All aspects of this hotel were fantastic from the friendly and accommodating staff in the restaurant, bar area , front desk and spa services. The hotel rooftop was excellent and enjoyed the special event of bubbles and sushi. The location was very convenient for walking to many attractions. Nice to have on site parking and the breakfast buffet that was exceptional. We enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend to others.

I went in July 2024 and stayed in an ocean front suite. We loved our room, the hotel is beautiful and the staff were very friendly! The location is perfect for walking around, close to many shops and restaurants. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the pool area is clean and relaxing.

Superb hotel in a great location. Very clean bedrooms and all areas of the hotel. The breakfast was brilliant, with lots of choice. But the best thing to me are the staff, who are all VERY helpful and cheerful. You can have a lovely building, rooms, food etc, but if the staff aren't pleasant then it's not good. I have to say ALL the staff members i met were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. VERY LOVELY HOTEL.

Best position for Funchal old town.
Lovely hotel in the best position for the old town of Funchal and taking the cable car to the botanical gardens. Good breakfast & great views if you have booked a sea front room. Nice pool area with plenty of sun beds. We had hired a car so their secure parking for just €10/day was useful. Would stay here again.

April stay 2024
Amazing stay in a great room. We were in room 22 on the ground floor with sea view and instant access to the loungers and ground floor jacuzzi. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Will definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

short relaxing winter break
We really enjoyed out stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room had braille markings on the room safe however no tactile numbering on the door. The entertainment in the bar was live using an electric piano or other instruments so was a real change from people with a backing track which tends to be the easy way these days. the hotel is located near to local buses, the cable car, the farmer's market and lots of local restaurants. with so many guests flying in, to be more Eco friendly the hotel could have it's own electric vehicle rather than book individual taxis. especially when more then one customer is on the same flight. We'd definitely go back for these reasons and many others.

Had a lovely week stay here. The hotel is lovely, we had a mini suite which had a lounge, bedroom and very large balcony with partial sea view. Breakfast is great lots of choice and all fresh. The best thing is the location, on the flat right in the old town, walking distance to nearly everything.

Jan 2024 stay
Very nice hotel in great location in the "old town" and on the sea front. We had a standard room with a small balcony overlooking the park. This was a bit noisy on the Friday and Saturday nights so it's best to pay the extra for a sea view room. Funchel itself is very nice and not expensive, the people are very friendly.

Great location and facilities. We were there for New year, the gala dinner was excellent , the staff went above and beyond to entertain the guests. I would definitely recommend hotel for older or infirm as they seemed very well catered for. The only thing I could fault was the breakfast juice from a machine was awful, more like squash.
