We only stayed for one night after a pretty horrific day in the local hospital. The staff were so accommodating and really relaxed in everything they did. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rami 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Nice clean facility. Breakfast was nice. ##### Rami Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Room was next to the kitchen therefore we had to suffer through some interminable whirring noise coming from the kitchen fan. Air conditioning was broken and the staff seemed willing to help but no solution could be provided on night number one and we unfortunately couldn't open the window due to the racket from the kitchen. They provided a fan for night number two which was cooling. We finally got a room change on night number three and the difference was noticeable, we even noticed the shower was better! It wasn't quite worth the money spent, I must admit but, staff were polite. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel with great views. Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent breakfast. Dinner was just ok. Fancy looking but not great. There are far better dining options with much better quality food at lower prices in town. You must have a car or use taxi/uber as there are no paved areas on the roads surrounding the hotel and walking is perilous. ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joey 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view from the balcony was amazing. I would visit again.

However, the facilities are old and could be upgraded (for example, lot of noise from the pipes inside the room). Overall it was nice but the price is too expensive. ##### Romain Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martine 22 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Besutiful view of the city Wonderful place with a good view of The city.

The hotel was running on skeleton staff, the facilities were mainly out of order or unusable. The breakfast was okay, and the view was stunning, but overall was a struggle given the fact it’s advertised as luxury. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dimitrios 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness The hotel itself makes a strong first impression: its hillside location is beautiful, and our room with a view was great. Unfortunately, several issues overshadowed these positives. The most concerning was housekeeping—we personally saw staff place our pillows on our dirty suitcases and then directly on the bed in front of us. This is a clear breach of hygiene and health standards. When raised at reception, two receptionists showed no understanding,only a dismissive and authoritative attitude. This reflects a lack of training, both for cleaners and front desk staff,which is disappointing since reception is the face of the hotel. Another serious incident was at breakfast. The oat porridge served tasted off,and after eating it I suffered stomach issues. We informed reception, explaining the risk of food poisoning for other guests. The response was dismissive again—they claimed it had been prepared the same day and ignored the possibility of expired milk. The jars of porridge remained at the buffet,putting other guests at risk. Although the buffet looked impressive, quality was poor. Bread was dry, pastries and desserts were far too sweet, juices were mixed and tasted artificial, and fruits lacked freshness. No alternatives were offered for dietary needs,such as non-dairy milk. Overall, while the location and views are wonderful, the lack of hygiene,training,and food safety overshadowed our stay. Managed to get a refund for parking after speaking with one reasonable receptionist ![Restaurant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0c670934-c3f9-4df6-b3e0-7612d35a3253-1756480884647.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lobby](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb90240e-32ab-4dac-bc11-1ab140961510-1756480884554.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dining at the balcony](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3de1ec76-cc76-411e-aeae-dc9370e79210-1756480884556.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the hotel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7c9a807-9b3c-4015-b6cf-ec51fce55190-1756480884335.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dimitrios Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joannes 12 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities breakfast was very good location is special, nice view on Funchal ##### Joannes Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the adults only quiet location- but easy access to airport and restaurants etc- spectacular views- delicious breakfast ##### Joanne Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bendik 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Not a five star hotel This is not a 5 star hotel, barely 4 ##### Bendik Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Uyen Thi Minh 19 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great for short term ##### Uyen Thi Minh Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shahed 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful views though hard to walk back from town as it is so steep. ##### Shahed Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ralph 11 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I will surely come back ##### Ralph Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leon 29 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and well organized ##### Leon Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel was very nice and I enjoyed my stay. I had only booked for B&B which was fine but the fact that the bar and restaurant were closed completely otherwise was disappointing. I don’t think it is unreasonable to expect to be able to buy a drink! ##### Simon Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Only there for 1 night so didn't get chance to use all the facilities, but the room was very clean and comfortable with great views over Funchal, the bathroom and shower were clean and everything worked well, plenty of channels on the TV. WiFi is good in the bedrooms but no drink making facilities. Breakfast was excellent with loads of choice of hot and cold food and the ambience in the restaurant and adjoining outside terrace makes it a lovely place to eat. The only downside is the walk up from town, steep and a little convoluted so make sure you've got plenty of charge on your phone as you set off walking and allow around 30 minutes. Otherwise around 7 euros by taxi. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ian 13 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This isn't a five star hotel. It's more like three star with a few four star bits thrown in. The room was quite big and it had a nice balcony. None of that is any good if the beds are rock hard though. If there is one thing that you expect in a five star property, it's to have comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet was very disappointing too. The choice very limited. The bacon was fake, as was the juice, and the mushrooms we're tinned. There wasn't even any toast - surely a very basic requirement. The pool was nice but wasn't heated and Madeira rarely gets hot enough to do the job by the sun. The towels were old, worn and even patched up. The views were great but not nearly enough to make up for the many shortcomings of the hotel. Poor value for money. ##### Ian Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew 27 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing stay Overall disappointing. Some staff were nice, but at breakfast I was disappointed by the service. I asked for some ketchup with my meal, and was just bluntly told 'no we don't have any' without apology or any offer to find some (I can't believe a big hotel would not have any ketchup anywhere in it??). The same member of staff insisted I use a saucer for my teacup in a way that felt like policing me, and they continued to stand in the room glaring at the customers in a most unfriendly manner. It felt very uncomfortable. The room was basic, and the bedding and bed was not very comfortable. The windows were also quite dirty. Also the air conditioning was poor and the room remained very warm throughout our stay. Overall I would not recommend this hotel or stay here again. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma 2 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Wonderful, lived up to its name of a great view! The view was absolutely amazing and the rooms were wonderful. No complaints at all about that :) breakfast was fantastic and you can not beat the incredible views from the hotel breakfast, it was a little sun trap with views of the ocean and the beautiful mountains. It was a shame the hotel bar was closed in the day / evenings and it felt a little quiet and perhaps a little like it has been frozen in time since the 90s. It may be because we were there in May so a little out of season. Everything in brilliant condition, very grand hotel and could imagine it would have been a fabulous and very glamorous spot in its hay day! It was a really restful and relaxing stay here and we had a lovely garden off our room too with incredible views. there were a few very minor things like the lights in the hotel didn’t work in all parts of the corridor (not a big deal at all though) and the wifi didn’t really work in the rooms (again not a huge deal if you wanted to just disconnect but may be an issue for some)! It was only €6-9 euros in a taxi to the town, however we were hoping to be able to walk (google maps says 18 min walk), unfortunately the roads were a little precarious with no safe pavement to walk on so we decided mostly to taxi to be on the safe side! Overall we absolutely loved our stay here and honestly can’t complain, the little things we mentioned didn’t negatively affect our stay at all. ##### Emma Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### catherine 26 Feb 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING I am not a person that would normally complain but feel scammed and wouldn't want anyone else to waste their hard earned money. This is most definitely NOT a 5\* hotel as advertised. The whole place is in dire need of renovating. The carpets are worn and stained, towels are badly frayed, stained with holes. The whole hotel decor is plain and in need of a deep clean. The beds are uncomfortable, shower curtains not fit for purpose - the main curtains fabric resembled shower curtains material (also stained and filthy) Indoor swimming pool (which is also one of the outdoor pools) not heated so not fit for use in February which was also not maintained to decent standard. Jacuzzi was only just lukewarm. Food was extremely basic, not replenished as frequently as needed. Only one staff member on to clean tables/replenish which meant there were many days of having to clear tables yourself. Amenities stated on the website don't exist - no yoga, robes, slippers, free water or massage service. Some sites state it has a local shuttle to get to town - it doesn’t. No tea making facilities in the room (when asked, was provided with kettle and cups only) If i'd booked a 3\* hotel I wouldn't complain but this is a far cry from a 'Luxury 5\*' as stated. It is an absolute insult to the hotels that are awarded 5\* for their efforts, amenities and luxury. It's not allowing me to upload photos of which I have plenty. The only decent thing about this hotel are the views. ##### catherine Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lahinch Coast Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahinch-Hotels-Lahinch-Coast-Hotel-Suites.h1695484.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Rugby/ Northampton M1, Jct 18 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Rugby-Northampton-M1.h9770.Hotel-Information) > > [The Valentia Corretgería](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-The-Valentia-Corretgeria.h91318793.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Labranda-Sandy-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h2467640.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Tignes le Lac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tignes-Le-Lac-Apartments.d6339407-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Sopot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sopot-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d500626-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Barbara Ann Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Barbara-Anne-Apartments.h44573274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Isles of Scilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isles-Of-Scilly-Hotels.d1634.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in West London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-London-Hotels.d6047457.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Quinta Bela Sao Tiago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Quinta-Bela-Sao-Tiago.h2336387.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn London-Bloomsbury Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Bloomsbury-Hotel.h22262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Benidorm East by Pierre & Vacances](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Hotel-Palm-Beach-Includes-Tickets-To-Mundomar-Aqualandia-Parks.h903169.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel PortoBay Santa Maria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Porto-Santa-Maria.h906083.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Hideaway-At-Royalton-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h19069027.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Leonardo Royal Ibiza Santa Eulalia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Eulalia-Del-Rio-Hotels-Alua-Miami-Ibiza.h1133613.Hotel-Information) > > [Weekend Glamping Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Felice-Del-Benaco-Hotels-Weekend-Glamping-Resort.h22947384.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Cheddar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheddar-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182485-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Cars > [Car hire near Port of Toulon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Port-Of-Toulon.d6170628.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Toledo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Toledo.d602174.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Bowness Pier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bowness-Pier-Windermere.d553248635975742713.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Garswood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garswood.dx3000699030)
