Overall Ratings & Reviews ASPA Studios - Urban Conscious Living

This property was utterly beautiful, the staff were so welcoming and friendly and the place itself was gorgeous and so clean. Our bed was massive and we had a fabulous wet room. There was enough basics for you to cook, if required - pans, toaster, hob, kettle and caffè tier, as well as a fridge. Our cleaner was a wonderful character, who brought us fruit from her garden and the breakfast chef, accommodated us so well as vegans- baking vg cookies and providing us with the best breakfasts we’ve had in a hotel. The owners are currently building a restaurant, as well. The outdoor, rooftop garden was so relaxing with ‘out of these world’ views over the city skyline. The location was really convenient for shops, walking to the see front and eateries, as well as sites of interest. Our all time favourite mini break and we are planning to return next year.

Hosts were very polite, rooftop was beautiful, breakfast was great!

Good spot, good room, maybe just a bit too noisy for me. They do leave ear plugs for you though. It’s not the area, it’s everyone coming in and out.

It was a lovely room with a balcony overlooking a garden. The floors were lovely wooden ones with high ceilings. Nice little kitchen well equipped and very comfortable beds.

Cute and cozy little appartment in the centre od fuchal with all the ameneties needed for a short stay. Recommend this for younger or single travelers. Area with alot of movement.

Great location, good wifi, very noisy rooms due to ?staff banging the heavy wooden doors, advertised as self-catered but no bowls to eat in, would be nice if basic condiments e.g. sugar for tea were available.

Made very welcome on check in. Decent studio overlooking garden. Large fan/flat screen TV fridge sink hob and microwave oven. Welcomed at breakfast and met other guests of all nationalities. Helpful advise from staff. Garden and bbq area much improved. Two group bbq's held in garden with other guests. Location very central. Restaurants nearby and easy reach of transport.

If you want to be in the middle of Funchal, within walking distance to most everything, consider this hotel. It is an old building and they have spent money to modernize it but it does not have all of the conveniences of a newly built hotel. The thick walls make the wifi signal weak in some places. There is no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage and wind up on the third floor you have some work to do. Isabella keeps the place as clean as can be and the breakfast is good. The beds are comfortable and the staff is helpful. If we come back to Funchal we would gladly stay there again. You cetrainly get full value for what you spend.

Great, clean, good value hotel. Super friendly staff. and roomy accommodation were all pluses. Not so good was having a Restaurant directly underneath the room made it difficult to sleep and without Airco the windows needed to be open at night and with the restaurant and street noise including vehicles right under the windows made sleeping very difficult. Well worth booking at this hotel but ask for a room higher up than the ground floor..

A really nice hotel for the price. Our first room was in the annexe (Alegria) and had street noise, but the manager was happy to move us to the main hotel (Sao Paulo). Our new room opened onto a lovely balcony (shared with two other rooms, but that was OK). The shower room with wc was tiny (so the washbasin was in the bedroom itself), but it was all fine - clean, fresh towels every day, cheerful service, great breakfast (help yourself to ham, cheese, boiled egg, lovely bread rolls and croissants, a toaster, honey, jam and marmalade, tea, coffee, juice, various cereals, yoghurt and various fruits. And in our bedroom, there was a kettle, cups, teacloths, full size fridge and hairdryer. We also used the free computer in the reception area. On our last day, the manager arranged things specially so that we could keep our room until the afternoon so that we could rest before our evening flight. The manager is also easy to deal with by email as he speaks several languages.

This was my second stay at this location; the price is unbelievable! Lovely little kitchen, fab bathroom and comfy beds, cleaned every day. 2 minutes from the centre of town, this is perfect for anyone who fancies staying amongst actual Madeirans in the old town rather than the newer, fancier hotels. Wonderful experience!

Excellent value for money. If you need a clean, central place just to sleep, no fancy pools, etc., this is perfect.

My wife and I stayed for 20 days over the Christmas/New Years period. Great location, clean and very friendly staff. They will provide advice on which sights to see, arrange car rentals, etc. It is a 5 minute walk to a shopping centre with a large super market. Food prices are good, and with the apartment's stove, microwave, fridge and dishes; you can eat well on a modest budget. Complementary wireless internet is provided in all rooms -- fast and reliable. Breakfast is included, and it was good with various breads, cheese, cereal, fruit, coffee and tea, etc. If you rent a car (we did) inexpensive parking is provided across the street. Madeira is not small, so if you are comfortable driving a standard shift, as all rentals are here, that is the best way to get around. If not, one of the main bus terminals is 5 minutes away and will take you to most of the major attractions on the island. You can pay more and stay at a luxury hotel, but if you want the flexibility of doing most of your own cooking and enjoying the central part of traditional Funchal, you will be hard pressed to beat this place. We really enjoyed our stay at Apartamentos Turisticos Sao Paulo e Alegria, and we highly recommend it to others.

Hotellet skiltede fejlagtig med balkon på værelset. Det var en forudsætning for vor booking - øv.

Breakfast had little choice and wasn't well prepared. No mosquito net.

Emplacement nickel pour visiter Funchal, à proximité de toutes commodités. Logement impeccable, ménage fait tous les jours et draps et serviettes changés à la demande. Gel douche et shampoing sur place. Nous n'avons pas utilisé le service de petit déjeuner. Hôtes réactifs. Nous recommandons ++ ce logement et reviendrons avec grand plaisir

Hôtel moderne et agréable dans une petite ville tranquille proche de plusieurs spots touristiques. Accueil et services agréables, bon buffet petit déjeuner

Wonderful clean and cozy place with a great bed, nice garden and view, close to everything. The only negative thing was the walking noise from the room above.

Die Unterkunft war immer sehr sauber und für die zentrale Lage angenehm ruhig.

Huono ilmanvaihto, lievä homeen haju, epäystävällinen henkilökunta. Hyvin varusteltu huone.
