Great smaller hotel in good position for many restaurants. Lovely spacious clean rooms and good choice at breakfast. Only down side for me was that the restaurant didn't have any windows so felt a bit claustrophobic.
The hotel was well positioned and gave easy access to funchal, friendly staff who were able to give good local advice for places to eat and go. Room was clean and well maintained and the foyer was well presented. Car parking was easily accessed via the lobby and affordable at 8euros a day, o erall a great place to stay
Overall our stay was very nice. It's a really good location. Lots of shops, restaurants and a bus stop right outside . As a short walk to see the water and to Lido Pool.
We were disappointed because the bar at the pool never seemed to be open even though they told us it stayed open until 11pm. The pool itself was really nice and clean, though! The breakfast was yummy and lots of options.

Liked: Staff & service
The experience was average too noisy at nights people talking on the street very loud conditions of rooms some old and needs maintenance, staff was excellent
+ Modern Hotel with rooftop pool & terrace (unheated)
+ Large room with good WIFI
+ Good buffet breakfast with plenty of options
+ Good location in Lido, lots of restaurants & coastline nearby (or 25-30min walk into Funchal)
- Only two lifts in the building, and one was out of service during our stay which meant occasionally waiting up to 5 minutes for the lift.
- Restaurant for breakfast has no windows (eg. no sunrise / natural light)
- Bathrooms seemed a bit outdated compared to the rest of the room / building.

Great location - improvement to service needed
Really liked the balcony and the location, and the flexibility of the late check-in, those were great.
Not so great:
- Information provided at check-in by staff, particularly around the opening times of the hotel restaurant and room service, was poor
- No menus provided at all in the room for food provided by restaurant or roof top bar
- No room service in the evenings
- Restaurant does not open at lunch but still has restaurant lunch hours displayed which led to confusion
- Reservations for restaurant must be made day before or at the latest in the morning of the day of, no walk-ins, but was not informed of this at all (as this was during the business trip side of my travel, it meant I had to order Uber eats so as to not go hungry because I could not go outside the hotel due to work and there was also no room service available in the evening)
- Breakfast food quality was poor, very disappointing
- Given new towels that were dirty the night before check out
- One of the twin beds was really loud, squeaking quite badly and awakening person sharing room with
- Upon check out was told service charge tax had been calculated incorrectly and had to pay an extra €2 or so, that in itself wasn’t a problem, but when coupled with everything else that wasn’t great, this felt like adding insult to injury
I felt that for a four star hotel, my experience here was really lacking and I was left frustrated and dissatisfied.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall, we feel like Vila Baleira is not really a 4* hotel. The rooms are fairly outdated - particularly the bathroom. We were a bit disappointed with the cleanliness, particularly as we could tell the floor wasn’t swept or mopped throughout the duration of our stay. The bed was comfortable enough, however the road outside is very noisy, and so if you are a light sleeper you will struggle.
Our key card consistently failed to work for our room, to the point we had to be let in with the master key and there was mention of potentially moving us to another room. The next day none of this came to fruition, and it felt like staff didn’t really care. The excuse given was that it has “magnetised”, which we understand can happen but continued to occur no matter where the card was kept during the day. Although this sounds like a minor inconvenience, we found it really frustrating that we were having to go up and down in the lift multiple times a day just to get into our room.
The breakfast was disappointing for €15 pp/per day, and so despite having already paid for this we had breakfast at cafes instead (which were nicer and cheaper). So that was a waste of money for us.
The pool was nice enough, however there were not enough sun loungers for guests and you very often ended up sitting at tables, which was frustrating.
The location was good - it was within a reasonable walking distance to lots of restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarkets. It also has good underground parking.
We made a last-minute booking at this hotel. We would have preferred a room for our entire party but at such short notice this wasn’t possible. The rooms we were given were spacious and clean. It’s very convenient for the airport bus and the red route of the City Bus Tours. A great location with several supermarkets and dining options. One of our party had a birthday and we were given a bottle of sparkling wine, which was a really lovely touch. Thank you!
