The experience was ok. The problem is that the hotel has two buildings and the name of the building for our booking was a different than the one that appears to be here. Our room was in Hotek Oenha de Franca Mar. It was nice, but a bit more of guide on this would be good.

Great location. , a little shabby in places rooms spacious . Breakfast offerings pretty extensive. Lunch ok had a few problems with wrong order being brought then the item I had ordered arrived raw . Pool staff super organised and very helpful. Restaurant staff pleasant. Reception mainly good , although on last morning we had ordered a breakfast and it wasn’t delivered the reception said there was nothing he could do about that in a very brusque manner rude ! No customer care there . Needs addressing 20/7

The hotel is located within easy walking distance of cable cars, lots of great restaurants and access to the ocean. The property has lots of character, a great free breakfast and two pools with friendly and helpful staff. there is free parking as well which is a huge benefit as street parking is very limited.

A Gem of a Hotel

A wonderful surprise this hotel turned out to be. Loved the old world feel of the reception area in the main hotel and the pool & sea view are exceptional. The staff was so knowledgeable and took time to show us about. We had dinner included but were not able to make it so, lunch was provided for us. The breakfast buffet is the best I have seen in Portugal with eggs made to order, warm breads and wonderful fruit salad to mention a few items. Overall, I would come back just to relax by the pool. Downtown Funchal is easily walk able as is the waterfront. The hotel can be very proud of their staff and their genuine concern for the stay of the tourist.

A good bet

For a 4 star hotel i would say that the quality of room furnishing was below par and the bathroom definitely needed a refurb. However the location , with a great sea side saltwater pool, and only 15-20 minute easy walk to Funchal old town, was excellent and made the hotel excellent value for money, overall, at the price. Also great breakfast with full range of choices and lovely staff. A good mid-range choice and we would probably choose it for a future visit.

Pretty, but…

I liked the old fashioned quirkiness of this hotel, and the pretty gardens. Seems to cater to older Europeans who are repeat guests- as a solo, first-time guest the vibe, for me, was a little like being at a members-only club where I wasn’t a member. Some of the staff were nice- but one older restaurant staff member berated me when I asked for a fork for my take-away (there was nothing on the menu that appealed to me that evening). And the gentleman at the front desk (when I checked out at 5am for an early flight) was just plain surly. Overall it is a nice hotel, though, and breakfast was good.

This hotel was in a great position to walk into Funchal old town either along the promenade or down the many side streets. There is also a lovely park nearby with cafes. We got the Aerobus from the airport which drops you off within a 2 min walk (stop number 10) 6 euros. The breakfast every morning was amazing, continental,full english,cereals,fruit,pastries even smoked salmon on some days. There are 2 available swimming pools. One is a short walk over a bridge and down by the sea. The smaller one is in the garden which we used every day. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was clean and tidy and very quiet.
