Barcelo Funchal Oldtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Barceló Funchal Old Town! The hotel was spotless, the staff were incredible, and the rooftop pool was a highlight. We loved being right in the heart of Funchal, just a short walk from the marina, restaurants, shops, atms, etc… and an easy ride to the airport. My only small complaint was that our room felt a little warm and humid at times. Everything else was wonderful, and I’d happily stay here again."

Savoy Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature

10/10 Excellent

"The Savoy Palace was absolutely amazing in every way - from the decor, cleanliness, style, ambiance, the grounds, the customer service to the food! Every single employee that we encountered showed such professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The front desk made sure we had everything we needed, made excellent dining recommendations and answered every question we had. We had our 6-year-old with us and as soon as she stepped into the Kids Club/playroom she wanted to come back every day. Not only was the playroom beautiful, it was also clean. Anna & Beatriz from the kids’ playroom were so nurturing, kind and were the reason our daughter wanted to come back every day. They were amazing! We LOVED everything about the Savoy Palace and truly elevated our Madeira stay! We didn’t want to leave!"

Allegro Madeira - Adults Only - Member of Barceló Hotel Group

10/10 Excellent

"We had a truly wonderful stay here. On the days we weren't out for a hike, we loved making the most of the outdoor pool, and the sauna was really pleasant too. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a brilliant selection, and the rooftop bar offers cracking views in the evening. Honestly, though, the staff were the real highlight—everyone at reception was super helpful and went the extra mile to look after us. Management should be chuffed to bits with the team. Would definitely recommend."

The Editory Garden Carmo Funchal

10/10 Excellent

"The small gym was empty both times I went, which was great for me. I never saw anyone swimming in the gorgeous pool, possibly because it’s not very hot this time of year. Staff at reception very helpful. Located extremely close to restaurants and shops. Only thing I didn’t like was breakfast. They have 2 coffee machines that maybe fancy drinks which were great, but the food selection wasn’t appetizing. It was on par with a normal hotel continental breakfast."

Porto Mare Hotel, by PortoBay

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous hotel stay. Large room with very comfortable beds, house keeping excellent, breakfast very good with excellent hot and cold food choices. Amazing pool with various sunbathing areas and sufficient loungers. Good snack bar for lunches and drinks by pool. Good indoor pool with sauna and steam room. Walkable into old town, with supermarket, and good bars and restaurants in local vicinity."

Sé Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Se' Boutique for eight nights and were very pleased with our choice. It's perfectly located immediately behind the Cathedral in central Funchal. Everything is a convenient walking distance, including a large number of wonderful restaurants. The breakfast was a full English breakfast, including more breads and pastries than I could count. They had delicious flan most days, eggs, bacon, cereals, etc. We looked forward to it each morning. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We hope to return to Madeira and will definitely stay at Se' Boutique."

Castanheiro Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is just about perfect, right in the centre of historical Funchal, a few minutes from the cathedral and ten minutes from the cable car up to Monte. Nice, spacious room, even had proper studio kitchen facilities and gear to go with it. Good view from the roof top, and great breakfast offering. Very helpful staff, even provided recommendations on dealing with a flu that was starting to make its presence known. And we were allowed to utilise the spa in the afternoon after checking out on the day of departure."
