Hotels in Funchal

The walls of the room were too thin. The voice and noise from other room could be heard as if we were in the same riom.

We were not told of the steepness of the path leading to the hotel, which was difficult for my wife to negotiate. We were half board but we're not told drinks were not included with our evening meal, not even water. We also were not told whether we could bring our own drinks in, even if it was just water. The staff were not very helpful if you did not want to buy drinks and if I'd known that you could...

This hotel is in a great location and, has a good restaurant which offers a buffet breakfast with a great variety of things. The rooms are neat and tidy and the views from some of them are spectacular. I Would recommend for smaller groups, families and or solo travellers.

The room is clean, very bright, the windows overlook the tennis court

Good localisation, food very tasty for the luch and a lot of acomodities nearby the hotel, the center of funchal is a bit far by feet.

Very beautiful view from my balcony. I recommend everything was good.

Great hotel in central location of Funchal old town , friendly stuff and great breakfast with tasty choices, very nice coffee. Clean room and great view of the ocean. Cheap parking on Bly 5-7 min walk.

Nice location and staff were friendly. Breakfast was okayish…and parking was difficult unless you are happy to pay 15 euros for the hotel parking

Loved this hotel and room 611 was perfect in every way. The view was stunning and the room was a wonderful size. The beds were comfortable and staff were very helpful.

I had a great stay! I would highlight the great location, the views from the room and rooftop, excellent breakfast, and friendly staff.

the location is really good-in the city center. so it's not easy to find a parking point.

Very tidy and a beautiful roof terrace

Arrived here a week ago. Upon entering our room we noticed that the air conditioning wasn’t working so we were moved a bit further up the corridor to a suite. The rooms were very clean & comfortable but there was no tea or coffee making facilities. We also had to ask at reception for a key to the safe. We had dinner a couple of nights in the restaurant but the service was really slow. We waited well...

This is a great hotel to stay in if you are looking for somewhere close to the airport/city. The views are amazing from all areas of the hotel and it’s clean! The rooms are practical for what you need and there is a supermarket about 5 minutes away in the car for everything you would need. They run a shuttle service through the week and there is also a local bus that stops outside the hotel. We used...

Hi the positive of this hotel is the staff especially Connie, lovely view of the sea but unfortunately there is a road outside the hotel (see photo) so you could not sit out there because all you could hear was traffic. Swimming pool had green at the bottom in the corners, sunbeds were stained and one ripped, so it looks neglected There is nowhere to dry swimming costumes on balcony, the hotel do...

Arrived here 23rd December 2024 until 6th January 2025. First of all no sure how rated 4 star hotel, there is no hospitality tray, no water when arriving unless you want to pay 6 euros. No information about things to do. Breakfast not set tables see to yourself and table only cleared once youve left, one thing buffet breakfast had a good selection but was always warm/cold. The information about nearest...

Lovely hotel with excellent facilities . As it is a little way out of the main town it is quieter . Six of us have just enjoyed a really lovely stay for a week . The food is very nice and the hotel very clean and beautifully managed . The staff are all very friendly and helpful . There is a hotel shuttle bus into town and taxis are easy to arrange . Also local buses stop outside . We asked for the...

It’s a nice clean hotel and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Special mention to Valerie in reception and Barbara in the breakfast room, and of course Louis who regularly drove us into Funchal. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, indeed, the fresh rye bread was lovely. Our room was spacious and immaculate. We had an amazing view from our verandah but my only quibble was not having...

One of the top hotels I have ever stayed. The service was nothing less than exceptional. The Reserve was the high end room in this hotel and it was worth every penny. We felt like royalty. From the greeting on the airport tarmac to the wonderful checkin. The housekeeping staff was so amazing. We have really never had this level of perfection in any other place we have stayed. The restaurants in the...

Other than the GALÁXIA restaurant being told of a shellfish allergy and being served prawns in an appetizer, which caused an allergic reaction, it was a marvelous stay.

Fantastic hotel. Lovely place with incredibly friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful views and great service Incredible service and beautiful suite overlooking the ocean. The spa was great too.

We have had the privilege of travelling many times in the past few decades This is our number one best hotel experience weeks prior to our stay we were contacted to make sure that every detail would be addressed My wife is celiac and the many amazing restaurants went above and beyond to accommodate her for breakfast lunch and dinner without mentioning her restrictions Every individual employee from...

Fantastic accommodations from the spacious rooms to the staff attention to detail and service. Numerous little touches - like small bathrobes and slippers for small children and the takeaway treats at breakfast make the stay here very special.

Lovely hotel, we had a deluxe room , comfy beds , large balcony and lovely sea view. Very clean , good breakfast . The shuttle bus is good , we booked it the night before online. The bus drops you at the port in Funchal. The pool area is lovely and clean and the snack bar food is very good. The only reason we wouldn’t go back is the challenging steps down to the pool /bar and promenade although we...

Hotel with a magnificent view, super calm, where you can relax listening to the sea! The breakfast is wonderful!

Although the location on the cliff side was lovely it came with disadvantage s especially for anyone disabled. To get to the (icy cold) but beautiful pool you have to go down 110 steps plus one very steep ramp. Of course going back up after a swim is worse. There is no warning of this on any hotel info The other disadvantage is there are no local eateries which leaves you with an overpriced (€40)...

Stayed here for the second time..it was a better experience than the first time we went last year..we gave it a second chance because of it's location and the fact that each room has a full sea view.therefore peaceful and scenic ,a room and balcony to enjoy and relax after a busy day sightseeing. The breakfast was plentyful and varied and fresh.. Didn't eat in the hotel in the evening. Hotel staff...

We had a deluxe suite room on floor -5 – this is one large room, rather than multiple rooms, as the word ‘suite’ often implies. The balcony was vast (although there were only two chairs, despite the room sleeping four) and the views were amazing. We found the wardrobe space to be ample, the beds were reasonably comfortable and the TV, that could turn to face in either direction, was a quirky touch...

Lovely spacious clean room with great view. Lots of choice at breakfast. Friendly staff on reception.

This is our second stay at this hotel and didn't disappoint. All the staff couldn't do enough for you and all happy faces. The view from the room was amazing. Breakfast is lovely with a good choice for everyone. The rooms are kept spotless. From the hotel you can walk into Funchal or 2 euro for a bus outside the hotel. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Will be back next year.

Great location and view of the ocean. Nice outdoor pool and easy access to chairs and umbrellas. Breakfast has good selections and variations. Room was spacious and had fantastic balcony with secluded sea view. Will definitely come back.

Lovely spacious clean room with fantastic sea view. Great breakfast with lots of choice and friendly staff throughout.

View from balcony was amazing and enjoyed the excellent breakfast on the outdoor terrace.

Room was neat and tidy, dining options were really convenient after a long day of travelling. Pool area was nice and welcome gift of fruit basket was a nice gesture

Lovely hotel in a great location just minutes walk from the old town with its restaurants and bars. We booked a Garden View room and got almost a suite with 3 sitting areas plus a balcony. Absolutely huge. Breakfast was fine with plenty of choice although the cooked food could have been better We only dined in the restaurant once ( on a wet evening ) and it was OK but nothing special so we preferred...

The lady at the reception (Ana) was friendly and polite, the rest of staff I could not see any smile on their faces. The room was clean, housekeeper was polite and friendly, really appreciate her work. The hotel I can imagine long time ago was a luxury hotel but in 2025 I think 4 stars it’s is a bit exaggerate. Our room was on the street side, a bit noisy. The mattress was very comfortable and pillows...

This is a great hotel with friendly staff. They have a good quality, smart restaurant and nice pool. Very nice rooms. Great hotel

It's a smaller boutique type of hotel in a very good location for walking into the centre of Funchal. Lovely gardens, wonderful views. Two terraces overlooking the pool and gardens. The bar terrace was bigger and this is where breakfast dinner was served. Buffet breakfast was varied and generous. Dinner menu didn't change for the two week we were there and I guess it never does, however we were...

Excellent value for money, the location is brilliant in the old part of town, with a short walk to the center of Funchal. Old fashioned style, which I prefer over a modern hotel block any day with beautiful views on Funchal and the sea. Super friendly staff and my half board food was ok, yes, no Michelin star food, but everything was freshly prepared and mostly tasty. The outdoor restaurant terrace...

A beautifully, clean, elegant hotel. The staff are lovely, the breakfast is plentiful. I love it here it's a delight. Love the fish, the terraces, the library, reception, pool, bar, everything. Perfect location in the old town and one day I will go back. Thank you for my lovely stay

A traditional hotel approx half an hour walk to the Old Town but with steep hill so might not suit older person to walk. Room was spacious with large balcony and had fabulous views of the sea and garden. Room cleaned daily, very comfortable bed & lovely hot shower. Continental breakfast, had to eat inside as there were pigeons on the patio. Joes bar on the premises & an English bar across the road...

Very Good on all aspects can not fault anything really enjoyed my stay and food is good thank you  will see you again in the near future

Extremely satisfied, it exceeded my expectations!

The room was simple but very clean. The hotel restaurant offered delicious banana swordfish and macaroni. The service, in particular, was outstanding. During check-in, they provided a thorough introduction to the facilities and even personally guided us around, explaining everything (perhaps because the beachfront pool was accessed via the back garden). Just as we were checking out, we witnessed a...

Wonderful experience and the best hotel during our stay in Madeira. Perfect price and value proposition with a staff who are really customers oriented and friendly. Smaller hotel what is never overcrowded. Nice charming design elements. Very good breakfast with selection of local cheeses and meat. Real juice would be the only needed improvement and some pastel de Nata for the breakfast would add to...

A charming hotel with classically styled rooms. The staff is friendly, and the grounds are well-maintained. It features two saltwater pools. The breakfasts were delicious, and restaurants and cafes are within walking distance.

love this hotel so much, the staffs are all so friendly and nice.

Worst hotel experience in Madeira, bar none! The room is at most the level of a 200 RMB express hotel in China. We stayed for three days but only provided one bottle of water. On the second day, we asked them to refill the water but they told us to go downstairs and buy it ourselves. I was very confused. We were not given water for one day. The 5 RMB ticket to the Ronaldo Museum was not given. This...

Ronaldo fans' dream comes true

The hotel in Ronaldo's hometown, in order to check in before leaving Portugal, I bought a round-trip low-cost flight, which was not cheap. There was an airport bus when I landed, which was quite convenient. The hotel is barely four stars, with accurate self-positioning. If there is no sentimentality, it can even be considered average

Cool Ronaldo/football themed hotel. Staff were excellent, rooms - modern and quiet. The hotel is about 15-20 mins walk to the city life. You get a free ticket to CR7 museum with your stay (worth €5).

The sea view room I stayed in had a first-class view, many C Ronaldo elements, and was close to the C Ronaldo Museum. The staff was very enthusiastic and helped me solve many problems. It was great!!!

Great overall. Very friendly. Great location for the old town. Would stay again.

hotel staff are very friendly and willing to assist, room is clean and has everything you need. only downside is that there’s no parking available onsite

The food was pretty poor, we forgot our cosmetics in the bathroom and we were never able to get them back

The hotel has friendly staff, an excellent location, a good rooftop restaurant, and a reasonable price.

The room is large, clean and hygienic.

Located in the heart of Funchal. There is a very beautiful park nearby. From the window there is a view of the church. Breakfast buffet is standard, coffee is disgusting. There is a lot of audibility in the room. Everything else is great. I'm happy.

Convenient location, parking. Nice apartment with a full kitchen.

Exceptional welcome Ideally located for easy access Beautiful room

Friendly helpful staff made our stay relaxed & enjoyable. We enjoyed breakfast & dinner in their O'Classico restaurant.

Loved everything. Front desk lady was very nice

Accommodation was perfect and onmain bus route near to Funchal and Lido.  Staff friendly and helpful.

Late cancelled flight, booked last minute so wasn't sure what to expect. Friendly greeting by the night manager, helpful and chatty. Room was tired and past its best with chipped paintwork but clean and the bathroom was fine. Breakfast was good and again really friendly welcoming staff. Lovely view from the balcony. Pool area a little worn but we only viewed, didn't use. Daytime reception helpful...

Friendly helpful staff and a good breakfast selection help make up for the fact that the hotel is past its prime. Spacious clean bedroom with balcony had lovely sea view and although functional/adequate, it was a little worn/tired ( eg mattress no longer comfortable). Bathroom again dated but liked bath tub and plentiful hot water & good water pressure. Ok for our short stay needs.

A welcoming place, friendly staff, a good breakfast with a wide selection of tropical fruits, an ocean view, and above all, truly excellent value. It may not be a luxury hotel, but the service is excellent.

Our holiday at the Hotel Escola Funchal in November was amazing in every way. Staff were amazing, housekeeping looked after us every day, the reception staff were full of information and extremely helpful. Dinner was limited choice but was excellent quality so much that we ate most nights. The restaurant was quiet at night but it gave us a chance to speak with staff and find more information about...

Good location for those traveling to the island by car. Calm, peaceful and quiet place. With lots of "restoration" nearby. Very friendly staff and always available to help with drinks at night.

Small hotel (20 rooms, all but 4 have sea views) Perfect location, on the edge of Funchal, very quick access to the expressway. Private hotel parking (13 spaces), if it is plain, easy parking on the street, there were plenty of empty spaces every day. Supermarket 50m away (7-9 p.m.) Bus stop (N 02) to go to the city center 100m away Pebble beach below (on the way back you have to climb 65m in altitude...

Spent a wonderful week at this fabulous hotel at the end of January. All of the staff, without exception, were superb and very hardworking and I felt well looked after. My room was spacious and immaculate - very clean. Reception staff were welcoming and approachable. The bar is very comfortable with plenty of room and the bar staff were very friendly, remembering my preferences from day to day...

Spent a wonderful 4 nights at this elegant, well run, well staffed hotel. It was our first visit to Madeira and the hotel made it a pleasurable one. The rooms are spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our room had a balcony over looking the gardens (nice touch). There is a courtesy bus that runs during the week that takes guests too and from Funchal. The restaurant, including breakfast, was excellent...

Despite some unique qualities of this hotel (beautiful grounds, unique and charming interior decoration) the stay did not meet my expectations. Room had some maintenance issues and there is no iron or ironing board available for guest use, only a laundry service that requires pre booking.

Our review will be short and sweet as there is not much we can say that had not been said before. A Gem Perfect beautifully appointed, lovely antiques Amazing staff Like many before we have stayed in many hotels around the world and this one you will find hard to beat keep this hotel a secret x

What an amazing find…. This hotel is practically perfect. 42 rooms - ours had a huge comfy bed, sofa , desk, balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens, and so much more. A few welcome goodies in the fridge and bottled water replenished each day. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and so well presented with loads of choice. The bar was comfy and also served small plates and tapas all day. But...

Our tenth visit to the Island and our fifth visit to this hotel. So you can guess we rather like it. Everything was as expected. A lovely characterful hotel with great rooms and facilities. Excellent restaurant for lovely breakfast and dinner. A good bar with a pleasant outside area which leads into a really nice garden. But as I say every year, the best bit are the staff. Whether in reception, restaurant...

The location is fabulous for walking to restaurants and shopping and even the port! Front desk staff are very attentive, coming out of their office most times guests walk in or out. The only reason I'm giving a medium rating is the beds felt like a board. The hotel is thin and situated on a corner, so I don't think it has many rooms. We were on the top floor, the 4th, and my room was on the end so...

Just got back today from Maderia. We stayed in Funchal Design Hotel. I cannot rate this hotel enough. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Ido not understand the criticism being given on some reviews, what do they want? The place was exceptionally clean and central to where you need to be / get to. Don't hesitate to book this place you won't regret it.

Due to glitch in the reservation system, the hotel was overbook. We were transported by hotel's shuttle to their other property Hotel Quinta Mirabella. Beautiful hotel with excellent views. Every was perfect there.Little bit further from the centre of Funchal, but the hotel provided the shuttle few times per day. There was also bus stop around the corner - very convenient .

The hotel is very close to the city, therefore you have some traffic noise. But the distance is of course also nice - just view steps and you enter the city center!

Rob's stay at Funchal Design explored the city of Funchal, went to Porto Moniz, Seixal, and Santana breakfast was good the room could use a coffee machine

Enjoyable stay with friends in this lovely city based boutique hotel. Ideally situated for exploring funchal. We used the Hotels courtesy bus one day to take us to their sister hotel, which had amazing views. Room was very comfortable, no complaints. Staff lovely, very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was varied. Would definitely stay again. Thank you to all the staff who made our holiday...

We had read previous reviews so kind of knew what to expect this is my feedback. We stayed in 102 and 104, noise from the loose road grid outside was awful! It is a very busy road. Internet/wifi dropped out at random times, annoying when trying to listen to the radio to block out road noise. They still need to put kettles and tea/coffee facilities in the rooms. The rooms were really clean but shabby...

Good location. Facilities could be improved.

The Windsor Hotel is old. I stayed on the first floor next to the parking lot, and you could hear cars coming in. I'm a light sleeper and woke up several times. This was annoying! There are few electrical outlets in the room. The bathroom (toilet) has a bathtub and hairdryer. Clean towels and sheets. The TV worked well. The location is excellent; you can walk to the main tourist attractions (cable...

Great location, very friendly staff and varied breakfast. It wound great if there was a kettle or a microwave in the room. Beds need to be changed, old and squeaky

Stayed 3 nights in this hotel , what an awesome staff , it’s a really nice place to stay 😄

Stayed 3 nights in this hotel , what an awesome staff , it’s a really nice place to stay 😄

Fantastic stay at this wonderful hotel. Spotlessly clean rooms and super friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant food wss excellent. A free courtesy bus is provided on weekdays to take you to and from the town centre.

The hotel was beautiful, with great facilities, and extremely clean throughout. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Emanuel in the restaurant, who made our stay in your hotel even better! The lady Chef Mrs Tania even took the time to make me a birthday cake, which was such a kind thing to do. We have stayed in many hotels throughout Europe, and Quinta Mirabela has...

As literally a last minute booking, and not having visited Madeira before, we were pleasantly surprised to find this boutique 5* hotel at such an affordable price, with superb facilities including a restaurant serving outstanding food, along with a very relaxing spa and pool. What really made this hotel stand out though was the staff. Mr Paulo Franco and his team were both friendly and professional...

A boutique hotel that gives off a warm glow: personable, helpful service from all the staff; with views that are breathtaking of Funchal and the ocean. Public spaces are tasteful and very relaxing. Bedroom very quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast wide ranging: cooked ingredients, pastries, fruit, yogurts, granola and all delicious. We went half board and looked forward each evening to dinner -...

The hotel was good but I think 5-star is a bit too much. It’s a standard 4-star hotel. Location is close to Funchal but having a rental car is a must. Hotel also has a parking lot which is very good considering it being a challenge in many areas

Wonderful stay! Property was excellent. Food amazing and views were spectacular.

We loved this hotel. Old-style, but everything good and clean. But we didn’t like breakfast - it’s just bread and some cheese and meat. It’s better to have breakfast somewhere else. But room is really nice, clean and quite.

I stayed at the Hotel do Centro for three weeks via a Jet2 package holiday. On arrival, and throughout my stay, all of the staff at this hotel were really nice and friendly, always saying hello or good morning, with one member of staff even welcoming me in the morning by name. The cleaning staff do a wonderful job with the room cleaned and towels changed every day of my stay. Again the staff at breakfast...

Great location a few minutes walk from all amenities and restaurants. 24/7 reception made check out in the early hours very simple. Handy mini fridge in the room allowed us to store our own food and drink. Breakfast was very simple, however there was ample space and no wait. To be noted there was only one plug socket in the room so charging our multiple devices was a slow process. View from the balcony...

Comfortable hotel to stay for 1 night after flight. I had a good rest, simple breakfast, regular room. Nothing very special, but stuff were really friendly and for 1-2 nights it’s really nice.

Staff members are very efficient and helpful! Room was very clean but dated need renovation. TV not working but good WiFi connection and I can watch TV news using my iPad! Breakfast is ok! Lot of shop , restaurants and supermarkets near by.

Portugal travel Wonderful stay. Great location. Friendly host.

Overall great accommodation but some glitches with description of property. We booked this apartment as it was in downtown Funchal for the New Year’s Eve fireworks. It was for our family of four adults, ourselves,our daughter and her boyfriend. it was listed as a one bedroom apartment, however on arrival it was actually one large studio apartment with an archway leading from the kitchen living area...

Excellent apartment for location for restaurants, supermarket, and buses, not sure about parking. We will stay again without hesitation.

Great location, and a spacious room. I do recommend for anyone looking to stay by the old part of Funchal or close to the water. The pedestrian road is lined with lots of cafes and options for great food. Delicious! Only drawback is that there is no staff and we had to rely on a whats App chat to coordinate our checkin. Thankfully my phone (canadian) worked on arrival in Lisbon and then Madeira...

This property is in a great, central location, close to shops, restaurants & all amenities. The check-in was very simple & Cristina was a great help. The apartment has all the facilities you need & is an ideal base for a few days in Funchal

The property is very clean and quiet located in the busiest downtown area. The supermarkets are three minutes away. The service staffs are very responsive. There is AC in the room. I will definitely stay this place again. The only thing I think they can improve is to ask the cleaning ladies to chat in a lower volume every morning when they work. I can hear them chatting in the public area from my...

We have a timeshare studio at the very front of the Residence on the first floor, with an excellent sea view. We’ve had it for many years but have been back this year for the first time in a long time. The standards as always are tremendous, the food and facilities are great and the climate is wonderful. The flower festival was still on while we were there and proved very colourful. An excellent visit...

Take advantage of a rooftop, because it gives great views over Funchal.

Close to everything, quiet, friendly staff

This hotel was a stop gap measure as our accommodation fell through and we needed something quickly. The staff are helpful and the rooms are clean and not cramped. I had an ample twin room and the bathroom was spotless. Overall the hotel was fine just a little faded and in need of a renovation just for aesthetics.

Everything was as stated. Everything was perfect! The rooftop view was amazing! One of the best hotels I have stayed at!

We stayed one night before our flight. The hotel was clean and no-frills. The staff was friendly. The room was clean, including the bedding and towels. Air conditioning and TV were included. We packed breakfast because of our early flight. It's located almost in the center of the bustling city. Nearby are cafes, restaurants, a promenade, and a shopping center.

good location, clean rooms and, most importantly, bathroom, good breakfast

A very clean and friendly hotel to stay at. We were in the main building. There are three others. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is very quaint with comfy beds and a continental breakfast. Snacks are available in the afternoon. There is building work going on either side and can occasionally be noisy. It did not spoil our holiday. There are amazing resteraunts . Easy access to taxis and buses...

The hotel is quaint, quiet (except for building noise nearby), and in a good location. The gardens are pretty and private but there isn't a lot of privacy from other guests. The reception is old fashioned but functional. The breakfast area is cramped but bright. The rooms are clean but tired. It is more like a b and b instead of a hotel. Have we enjoyed our stay? Yes. Would we stay again? No. Is Maderia...

Absolutely lovely, great rooms, indoor and outdoor pool and jacuzzi, friendly informative staff and great breakfast. Ticked all the boxes for me.

The hotel is a secluded gated little oasis in the heart of Lido, Funchal. This family owned and run hotel is full of charm and character and has the most stunning well cared for almost tropical lush gardens with hidden seating and sunbathing spots in different parts of the grounds. The rooms are large and well furnished with everything you would need, including a sitting area - fridge and balcony or...

What a fabulous find this was! Such a little oasis hidden behind a large green door. Three traditional villas, with a modern addition housing a really great indoor pool and additional rooms. All based around the lovely gardens and outdoor pool. Gabriel and the lovely ladies serving the very nice breakfast could not have been more welcoming (our flight was delayed). It feels quite special to be given...

Had read mixed reviews about this hotel but our experience was very good. We were in room 53, it was very nice. Separate bedroom, lounge and bathroom. The bathroom had both bath and shower with no sign of mould or damp. A balcony was a good addition, overlooking the garden and pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. The garden was a little oasis in the middle of other high rise hotels....
