Funchal hotellit lähellä Town Square

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: Location was excellent. Staff were really obliging. Breakfast was limited but decent.

Plussat: Very good location, nice and friendly staff, not overcrowded, good breakfast, very clean, nice historical building.

Miinukset: We have booked the 'Economic Twin room' which was facing a busy street, the noise level was so high that we could not sleep until 4 am. Next day we have decided that we will move to another hostel, we did not get any refund for the remaining nights as the receptionist said that the "City View" and "Econimic" mentioned in our booking clearly states that the room facing to the noisy street. The hostel itself is nice, just be super careful which room you book.

Plussat: Breakfast was great, bacon and eggs, bread, jams, cereal, fruit and tea, coffee and juice. The free cake every day was the best! Excellent location in the old town for exploring Funchal, was only a short walk to many attractions.

Miinukset: The floorboards were very creaky and it was often quite noisy at night, even if people weren't making much noise themselves, but we got used to it quickly. Light sleepers might struggle, though.

Plussat: The stuff was very friendly and helpful. We had some troubles in our dorm but the woman at the reception was very kind. There was tea, coffee and even selfmade cake available at any hour. The location was perfect (close to the beach, next to restaurants and just opposite of the cable car)

Miinukset: There were some issues about our dorm so I couldn't sleep for one night (as the man at the emergency phone told us just to wait until the next morning)

Plussat: The place is clean, tidy, spacious, friendly stuff, free fruits and cookies at the kitchen

Miinukset: If you have room with has windows to the street prepare not to sleep in the night and be disturbed by loud piano music from the restaurant downstairs at 8am

Plussat: very friendly staff, cleaning service (which I wasn't expecting), good breakfast, perfect location, clean bathrooms.

Miinukset: pack the earplugs with you, in case your room will located on street side (there are lot of bars and restaurants under the hostel).

Plussat: Was perfect. Homemade cake and fruits for free everyday. Always super clean. Location awesome. More than perfect for the price

Miinukset: Everything was ok

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä, majoituspaikka monipuolinen (täysvarusteltu keittiö yhteiskäytössä, ihana ullakkohengailutila, hyvä aamupala, kiva sisäpiha jne.), sijainti loistava

Miinukset: Huoneissa saattaa olla kuuma helteellä, sillä meidän huoneessamme ei ainakaan ollut ilmastointia, eikä parvekeovea olisi maantasokerroksen vuoksi voinut pitää yöllä tai poissaollessa auki. Sänkyjen alla oli pölyä, vaikkakin muuten huone oli siisti.

Plussat: The staff was really helpful and friendly and the bathrooms were incredibly clean. It was also in the middle of old town Funchal, super close to everything! I also loved that this hostel was quiet and not a party hostel.

Miinukset: It wold be even better if the front desk staff gave us personal tips and recommendations rather than just give us a bunch of brochures!

Plussat: The building itself, nice rooms, kitchen, good breakfast

Miinukset: Location was nice, but our room was oriented into the most busy riad in Funchal. The windows and also the floor were not 'sound proof' at all. So we heard everything and could not sleep. Next day we bought ear plugs from the staff, which helped. Knowing this in advance, we would probably choose a different location. It is a shame, because the hostel was very nice, clean with very helpful staff.

Plussat: Sijainti! Hintaan mukaan huippu.

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: Location, the view and size of hotel.

Miinukset: Furniture in the room to old.

Plussat: The view from my room Room NO 417

Miinukset: Non comfortable bed Old old bath towels

Plussat: Brilliant view!

Miinukset: Limited room service menu for those of us that like to explore through the day then kick back and relax on the balcony in the evening.

Plussat: The staff was nice.

Miinukset: Beds were hard. Carpets in rooms were worn out. Noisy. Bathtub shower curtain was annoying. Pancakes at breakfast buffet were not good at all! Chocolate mousse dessert tasted like a a cheap powder book mix... NOT caseira “homemade”!!

Plussat: The breakfast. The swimming area. The rooms are nice.

Miinukset: The noise travels

Plussat: The location of the Hotel is very good, and the view is even better. I have to commend the staff as they were very helpful and acted genuine and professional!

Miinukset: The breakfast choices are pretty varied although they could improve and the salad could also be better. The pool area is nice but the ocean cannot be heard and probably due to the age distribution no music is played either; this leaves relaxing to be accompanied by the humming sounds of the water filtering unit.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent (extremely fresh pastry, nice selection, medium coffee)! We were very generously given an upgrade for our room which made our stay even more confortable (given we had a 2-year old and we were given a room with direct access to the pool, it made her stay special!) Check-in staff and general pool/restaurant staff were exceptional!

Plussat: Personal very kindly quiet place

Miinukset: Food horrible

Plussat: Pool area and pool bar food.

Miinukset: Staff a bit abrupt.

Plussat: We were there in June and everything was excellent. From the staff friendliness and service to the food offered at breakfast and in their restaurants. I do suggest one tries out their fish and chips at the pub it was delicious. We were there on bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast buffet included a vast selection of food and drinks as well. The spa also offers amazing massages - tried and tested. I would totally recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madeira and planning on going round Funchal as it has a prominent location. Well done to all at the hotel!

Plussat: Aamupala hyvä. Uima allas tilat siistit ja tarpeeksi isot

Miinukset: Kylpyhuone haisi viemärille tuuletuksen ollessa päivällä päällä. Henkilökunta respassa saisi olla huomioivampaa, kaikilla oli liian kiire ja hymy oli kortilla. Vähän kulahtaneet paikat julkisissa tiloissa eli näkyvissä että 1072 rakennettu hotelli.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli mainio ja monipuolinen. Hotellin sijainti oli erinomainen.

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.

Plussat: I’m very happy to stay in this hotel. I can recommend it for everyone

Plussat: Pool area and gardens beautiful Room airy and comfortable Breakfast, excellent choice and plenty

Miinukset: Paying 2.50 a day for the safe, but Wi-Fi was free so it is only a very small moan

Plussat: Aamupalalla oli monipuolinen valikoima.

Miinukset: Huoneeseen kuului paljon melua iltaisin. Tosin viereisessä huoneessa oli nuorisoa?

Plussat: Beautiful hotel and an amazing amount of diverse trees and flowers. A very friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: No air conditioning in the section of the hotel that we stayed in, but the room was spacious and had an amazing view.

Plussat: The place was great, and I wish I knew the staff members name for special thanks, but I was a bit sick and a lovely women helped with booking a doctors appointment and just caring!

Plussat: bREAKFAST EXCELLENT. LOCATION A LITTLE FAR OUT

Plussat: Since we were on our honeymoon we got an upgrade to a junior suite! They probably don’t do this every time but it was amazing to have a whole suite to ourselves. The staff was very friendly! The pool was nice and there was some live music on the weekend.

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet was really crowded. BUT if you come early enough it’s quiet and the food is extra fresh.

Plussat: Fantastic garden and comfortable rooms. The furniture was according to a lot of reviews old, but that wasn’t the case, they are simply treated to look antique which we thought was a nice touch. Walking distance to the center and a lot of good restaurants just around the corner.

Plussat: Beakfast was diversified.

Miinukset: Cofee could be improved.

Plussat: Loistava ja monipuolinen buffetaamiainen. Upea puutarha. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Rauhallinen sijainti ja sopiva etäisyys keskustaan. Lähellä ravintoloita ja supermarketteja. Hotelli sopii myös lapsiperheille.

Miinukset: Musiikki kuului iltaisin ravintolasta huoneeseemme. Tosin soitto lakkasi klo 22-23.

Plussat: Nice and clean pool with a big bar. Nice location. Helpful stuff. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful garden with a lot of birds around the hotel (like in every place on Madiera :) ). WiFi was good.

Miinukset: Average quality breakfast. What's worse is a relatively small selection, and every day is the same. So, for example, for a week's stay, It's big a minus. Smoking on the room's balcony is allowed so if Your neighbor is smoking than You have a smoke smell in the room. We've got this problem and it was solved by transferring us (not smoker) to another room. Unfortunately, the new one was from the street, not pool side so noise in the early morning was quite big. Swimming pool chairs uncomfortable.
