Funchal hotellit lähellä Funchal Sacred Art Museum

Plussat: At Check-in: Warm welcome Complementary room upgrade Quick tour. Check-out Allowed me to keep the room until 18:30 Reasonably priced limousine service The Palace and the services left me impressed and wow at times.

Miinukset: Fitness centre does not open until 8am

Plussat: The pool and ocean area are beautiful. The breakfast is lovely and the afternoon tea is very enjoyable on the terrace. The gardens are also beautiful. The property is very relaxing and has several different food options, it is beautifully maintained and very serene. Villa Cipriani in particular was delicious with amazing service! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the spa services and atmosphere are amazing.

Miinukset: The rooms are a bit dated (old carpet, shower curtain) and the public restrooms facilities could have been better maintained.

Plussat: the whole atmosphere of the building, the cliff by the seashore, tennis ground, pools

Miinukset: the staff was very friendly, the consierge helped us to buy ticket to a football match however the seating was not at all comfortable, we kindly ask the team to buy the best ticket for the match... it was a burning sunny day we had to sit in front of the sun, we burnt like hell... :( i booked a room with two separated bed, however they prepared us a king sized bed suit, we had to finally change the room, it has taken more time during check in, and the view from the other room was not as spectacular as from the king sized bed room... and the room was too small, we had to ask to take out the armchairs from the room

Plussat: Breakfast fantastic as were the staff- nothing too much trouble. Setting, ambiance wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing- could not falt anything

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Courteous and professional staffs, classic style hotel, great amenities

Miinukset: Compared to other Belmond’s hotel I’ve been to it was little below my expectations. The spa treatment was so so.

Plussat: The luxurious setting of this Belmond Hotel is second to none!!! The two large pools, along with the highly unique natural ocean pool, are an excellent way to relax in between visits around the Island.

Miinukset: What’s not to like???

Plussat: Aamiainen oli runsas ja maittava. Hyvät altaat ja allaspalvelut. Hyvät ravintolat.

Miinukset: Jotkut osat hotellia olivat hieman kulahtaneita.

Plussat: Excellent service, location, Very relaxing place to stay:)

Miinukset: The hotel should be more active in arranging pick-up service at airport. With the current pricing - they should offer free shuttlebus!!

Plussat: Yleisten tilojen sisustukset laadukkaat ja tyylikkäät. Hotellin oma puutarha oli todella kaunis, rauhallinen ja yllättävän suuri. Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä jopa viiden tähden paikaksi. Allasalue oli kaunis, rauhallinen ja siisti, ja upeilla merinäköaloilla.

Miinukset: Hotelli on melko sokkeloinen, koska se on rakennettu useassa vaiheessa eri vuosisadoilla haastavaan rinteeseen. Esim. vanhassa osassa sijaitsevasta huoneesta oli melko pitkä matka kahdella eri hissillä aamiaiselle ja allasalueelle.

Plussat: if you like old fashioned and style, this is the right hotel for you . Think English Country House Hotel in a sub tropical garden and climate. I t also benefit from its own micro climate so we had sunny spells when all around us was thick cloud and rain

Plussat: The rooftop pool, bar and restaurant were the perfect places to hang out and unwind at the end of a full day in Madeira. Being able to book everything through the front desk (dinner, rental car, etc.) made for a very easy stay. Got great advice from the front desk in general.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast,very good location near to the marina but not noisy in the hotel

Miinukset: the system for controlling the room lights was overly complicated.

Plussat: Location. Pool. Breakfast. Good ac. Shops below. A great stay overall

Miinukset: Rooms are super dark and lighting is odd. But you could open the doors on the terrace so that helped.

Plussat: The staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. We upgraded, and the room was spectacular. All very quirky and modern. It was situated above a small shopping centre and a 10 minute stroll to the promenade. A twenty minute walk to the right of the hotel took you to the restaurants and shops "up the hill" and a fifteen minute walk to the left took you to the restaurants in the old part of the town. There was something to do every day...lots of culture and steep hills! ( But bus transport or taxis can get you around too ) We used the " Hop-On Hop Off bus " and saw so much. Definitely worth the money.

Miinukset: The pool was situated on the top of the hotel with great views. This was lovely, but there were only 34 sun loungers. Had to get there early:-)

Plussat: Location, balcony, staff

Miinukset: The elevator

Plussat: Very cool style & design comfortable furniture very Friendly staff Stunning roof top bar and jacuzzi Junior Suite with nice hot tub next to the bed

Miinukset: Construction Noise

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, erikoinen, paljon taidetta,mukava henkilökunta

Miinukset: Allas ja koko alue (katolla)hyvin alttiina säällä, varsinkin tuulet. Osa taide-ratkaisuista vei pohjan käytön helppoudelta.

Plussat: Location was great, price was great. Clean hotel. Great staff. If you want to be in the middle of the town with great access to everything this is a good place to stay

Miinukset: There is nothing that I didn’t like about this hotel. It was perfect for what we needed.

Plussat: I loved the breakfast, lots of fresh fruit, delicious cheeses, fish, veggies and amazing pastries. The coffee is rather poor and the service seems a little annoyed. They serve you coffee or tea as soon as you’re seated but after that they kind of expect you to not bother them again.

Miinukset: I really didn’t like my room: dark, no place to put my things in the bathroom, no bathtub and very poor privacy for the toilet. When I asked for a room change, they would only upgrade against surcharge...which I understand if the place is well booked and high season but otherwise....

Plussat: Perfect location, close to the old town and also to the new parts of the city. Service and our treatment was exceptional

Plussat: All was perfect simply a gourgeours hotel, loved everything about it, stayed in room 214 Junior suite 5***

Plussat: Huone oli tosi hiljainen, ei kuulunut naapurihuoneista mitään. Sijainti on paras mahdollinen, palvelu oli erinomaista, aamupala loistava, sängyt tosi mukavat ym.

Miinukset: Valaistus oli ehkä liian automaattinen ja wc+ suihkutilassa oli yhteinen ovi!

Plussat: Very comfortable and close to the ocean. The cleaning staff is a bit strange and the staff at the restaurant is not so really friendly. The reception was excellent!

Plussat: Aamiainen oli kaikinpuolin erinomainen.

Plussat: Huippuaamiainen! Hyvä sijainti, siisti ja kiva kokonaisuus. Ihana merinäköala. Myös auton sai parkkiin hotellin pihaan tai talliin.

Miinukset: Sauna ei ollut päällä luvattuina aikoina klo 10-19. Se piti kuulemma erikseen pyytää, mutta tästä kerrottiin meille vasta loman puolivälissä. Lisäksi sängyn muovinen patjan- ja tyynynsuoja hiosti ja haittasi nukkumista.

Plussat: The pillows , location, the room, the breakfast selection, Susana at the front desk.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Breakfast was exellent, with a good range of food on offer. Good coffee ,juice, and sparkling wine. Evening meals were buffet style with a wide choice . You could also have fish or meat cooked to order. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotless.

Miinukset: Lack of storage in the room .

Plussat: Quality of hotel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious, comfortable rooms. Great breakfast, plenty of choice. Relaxing, quiet pool area. Stunning views from the rooftop bar. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: Only criticism- a large family with lots of children in the roof top bar altering the quiet, peaceful, romantic atmosphere. (It's an adults only hotel.)

Plussat: I like this hotel. It has friendly staff and is really clean and well decorated. Breakfast is very nice too. It's in a good place amongst the other tourist hotels with lots of other facilities around and close enough to both Funchal and Camara De Lobos if you fancy a walk.

Miinukset: The rooms on one side of the hotel are a little bit noisy for enoying the balcony but the pool and rooftop bar make up for that I'd say.

Plussat: The location it is very friendly! Have parking place very good and complete facilities are perfect for nice holidays. A plus it is the Bar on the roof with a nice panorama!

Plussat: Beds were v comfortable, shower was really v good, maid service in room v good, towels being changed etc,, no complaints. Pool area and pool v clean. Excellent breakfasts , plenty of choice

Miinukset: No hooks for dressing gowns in bathroom, no washing line in bathroom for wet swimsuits. Lack of drawers for clothes. Safe was ok but I had to sit on the floor to use it as it was so low

Plussat: The views, the pool, the staff, it was all good :)

Miinukset: Two single mattresses put together as one double bed

Plussat: Check in and out very good reception staff very nice

Miinukset: Not enough parasols around pool. Pool rules not being policed ie glasses around pool. Breakfast could be better ie sausage bacon very greasy

Plussat: cheap dinner

Miinukset: The worst hotel in Funchal, definitely the ugliest

Plussat: We enjoyed the ocean and Funchal view from our balcony. The bus station, the ocean, and the supermerkat was nearby. The hotel was about 30 minutes on foot from the center. It is a good level 3 starts hotel for good prize.

Miinukset: The building from outside is looking not nice. Little big noisy.

Plussat: The breakfast was pretty good. The room was clean and had a balcony, which was nice.

Miinukset: The hotel building itself does not look that nice. It was also a tiny bit far from the centre.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and convenient location. I felt that it was good value for the money I paid and the staff did all they could to make me welcome

Miinukset: It looks old fashioned from the outside,heavy blue tiles. The room I stayed in, although quite spacious, was rather dark, due to the fact that the shutters had no catches to keep them open.

Plussat: Paras tapaamani henkilökinta, miellyttävä vastaanotto, avulias . huoneet pidetään siistinä,

Miinukset: Hotelli ulkoisesti vanhahko ja osin jopa rapautunut. remontin tarpeessa...Huoneet siistit, pienet ja hieman ankeat.Ikkunoissa ei eristeitä joten kadun puolen huoneissa melu voimakasta.

Plussat: Breakfast choice good. Gym excellent

Miinukset: Storage and drawer space in room

Plussat: Excellent view, quiet neighbourhood, super service

Miinukset: Nothing to mention

Plussat: Quiet, great views, wonderful outside pool, wide range of food.

Miinukset: Could do with a map of the site and better signage- it was hard to find various facilities. Staff at evening meal were too keen to clear plates etc away - felt rushed and wouldn’t allow us to eat outside in evening - without explanation as to why.

Plussat: Nice stay at New Year's Eve with stunning views over Funchal. Everything was perfect with only one bad experience: an unfriendly staff member at the reception who did not listen before giving answers and who seemed to be mostly interested in our money. Not nice and not in line at all with what we experienced in ultrafriendly Portugal sofar!

Miinukset: See above

Plussat: Incredible view ! Very good and rich breakfast , nice, frendly staff, very clean rooms. The bus shuttle from the hotel was really helpfull. Usefull tip : If you do not get to the hotel by taxi and you take the aerobus i do not recommend that you walk to the hotel if you have a big luggage, google maps will take you to very narrow streets that you have to climb (almost 45 degrees angle). Use the google maps route that includes aerobus and bus no.45 that will leave you next to the hotel. For sure, the next time we get to Madeira we shall stay here, we loved it !

Plussat: The hotel has a great view on the city of Funchal.

Plussat: We appreciated the welcoming friendly, and very helpful staff. Great breakfast, superb view from our spacious room with balcony. Great grounds to relax in a with two large heated pools and everything very clean. The complimentary bus to and from the city centre proved invaluable.

Miinukset: Direction to and from pool could have been clearer. Other than that everything perfect.

Plussat: We throughly enjoyed being guests at the Madeira Panoramico for a week during January. We were warmly met by the charming and helpful staff. Our room was immaculate with a spacious balcony and lovely views across Madeira. It's a peaceful spot, removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The housekeeping was superb; it was great to return to a spotless room every day after long walks up mountains and along levadas! Breakfast was always excellent with a huge choice on offer - and we particularly enjoyed eating on the terrace during warm and sunny mornings. We were happy to walk down into the city centre (about twenty minutes) - though there is an hourly courtesy bus running during the day if required. We used a public bus to return uphill again, often in the evenings, with a very convenient bus stop right outside the hotel. This is an excellent base to explore Madeira and we appreciated the ease of car parking and the fact that it was convenient to access the main highways from the hotel. We used the indoor swimming pool and hot tub - but it wasn't quite warm enough (for us!) to trial the beautiful outdoor pool with its stunning views! We also visited the Cocktail Bar which offers entertainment in the evenings. Above all, this hotel is a very friendly place and the staff are all cheerful, happy and keen to help.

Miinukset: It's a minor issue, but more power sockets in the room would have been appreciated. With cameras and phones requiring recharge - and the kettle (a hospitality tray is available on request)- rather a lot of plugging and unplugging was required!

Plussat: Very clean Great view on Funchal Parking available Great breakfast Amazing pools

Plussat: Loved everything at this hotel. Room was very comfortable and clean and shower excellent. Breakfast very good. Salvador restaurant also excellent. Free shuttle bus into city very easy and taxis also reasonable cost. Staff were all very welcoming and helpful.

Plussat: Location. Swimming pool. Gardens

Miinukset: The room was too hot and the fan too noisy. Could not sleep properly. Also staff at breakfast was a bit rude. Just assumed no guest could understand Portuguese and were rude about a colleague and guests. Including me an my partner. It was mainly one member of staff. Although one of the receptionist was not very polite either.

Plussat: A hotel of great character with beautiful gardens and with both garden and sea view rooms available. Set around the buildings of a Quinta and linked by lift and bridge to a sea level sister hotel with level access to the Marina. The location is perfect to access both Funchal centre and the Reid’s hotel area on foot. It is close to useful bus stops, and to the many boat trip providers and restaurants of the marina. 10 minutes to the Marina and 40 minutes to the cable cars at a gentle walking pace. There are two pools and sun terraces to enjoy (one salt water with direct access to sea bathing too) with hotel staff who are approachable and show kindness beyond mere courtesy. Breakfast is a varied, delicious spread and the rooms are comfortable and well air conditioned with black out lining to curtains making for a comfortable sleep.

Miinukset: Very little. A couple of elements that UK customers may be more used to being free: Tea and coffee facilities are provided in the room, though unless you provide your own bags/sachets replacement provisions are charged for. Similarly the safe has key rather than entry code and is charged at €8 per week.

Plussat: - nice room - good parking lot - good breakfast

Miinukset: - rude personnel at reception (not replying when said hello, asking « why are you here? » when you come to check in) - main pool needs to be modernized - everything looks stingy (e.g. sign in the breakfast area asking to not take away food, tiny plates and glasses as if it would make you take smaller quantities...)

Plussat: Swimming pool and access to the sea.

Plussat: Pieni viihtyisä hotelli, erinomainen sijainti. Aamiainen monipuolinen ja paikkakin meren äärellä. Majoituspaikkani oli siis Quinta da Penha de Mar, joka sijatsee rannassa. Parvekkeelta esteetön merinäköala. Kannattaa pyytää huone toisesta tai kolmannesta kerroksesta.

Miinukset: Bookingcomin sivuilla mainitaan, että ilmoittautua voi kummassa hotellissa vain, mutta kun taksi vei minut De Francaan, en voinutkaan siellä kirjautua sisään, vaan kirjautuminen oli de Marissa. Pieni matka kujan toisella puolella, jonne sain oppaan mukaan laukkua kantamaan. Tämä nyt ei siis varsinainen epäkohta, mutta jos varaa huoneen merinäköalalla, niin kannattaa pyytää kuljetus suoraan tuonne de Marin puolelle. siellä on omavastaanotto.

Plussat: The location was okay, if you like bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: I booked an attic room with a view for an extra price., and they put us in a ground floor room with no view. I told them this is the wrong room, and the man said this room is better. Well I would hate to see the other room (which cost more). The staff were extremely rude, and couldn’t care. The air conditioner could not be used as it poured water from unit on the wall. The room was flooding, so we had to sleep in the room with no air conditioner, and it was very hot, so we really didn’t keep at all. The windows did not have security screens, so could not be left open. The two single beds were very old and uncomfortable, as they were rock hard. The pillows were heavy and hard. There was an automatic air freshener in the room, and the chemical spray was emitted every five minutes. We had to put this outside, or else we would have been breathing in the chemical all night. We only stayed in this place for one night as our previous 5 star accommodation did not have a vacancy for this last night. Otherwise I would have moved to another hotel, as this was unbearable. We did not have the included breakfast because it is not available until 0730, and we had an early flight. There was mould in the bathroom tiles. The whole place needs some attention, and the staff need to realise who is paying their account. I would in no way recommend this place to anyone, as it was the worst hotel I have ever been into.

Plussat: Breakfast was a buffet, which was staffed in case you needed assistance, which you could eat inside or, more popularly, on the terrace overlooking the ocean. There was plenty of choice (hot and cold), a large selection of tea, coffee, chocolate, milk and other varieties (such as decaf, herbal and mint tea, loose leaf), breads (which you could toast) and spreads. We enjoyed the fruit selections and pastries in particular.

Miinukset: There wasn't anything we didn't enjoy.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good location, right next to the port. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: Most of the staff were attentive and friendly (particularly the kitchen/breakfast ladies who were very kind), however the receptionist, Antonio Teixeira, was unfortunately by far the most unprofessional person we have ever met working in hospitality. Not worth going into the details, but his level of distain for guests and sheer rudeness was genuinely shocking.

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable. Very friendly feel unlike the large chains which surround it. Great bar on the side which was very reasonable and served great cocktails with a discount for hotel guests. I was travelling on my own but was made to feel very welcome and safe. Very good value for money, I will definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Nothing I didn’t like.

Plussat: Olemme asuneet tässä hotellissa yli 10 kertaa 15 vuoden aikana, HARMI että TUI "kaappasi" Finnamatkat ja TUI sitten siirsi herinäkuussa varatun ja varausmaksun jälkeen lentomme päivää 2 päivän 'varoituksella' ! Toinen HARMITTAVA asia oli että Booking com. sivulla oli joko väärin suomennettu tai mistä sitten johtuikin ? että emme tienneet että MAR -puiolen uima-allas on kokonaan pois käytöstä, Booking com sivun mukaan joulunaikana se on käytössä ja silloin kun ei ole saa 10% alennuksen. Emme saaneet, mutta tutussa hotellissa emme motkota koska vika EI ollut heidän ja tietysti pääsimme siltaa pitkin toiseen altaaseen. Pool Staff palveli 150 prosenttisesti kuten koko henkilökunta ! Vika EI ole koskaan hotellin väessä vaan kaikissa 'pakollisissa' välikäsissä ! Meillä on siellä kymmenien ihmisten ystäviksi muodostunut porukka, useimmat käyneet 20 tai 30 kertaa. Missähän muualla vastaavaa ?

Miinukset: Sen kerroin edellisessä vastauksessani. Altaan remontti valmistuu tammikuussa, se puuttuu edellisestä !

Plussat: Good size bathroom and comfortable bed. Satellite TV channels covering quite a few European languages. Nice to be on a flat part of the Island close to the Marina made it much easier to walk. If you went over the bridge from the sea view rooms to the garden hotel section you were very close to a good range of restaurants and bars which we enjoyed. The pool staff were great at making sure everything and everybody was looked after. The majority of the staff we had dealings with were all fantastic.

Miinukset: Having breakfast on the sea view room side of the hotel. It would be nice if the tables were set out for breakfast. It was a bit like camping having to bring everything you needed to the table yourselves. It’s only a little thing but a nicety that would make guests feel appreciated. We used the pool area quite a lot whilst on holiday but one thing could be improved is having mattresses on the sunloungers They were not very comfortable. Alternatively a few more chairs around the pool. They were sadly lacking.
