Hotel Cajú

A hotel with friendly helpful staff and wonderful breakfasts,

Pros: A sleek modern comfortable and friendly little hotel in the Old Town. Central location.

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fab too!

An ideally located boutique hotel in Funchal

Pros: Hotel Caju is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the oceanfront and the cathedral, and 15 minutes from the Old Town, the teleferico and Mercado dos Lavradores. The staff were friendly and always happy to help, and the breakfasts were excellent - particularly the pancakes!

Great Breakfasts and location

Pros: Friendly staff, very clean, excellent location. But the biggest draw in this place is the breakfast- superb with the best staff going! I'm going to miss them! Juice of the day and freshly cooked healthy breakfasts- probably the best breakfasts I've ever had. All delivered with first class service. Great service overall.

Cons: I was doing a combination of work and holidaying. But there was nowhere quiet to work. Like nowhere. Unfortunately there wasn't even a small desk in my room. When I asked to move to a room with a desk, I was told that it would cost me at least 75 Euro a night to upgrade to a room with a desk- might have been 85 I can't remember. So you can't really work from here. This seems a bit harsh- an Ikea desk is 40 Euro to keep for as many nights as I like- so I nearly bought one! The room is also very small for the price, but I could cope with that. A room to chill out that isn't the main restaurant is what this place desperately needs- maybe the basement could be converted- it needs to be sorted out. The gym was also very disappointing- the treadmill isn't geared right so slips for example and is so tiny that it's not really worth having.

Pros: Excellent pre-trip communication with hotel reception staff. Perfect location: quiet, but within walking distance of lively old town and waterfront.

Pros: Room was spacious with a large balcony and an amazing view over Funchal.

Lovely friendly small hotel, great central location with very comfortably accomodation. Great breakfast and amazing staf

Pros: Modern and functional small hotel with a family feel in the centre of Funchal. Bed and pillows were so comfortable, shower and bathrobes. Very friendly and attentive staff. Hard working and you feel they want to make you feel welcome.

Cons: The dinning area and bar which is really the only social area closes at 4pm. After that no food or drink and it’s cut off. So no real social area to talk to other guest. It’s a real shame. On the lower ground floor there is a gym with water fountain and next to that a small area with a few uncomfortable chairs. It smells of damp and toilets which are next to the lounge area. Whilst the retro concrete and brick structure works for the rooms it doesn’t work in the basement and feels cold and uninviting. It needs a sauna or something with a few loungers. It’s just not used by anyone which should say something. A waste of space.
