Quinta Da Penha de Franca
9.0 (40 reviews)

Quinta Da Penha de Franca ★★★★

📍 R. Imperatriz Dona Amelia 85, Sao Martinho, Funchal

"We were going on a cruise; we needed a hotel within walking distance of the port. And it exceeded expectations, we love small hotels without scurrying crowds. It is very soulful here: a large room with a window with small glazing and a frame that slides up. A door leading to a terrace. Birds singing - after all, we are in a garden. A bathroom with two sinks and a bath (so tired of uncomfortable showers!). A wonderful breakfast, where you can cut your own jamon right off your leg, home-style. The interiors are divine! They shoot this in Poirot films: fireplaces, libraries, huge bouquets of flowers, massive staircases, On the doors there are not bells, but various knockers. I want to go back."

The Vine Hotel
9.1 (113 reviews)

The Vine Hotel ★★★★★

📍 R. dos Aranhas 27, Sao Martinho, Funchal

"Great hotel, delicious breakfasts, very attentive and efficient staff"

Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel
8.2 (42 reviews)

Muthu Raga Madeira Hotel ★★★★

📍 Estrada Monumental 302, Sao Martinho, Funchal

"The rooms were nice and spacious with nice balconies on a great location. The rooms could use a renovation and be better cleaned especially in more hidden places like under the bed. The hairdryer overheated easily. The breakfast is good and varied and the staff is the best part of the hotel, super friendly!"

Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel
8.0 (47 reviews)

Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel ★★★

📍 R. da Casa Branca 98, Sao Martinho, Funchal

"The indoor pool was closed for renovations and there was construction in the hallway, resulting in a lot of noise from 8 am. The breakfast buffet was well-stocked. The cleaning staff was very friendly. Climbing the 130 steps to reach the hotel at the end of the day was tiring."

Madeira Turim Santa Maria Hotel
9.5 (50 reviews)

Madeira Turim Santa Maria Hotel ★★★★

📍 R. João de Deus 24, Funchal

"I had a great stay! I would highlight the great location, the views from the room and rooftop, excellent breakfast, and friendly staff."

9.6 (108 reviews)

The Cliff Bay - PortoBay ★★★★★

📍 Estrada Monumental 147, Sao Martinho, Funchal

"The location and views were amazing. The staff was friendly everywhere except the reception. No greeting, no smile. That alone ruined the experience of staying at this hotel. But I think it's a coincidence."

9.2 (107 reviews)

The Editory Ocean Way Funchal ★★★★★

Quinta Jardins do Lago
9.7 (34 reviews)

Quinta Jardins do Lago ★★★★★

📍 Rua Dr. João Lemos Gomes 29, Funchal

"A truly wonderful hotel. Our son had his wedding celebration there, and the efforts of the staff to ensure everything went well (they did) could not be faulted. The food was fantastic, and the wine good. Special mention to the canapés, which were exceptional. We stayed on after, and it is a good base to explore Funchal (and probably the rest of the island although we did not do so). Pool and surrounds very pleasant, and garden superb. The botanical tour is highly recommended. Level of service generally could not be faulted."

Hotel Orca Praia Hotels in Funchal

Hotel Orca Praia

"We had an incident during our stay at Hotel Orca Praia (Funchal). At arrival to the hotel, we left our luggage in the luggage storage room next to the reception. When we returned to the hotel, to access our room, my partner’s luggage had been taken by mistake by another guest who left to travel to the south of Germany. As a result of this, my partner spent 7 days (the entire holiday) without his clothes and belongings. The hotel did not acknowledge any wrong doing on their part, despite the lack of system to identify luggage at the storage room and to securely handle the luggage to their owners. My partner had to buy some clothes with our own money. The hotel director was dismissive in email communications. He showed an extremely poor customer service and lack of empathy. We did not receive an apology from their side except from one member of the reception staff. I had never had such terrible treatment as a customer. I do not think this is appropriate for a public establishment, let alone a 4-star hotel. I would never stay here again!"

"Great location But the hotel is very outdated, including its aesthetics. Mostly retirees. The breakfast food is weak, and the dinner is 3-star at best."

"Great hotel in a great location. Room was very well decorated and the bed was super comfortable, the shower was also superb. Lovely helpful staff and rooftop was lovely with an amazing view of Funchal. Only criticism was there was no bin in the bathroom and the minibar was not refilled each day.

"As always, our stay at Les Suites at The Cliff Bay was absolutely wonderful. The hotel combines elegance, comfort, and outstanding hospitality in every detail. The suites are beautiful and impeccably maintained, the atmosphere is peaceful and luxurious, and the views are breathtaking. What truly makes this property special is the exceptional staff. Every team member was warm, attentive, and highly professional. We would especially like to thank the staff of the Avista restaurant for their excellent service and genuine hospitality. Returning here always feels like coming home to a place where everything is done with care and perfection. We are already looking forward to our next visit."

"Aside from the view, which is described as partial ocean view (you actually have to lean over the balcony on the 11th floor to catch a glimpse of water), everything is fine. There's a supermarket next door, everything is very clean, and the staff are friendly."

"Hotel was clean and spacious, provided shuttle service to the city centre which was perfect. The breakfast selection was great as well"

Hotel Quinta Bela S Tiago Hotels in Funchal

Hotel Quinta Bela S Tiago

"It's a smaller boutique type of hotel in a very good location for walking into the centre of Funchal. Lovely gardens, wonderful views. Two terraces overlooking the pool and gardens. The bar terrace was bigger and this is where breakfast dinner was served. Buffet breakfast was varied and generous. Dinner menu didn't change for the two week we were there and I guess it never does, however we were staying breakfast only so this didn't bother us although we did choose to dine there three time. Food in the evening was so so, can't really recommend. Typical bar meals available during the day which were ok. All staff lovely and always very helpful. The terrace was also targeted by lots of pigeons which were quite a nuisance, even picking food off of tables. A small sign was put up asking for people not to feed the pigeons but sadly some did, which only encouraged more. We were in room 129 on the street level. On arrival we were handed a decrepit remote control which had buttons that frequently fell off. This was to control the lights in our room and on the balcony. It didn't work very well and couldn't be changed (we asked). There was only one unused electrical socket in the whole room that worked permanently. The only other one switched off with the lights. The air conditioning didn't work for three days after arrival because of a hotel wide fault. When it did work, it was centrally controlled and only operated for a few hours during the day and never at night. When it did work you couldn't change the temperature setting, only the fan speed. Sleeping as a result proved to be hot and uncomfortable. This was a major issue for us so the hotel provided a fan. It was a pedestal fan and given the location of the only socket it had to be so close to the bed that even on the slowest speed was literally pinning us to the wall - so not a solution. Room 129 was right over the kitchens. Work to prepare for breakfast started at 6 am and created a lot of noise, which woke us up every day without fail. The overall impression of the room was that it was very tired and well overdue for refurbishment. There was limited storage space - large wardrobe but only three drawers. There was a mini fridge in a cupboard but given the ambient temperature of the room it was pretty ineffective so we unplugged it, which gave us use of an extra socket. The bathroom was clean but also tired. There was always plenty of hot water - and it was scalding hot. There was an over the bath shower with a folding screen that didn't seal against the bath so flooded the floor. The was basin was cracked. The hotel had a spa in the basement. It was spread over several rooms, all of which were dimly lit and uninviting. We didn't see anyone use it in the entire time we were there. However there was a gym, jacuzzi and a steam room, so available for anyone who wanted it. The pool area was nice and a few sunbeds always seemed to be available so no need to rush down to r"

"Hotel in the very center of Funchal. Within walking distance of the center with shops and restaurants and transport. In the evening it is pleasant to walk along the embankment. Pools with sea water. Well-groomed territory."
