3-Star Hotels in Funchal

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

My daughter and I spent an amazing week in Madeira and at the Greco hotel. The hotel is located right in the centre of Funchal, next to a Continente supermarket - very handy. About 10 min on foot from the Promenade, the beach and the bus stops. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean, quiet, with comfy beds and comfy bathroom. The breakfast was sufficient, with amazing coffee. The hotel boasts a really pleasant roof terrace - perfect for stargazing or just relaxing in the evening. A massive credit goes to the Staff - all very friendly, very helpful, always smiling and polite. I think this hotel has become our favourite in the Sé area of Funchal and we will definitely be back.

We stayed at this hotel twice and have booked it again. It’s a budget-friendly place in the very centre of Funchal. It has everything we need really - the rooms are spacious, there’s always hot water in the shower, the rooms are cleaned every day. Faultless, fast WiFi (crucial if you are working remotely or travelling with a teen). Massive kudos to the amazing staff - they are very friendly and courteous. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Funchal or getting to other places in Madeira.

The location is great. But just in advance to provide a room with an ocean view, however, they gave a view of the courtyard. Breakfast is normal. At check-in, they did not give a complimentary glass of wine, as they gave to all guests. Even though I arrived late, I expected a glass - this is a sign of attention to the guest. The pool has a gorgeous view of the Grand Marina. Also, there was not even a bottle of drinking water in the room, this is also a mess.

Located in the heart of Funchal. There is a very beautiful park nearby. From the window there is a view of the church. Breakfast buffet is standard, coffee is disgusting. There is a lot of audibility in the room. Everything else is great. I'm happy.

We have just returned from a week in the Florasol. As per my title, had the room been more comfortable I would have easily given this a 5 star review. The hotel is clean and tidy, the staff work hard and the breakfast options are great. Unfortunately though every night of our holiday was ruined by the fact there was no air conditioning in the room. The daily temperatures outside were 29°-30° and very humid. The bedroom does have a ceiling fan which was nice and I'm sure this will be the reason why there aren't more complaints, but when the apartment is shared by a family of 4, 2 people end up in the lounge where we had a sofa bed and z bed. The temperature was incredible, absolutely no air flow made sleeping difficult. We had to keep the balcony door open overnight which resulted in being eaten alive by mosquitos every night!! I can understand the financial implications of an old hotel having to install air conditioning in every room but as an absolute minimum there should be fans or portable air con units in the room. I don't think I can return to this hotel on this issue alone, I can only describe my feelings toward this as disgust. Other than that, the hotel is ideally situated outside of Funchal centre in a tourist zone that has massive choice of restaurants and bars. We hired a car for 3 days, be aware the hotel does have a small car park at the rear but you need to really be returning to the hotel no later than 15. 00 if you want to secure a space or you will have to fine off street parking. With so many cars on the island this will be difficult. Madeira has seen a tenfold increase in hire cars over the last few years and it's apparent that it is causing issues. But, at least there is some provision for parking and it's free, something which alot of hotels don't provide at all which is good. Other points of note - there are only 2 small lifts for the building, quite often you will wait a while as they are in use regularly by other guests and also staff moving around the building, you may get a better view on a high floor but the view on the 5th and 6th floor is still great and it allows you to use the stairs to access the pool and restaurant on the 4th floor rather than spending time waiting for lifts that always seem to be busy and full. The pool attendant hoses down poolside every morning and works hard, however I did find the practice of hosing the sun lounger cushions bizarre, the older ones in particular just turn into a giant sponge, often at 2 or 3pm, they are still absolutely soaked and unusable. There aren't enough umbrellas on the poolside so you need to get one early, and you will see several ignorant people unnecessarily hoarding them, sometimes 2-3 umbrellas each for 2-3 beds. It's totall ridiculous, especially when they can see families with young children struggling to find shade. But at least you don't have the clowns here that reserve sunbeds at 7am then leave the hotel, the pool attendant will se

I stayed for 2 weeks. Had been there before. Had room 516 with small balcony. Some rooms on one side of hotel are facing a new extension with no view. Just had breakfast only. Plenty of choice. Very bright dining room 6th floor with views over the city to the sea and up to the mountains. Has large sun area on roof above dining room. Friendly cheerful staff. Internet access and computer desk for guests. Very busy hotel. Hotel is uphill from city. No parking space, but lots of underground car parks nearby. I used Parque 5 de Outubro on street of same name €4 per day. Ony 4 or 5 minutes walk from hotel. You have a pass to go in and out any time of day or night. There are others nearby. There is a car park in Rua dos Netos €6 per day. Along the Rua dos Netos there is a small corner shop selling a bit of everything. Drinks, wine, fruit bread etc. Busses pass near hotel going to Monte etc. Get a GIRO card 50c and have journeys put on card €1.35 each €1.95 on bus. Bus to Monte Nos. 21 & 22.

Não tem tomadas para carregar os telefones. Tem apenas uma na casa de banho e outra onde está ligado o frigorífico. O pequeno almoço é mau. Provavemente dos piores que já vi. Este comentário não é esquisitice, é mesmo mau. Podia falar da falta de oferta ou de qualidade dos produtos, mas não é só isso. Há falta de limpeza, quando comecei a pegar na loiça senti nojo. A loiça estava toda suja e molhada. Estava uma empregada a lavar a loiça à mão quase ao lado dos clientes e a dar-lhes a loiça ainda toda molhada pois não há que chegue para os clientes. Quanto à falta de qualidade, até o pão é mesmo mau, algo tão simples que não se percebe. Da variedade nem falo, tem o minimo dos minimos de um pequeno almoço português (de internacional não tem nada). O ar condicionado do quarto não funcionava bem. Quanto à cama, o colchão estava muito velho e é possível ver uma foto do colchão em anexo, fala por si. O quarto não tinha chaleira. A luz da casa de banho funcionava mal. Nota-se uma falta de interesse do hotel em evoluir e melhorar pequenas coisas que não requerem grande investimento e que iriam melhorar bastante a qualidade da estadia dos clientes. A localização é ótima, mesmo no centro e ao lado de um supermercado. Funcionários simpáticos. ---- There are no outlets to charge phones. There is only one in the bathroom and another where the refrigerator is plugged in. The breakfast is bad. Probably one of the worst I've ever seen. This comment is not picky, it is genuinely bad. I could talk about the lack of options or the quality of the products, but it's not just that. There is a lack of cleanliness; when I started picking up the dishes, I felt disgusted. The dishes were all dirty and wet. There was an employee washing the dishes by hand almost right next to the customers and giving them the dishes still all wet because there weren't enough for the customers. As for the lack of quality, even the bread is really bad, something so simple that it's hard to understand. I won't even mention the variety; it has the bare minimum for a Portuguese breakfast (nothing international at all). The air conditioning in the room didn't work well. As for the bed, the mattress was very old, and you can see a picture of the mattress attached, which speaks for itself. The room didn't have a kettle. The bathroom light was malfunctioning. There is a noticeable lack of interest from the hotel in evolving and improving small things that do not require significant investment and that would greatly improve the quality of the guests' stay. The location is great, right in the center and next to a supermarket. Friendly staff.

The hotel is in Lido area with plenty of restaurants and small super markets near by. Only 3 mins walk to bus top where can bring you to City Center €1.95 single one way and airport. €5 single one way, €8 return. Walking to City center is about 20-30mins. Only 10mins walk to Forum Madeira shopping mall. Breakfast is good with many choices of fruit, salad, yogurt, ham, eggs, bread, cereals. Indoor, outdoor pool and gym are nice too. We stay in sea and swimming pool view studio with kitchenette. The balcony is wonderful. Staffs are polite and patient. Only one con, no air conditioning in 31 degrees. Only have a ceiling fan.

We spend 8 days at the apartments and loved it. The rooms are a nice size, with most of what you need to self cater. We would often pop down to the mini supermarket/bar/café for a coffee/ pastry/beer/wine/water... The staff were friendly and the rooms made up every day, with towels changed every other day and bedding every 4th day. The aforementioned was very clean. A nice walk into Funchal or along the promonaide in the other direction. Walking to the far end of Funchal was about 25 minutes. Beds were single beds, but easy to push together. You get pots,pan, plates, kettle, cork screw, cutlery, but don't forget washing up liquid and cloth. Small gel and shampoo supplied. Beach towels were extra to hire. Rooms have no air conditioning, not that we needed it. It felt pretty special in Funchal with everything Christmas still on display and all lit up in the evening until Sunday 8th Jan when it was all packed away. Hired a car from Madpoint (Recommend them!!) In the local shopping mall, for a couple of days which allows you to visit most of the island. The apartments were really good value. Overall an excellent experience
