Dorisol Estrelicia Hotel Reviews

🚘🛏️ Though it’s far from a five star, I’d say this is a solid three star hotel that gradually grew on us over our three night stay. First impressions were rough. The parking situation was unclear and frustrating, the breakfast was disappointing, and the room itself left a lot to be desired. Our first night’s sleep was terrible, with the wind constantly banging the windows. The shower was stained, and the showerhead couldn’t even stay in place. After reporting these issues, the staff claimed the hotel was fully booked and couldn’t move us, but they did quickly send maintenance to fix most of the problems. Surprisingly, the breakfast got better over the following days. It seemed like there was a different chef on duty which made a noticeable difference. Still, while inconsistent, it was enough to get us going each morning. The biggest issue worth flagging is the confusing and limited parking situation. The staff say you need to reserve a €7 per day parking spot well in advance. Otherwise, they point you to free street parking overnight, but in our case, we couldn’t find any spots. If you’re planning to park your rental car here, make sure to book parking ahead of time or try arriving later in the afternoon to improve your chances of finding street parking nearby. All in all, nothing spectacular. But if you’re looking for a lower end apartment stay in Funchal, it could be a decent option.

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

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.

We booked a triple room 3 beds last min with late bird price. However they gave us double room 2 beds. It's on the 1st floor just next to tennis court which is quite noisy. It's 31 degree F, no air conditioner. Only 1 tiny window can be opened for fresh air but its facing a foot path with many guests access to the indoor pool, gym...etc. Not enough privacy. Location is ok as many small supermarkets, restaurants and bus stops near by within walking distance. Hotel facilities are good for the price.

Overall good value for money. However, there could be some amenities provided in the room. Helpful staff. The staff in the dining area are very good.

Rooms comfortable showers good restaurant service very good parking ample, very good location.

The hotel is located in a good area. Close to restaurants, beaches or boardwalk. Breakfast is decent, and the room was clean. A bit old mattress, and the furniture as well. Considering the paid price, I would say the hotel delivers the right services.

Good location , but hotel definitely need some refreshments

Nice hotel. Rooms were clean and recently renovated.

Very nice hotel.

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

Hotel well located a little far from the old city center but pleasant place with restaurants around. The welcome is simple but available at any time of the day or night. The small downside is the soundproofing of the rooms and the comfort of the bedding, which is much too soft for my taste. Otherwise there is entertainment almost every evening at the hotel bar, it’s nice and the waiters are adorable.

A bit far from the center. But good cleaning. Very varied breakfast. Pool and jacuzzi that comes in handy when you return from excursions. The views from the terraces are spectacular, especially at night. buses very close

The hotel staff, the view from the balcony on the 10th floor and the breakfast were excellent!
