includes a safe, mini fridge, and a large bottle of drinking water. The hotel was beautifully renovated around 3 years ago, after serving as the first (ancient) grocery store in Funchal, & features stunning architectural updates, while retaining some original walls, window accents, etc. There is a small gym (including exercise mats) in the basement, with an attractive lounge area, toilets, etc. The breakfast included with my room was delicious, with healthy, fresh ingredients or more traditional cooked options. It's an easy walk to the harbor, gardens in the old town, casino, and cable car. I rarely write reviews, but I would definitely recommend this hotel, and would love to stay here again!

The hotel does not have a valet to assist with bags
