Top 5 Hotel in Funchal

Estrada Monumental 147, 9004-532 Funchal, Portugal

“An excellent 5 star hotel. Could not fault it. The facilities are spotlessly clean , well appointed and comfortable. The pools are heated and staff are very helpful. Restaurants are 5 star quality, with price to match. It lacks a …”

“This hotel exceeded all expectations. We booked directly with them so meant we got a superior room. We ended up having a suite. It was such a lovely spacious room with stylish decor in keeping with the history of the place. The facilities, …”

“We didn't stay here, but my parents did and we visited them while they were there. Its quite a small hotel and the rooms and bathrooms are also, shall we say, compact. As many reviews on Trip Advisor have mentioned, the hanging space for clothes is above a dressing table/ desk so clothes are literally hanging on it if they're long. Not really ideal. You could make do for a couple of nights, but inconvenient for longer stays. No where to store suitcases so they are in the way. Pool area a reasonable size but lacking in any character. Gym was a nice surprise. Small but really nice. The gem is the rooftop bar with 360 degree views. The bar downstairs is pleasant but small. Location is outside of Funchal centre but close enough to walk comfortably enough. Easy access to sea promenade. Lots of restaurants, bars and shops close by.”

“The Pestana Miramar is in an excellent location in Funchal to enable walking either to the city centre and the promenade front or in the other direction to the Lido area. There are bus stops on the road outside the hotel to take buses in either direction, too, and the journey prices are very reasonable. The rooms are nice, though a little dated, and the service from all the staff is very friendly and very good.The buffet dinners in the A Vila restaurant are very good with plenty of choice. However, it's best to go before 9.45am for breakfast to ensure a good selection. The only 'downside' is that the indoor swimming pool - good to use in the Winter period - isn't heated and is quite cold for a swim. Overall, a very nice holiday and superb views over the island and harbour from our apartment balcony.”

“This hotel is nice, the staff are helpful and the place is clean with modern style rooms. It is in a very convenient location and is fabulous for the xmas lights which are all across the city - lots of nice restaurants around. I would say …”

“We had a wonderful stay at this delightful hotel. The food was great, consistently very good. There is a separate, high end dining, restaurant. All the staff were lovely, without exception. Highly recommended. The facilities were all there. There was a good range of activities.”

“11-13 December 2023||We spent the last days of our honeymoon at Casa Velha do Palheiro and it will always have a special place in our hearts. We were received with the warmest of welcomes by Mr. Norberto de Sousa and his fantastic team. …”

“We liked the hotel very much overall, it was nice and clean, with pleasant staff and good breakfast. The room was nice, big bed with great mattress and pillows. I liked the feeling of texture on the floor with nice design of matching tiles, window with good sound insulation, world class spa procedures, the minimalist/contemporary design of everything. What could be improved to get 6 out of 5 :) - I believe the noise on balcony from the street can be significantly lowered by applying some sound insulation to the fans of air conditioning from both ocean building (the one with "Recharge" bar) and also Royal Savoy - The tea kettle had unpleasant plastic smell - The bar uses ice cubes presumably made from tap water, which seemed desalinated - thus giving slight salty taste to all drinks - Lobby bar had ice cream on menu, but when asked, turns out it is in the other building in "recharge" bar - I wear M size pants, but I found the WC seat to be quite small”

“No way this is a 4 stars hotel !!! Hotel lobby is decently ok, and the experience with their staff was good, but the hotel rooms, our family used three of them, are very outdated, bathrooms really need a mayor improvement, A/C in room 307 dripped water the whole first night, and was repaired next day. At least 3rd floor hallway carpet is really in bad shape, stains all over, specially in front of elevator. The best mayor plus of the hotel is its location, but other than that it qualify for a low 3 stars hotel.”

“Fantastic hotel in the centre of Funchal, a 10 minute walk from the main Square. Although in the main area, it's quite quiet as in front of the hotel, there is the Scots Kirk and gardens and to the side the local park. There are no really steep hills from the main area to the hotel. The rooms aren't the largest we have been in, but are more than big enough for your stay. The rooms were cleaned every day, as was the rest of the hotel. There are lifts to every floor, including the rooftop bar. The breakfast every morning was very nice. The rooftop bar has nice views and a swimming pool. Our room No.316 faced South, so we got the sun most of the day. The staff were polite and friendly.”

“Our third visit to this most relaxing hotel set on the hillside above Funchal. Standards of accommodation and service are consistently high, all staff are so very friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed, good shower, spotlessly clean. Add …”

Estr. do Aeroporto 65, 9060-382 Funchal, Portugal

“Very nice place, but apartment building 29 smells like a cave. On the last day of the year, we had a thief in the apartment. Everything was locked so he had a key. My wallet and money were missing. There is no safe. We called the police, but there are no cameras.”

R. dos Netos 69 71, 9000-084 Funchal, Portugal

“A newish hotel on the city outskirts, 15 minute walk, uphill from the town hall. Nice foyer and restaurant. Good buffet breakfast. I stayed in a ground floor budget room, noisy and view of a concrete wall. Other rooms looked better.”

R. da Casa Branca 45, 9000-113 Funchal, Portugal

“A hotel living off the past . Careworn. Ground floor room given. No sun. No balcony. View of fence and wood stack from bedroom window one metre away. No garden view. Bed 30cm off the floor. Worn power sockets. Every time kettle switched on the lights dimmed. Will not go again”

“We had a great stay at Pestana Casino Studios on our first visit to Madeira. All the staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. We had a deluxe studio room with balcony at the back of the building overlooking the outdoor swimming …”

R. Conde Carvalhal 53, 9060-011 Funchal, Portugal

“Very pleasant stay with nice and tidy rooms. We were very pleased with the reception service - special thanks to Nuno. He proactively helped us to switch rooms despite the hotel being completely full (with the manager on the line, so special thanks to them as well). Very lovely and perfectly managed garden. A bit of walk to the city center, but with the bus stop a front of the door, so not a big deal. We would definitely stay here again next time visiting Madeira.”
