Funchal hotels near Cathedral Se

Pros: Spacious and comfortable room, nice bathroom

Cons: The Christmas lights on the balconies were shinining to bright and too long in the evenings before they were turned off at night and by this disturbing our sleep. A good hotel, but in general too expensive compared to other hotels in Madeira.

Pros: We liked the comfort in the room, the view was perfect and the pool area is lovely. You get a lot of comfort, pillows were absolutely amazing for example. The garden around hotel is impeccable. there is a hotel bus that drives to the center of Funchal for free several times a day.

Cons: it was a bit boring, guests are quite old, so not really much reason to spend a lot of time in common areas. A bit stiff as well, maybe you have to be like that when you pay so much money. I would not recommend the breakfast in Gallo d'Oro. You get exactly the same food as in the Rose Garden, the only difference is that in Gallo you have to order it (and wait for it) while in Rose Garden, everything is already there so you just pick up the things from the buffet. I was a bit disappointed with fruit offer (not tropical fruits at all)

Pros: Everything. This hotel is amazing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hotel was very clean,good food ,good staff,nice lighting

Cons: We had two rooms but on separate floors,would of been nice if we they were on the same floor

Pros: Free upgrade to sea view with flowers and wine Thank you

Pros: Direct sea access, beautiful garden & view from the room. Very professional and friendly staff

Cons: The breakfast is a bit has been.

Pros: Amazing views from the hotel, hotel’s ground are gorgeous and well maintained, the attention to details in all the areas, the extremely friendly staff.

Pros: I’ve been staying at this hotel for years now & have never had any complaints. Staff are always more than helpful & I will always stay here when visiting Madeira.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: The design of the hotel is pretty unique. Rooftop terrace is tranquil, with jacuzzi spanning one length and pool the other. Downstairs, the spa area is a jet pool, steam room, sauna and rain shower which were well maintained. Very good selection at breakfast, staff were friendly and professional. Small touches like the turn-down service, personalised greeting and free minibar were very welcoming. I travelled on my own, but this was definitely targeted more towards couples.

Cons: TV has been overwritten to the hotel splash screen, which made it really difficult to use a normal TV guide - it also had someone else's name! I would get rid of this and keep the TV as normal - it was also quite small for the room. Terrace music could be heard from the bedroom. Some of the design decisions seemed to make more effort than sense: Bedside tables slide away with no room for storage, only one socket by the door, pebbles on the toilet floor must not be hygienic or easy to clean... It was stylish but I wasn't blown away given the awards it has won.

Pros: Breakfast, the amazing rooms, nice spa

Cons: We had to leave eventually

Pros: Good breakfast. Plentiful and varied

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The food choice is great.

Cons: The room lighting is dim and the trendy designs aren’t always practical I.e. the toilet/shower doors don’t close properly.

Pros: Everyone's taste was taken into consideration, from cooked, continental, fresh fruit and yoghurts. The dinning room was lovely and clean.

Pros: From the friendly greeting I received upon arrival I knew I would enjoy my stay. Polite, helpful, professional and cheerful is how I would describe all the staff at The Allegro whether in reception, house keeping or in the restaurant they were completely faultless throughout my 2 week stay. I was lucky enough to have a junior suite which was beyond my expectations: giant bed, great facilities, very spacious, 2 balconies and a sea view - wonderful and welcoming from my arrival to departure. I loved this room !! Breakfast offers many varied and delicious choices from cooked "full english style" to cold meats & cheeses, fruit, fruit juices, yoghurts, different breads, pastries and great coffee. Dinner is very good indeed and great value. Location is excellent for shops, Restaurants, the Lido and bus services. It is a pleasant walk from Funchal centre but buses run very regularly and the bus stop is literally a minute away. Gym is perfectly well equipped for a holiday workout, sauna and steam room available until early evening and a good out pool and sunbathing area. This hotel is so much more than one might expect when viewed from the outside. It has everything I needed and more, congratulations to all the staff at The Allegro for a 10/10 service throughout my stay. I loved it !

Cons: The only negative I can mention and this is no fault of the Hotel or staff and may not even be of concern to others but the neighbouring property had dogs in the garden area at times. Naturally, dogs will bark and I found this irritating and at times disturbing especially early in the morning . This did not occur all the time and as I have said, it is not something the hotel can control and will probably not be noticed by most people. I informed the reception staff who were extremely apologetic and are monitoring the situation. This is not a complaint

Pros: Fantastic hotel. Everything was very comfortable.. Very good and delicious breakfast buffet. The location is very convenient.

Pros: It’s close to the beach, and got upgraded with a very nice breakfast which was included in the price, and the cleaning was spotless. Great thing also was the fact that we could store our storage even after checking out.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Overall, the staff was always polite and did their best. We had the half-board (breakfast + dinner) package and the food was always of good quality and tasty. The hotel offers enough free parking space for its guests.

Cons: There were some unfortunate points that happen during our 5 nights stay: - I booked a double room and paid extra money for the 'sea view' upgrade. But what we got on arrival was a room with a balcony facing the large and noisy crossroads with a glimpse of the sea. I was told that the 'full sea view' rooms are all occupied. After complaining, the reception offered me a slightly better room on the 11th floor, now with full view on the construction side across the street and a side view on the ocean. In the end I accepted this room, but in my opinion it was not the room category that is suggested in the description and pictures on booking.com. In fact, there are many rooms in this situation, maybe it's more reasonable to offer two categories ('side sea view' and 'full sea view')? - The bathroom sinks in our room stink! The problem could not be resolved within our stay. A nasty solution is to cover up all sinks with towels if you don't need them. We also had many hairs from previous guest on our pillows and blankets, that was quite unpleasant. - In our half-board package, Christmas dinner was included. If we would have booked it extra, it would have cost 66€ p. p. It was a 5 course menu, the food was delicious and the drinks good. But after 2,5 hours we left the restaurant still hungry. No attention was paid to allergies or diets, e.g. our table neighbors were vegetarians and could not choose the vegetarian option. They should have order the vegetarian in advance but didn't know about this practice. So in the end they were only able to eat a bit of soup and some ice cream. - The seating situation at breakfast was horrible. The staff did their best but they were simply undermanned and there were too few tables. Try to go before 8.30 if you can. We once arrive at 9.30 and had to wait about 45 minutes in the lounge to get a table. By then some food trays were not already not filled up anymore. Around 10.

Pros: Fresh and clean, nice rooftop terrace.

Cons: Bed too soft. Pretty small room.

Pros: The room was nice with see view, hotel was cleen ,staff very friendly and helpful!!

Cons: Everything was fine!

Pros: cheap dinner

Cons: The worst hotel in Funchal, definitely the ugliest

Pros: We enjoyed the ocean and Funchal view from our balcony. The bus station, the ocean, and the supermerkat was nearby. The hotel was about 30 minutes on foot from the center. It is a good level 3 starts hotel for good prize.

Cons: The building from outside is looking not nice. Little big noisy.

Pros: The breakfast was pretty good. The room was clean and had a balcony, which was nice.

Cons: The hotel building itself does not look that nice. It was also a tiny bit far from the centre.

Pros: Very friendly staff and convenient location. I felt that it was good value for the money I paid and the staff did all they could to make me welcome

Cons: It looks old fashioned from the outside,heavy blue tiles. The room I stayed in, although quite spacious, was rather dark, due to the fact that the shutters had no catches to keep them open.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Less time to enjoy the rest of facilities

Pros: A superb location high up on the hillside overlooking Funchal with top quality spacious rooms, delightful staff and excellent food. We are vegetarians and booked half board; the chef came to us at our first meal, introduced himself and discussed all our requirements for the week and described every dish in the buffet that day. He even prepared a dish specially for me that evening. At breakfast the eggs were all cooked to order, including omelettes, with a substantial buffet offering everything you can imagine. Beds were very comfy - 2 singles pushed together as is normal here - and good towels and toiletries in the ensuite. View from our sea-view room was over the harbour and the Ilhas Desertas where the sun rose every morning between two of the islands - spectacular! Easy drive off the main motorway around town and a small car park on site. If this is full there is easy street parking outside the hotel. Beautiful infinity pool also an indoor heated pool and a garden area.

Cons: Nothing! There was some traffic noise from the road outside the hotel but not enough to bother us at all.

Pros: Everything else was excellent!

Cons: A window from the shower into the bedroom with a curtain on the bedroom side so while taking shower one has no control over who and when can open the curtain and see everything that happens in the toilet/ shower

Pros: Best hotel in Funchal! great food, service, amenities.

Cons: The hot tub was a big plus for this hotel, as we celebrated our anniversary and expected a Spa hotel. But the hot tub was as cold as the outdoor swimming pool, in January... And the dedicated person did not seem to be interested in fixing it during our 6 days stay, so we did not get to enjoy that part. Other than that - everything was perfect!

Pros: Staff very friendly and they did their best to look after guests.

Cons: Jaccuzzi very small and brocken not fully working, Bedroom lights too dark, Noise from night club all night until 8am.

Pros: Friendly staff.

Cons: It was a short stay so I am not right person to say my opinion. I'll be back for longer stay and then I can write my full review.

Pros: The hotel location is perfect, not far from city centre where most of the restaurants are located. The food in the restaurant is excellent, really no need to go out to eat.

Cons: Coffee could have been better, everything else was perfect

Pros: Great hotel interior with Cristiano Ronaldo merchandise. Great location, parking. They give free tickets to CR7 museum. The breakfasts was really delicious.

Pros: Very comfortable room, great location, staff was so nice and the place looked great.

Cons: There were 2 cruise ships in the harbor right in front of the hotel that gave a lot of noise.

Pros: A nice cozy hotel , nice garden, heated outside pool, good breakfast. Nothing to dislike:)

Pros: Excellent hotel. Magnificent breakfast. Luxurious large seawater pool.

Cons: Nothing I can think of.

Pros: Old and central

Pros: There was an excellent selection on the breakfast buffet and cooked eggs available to order. The staff were very attentive. We attended the Gala Dinner on New Year's Eve which was well organised and the staff entered into the spirit of the occasion. The Christmas decorations were lovely.

Cons: There was a hospitality tray in our room but teabags etc were complimentary on the first day only. After that the charge was 4 euros a day for a small plastic bag containing teabags, presumably some coffee and two tiny cartons of milk. This seems very penny-pinching considering the cost involved to the hotel. Some guests were taking teabags from the dining room, which we did not do.

Pros: Excellent location and accomodation in very authentic place with two nice hotel possibilities, the seaside modern one has a charming pool area including possibility for quick and relatively safe ocean baths. Service minded very helpful personnel! A pool guard that is always looking for your safety in trustworthy kind way. Very fine atmosphere in all hotel buildings we visited, including restaurants, bar and garden to old villa are accessible for all guests. The essential things for us were: authentic and practical location just outside Funchal’s (cruiseship and yaught) harbour, clean nice rooms with very beautiful view, daily short baths in the salt clean ocean, and a good breakfast. We are very pleased with our stay! Obrigada.

Cons: Everything worked very well, a minor thing is we paid a bit more per night than our travelling friends (we booked through booking.com, they used hotel.coms).

Pros: The style of the building and interior

Cons: Self service breakfast. No staff spoke to us and we did not know if a poached egg could be ordered or porridge made

Pros: Excellent breakfast with croissants and pastries fresh from the oven. Unfortunately only till 10am which is ridiculous on New Years Day! Good room size

Cons: When booking I asked for high floor and shower (not bath) and got neither with curt comment on checkin "we´re full" Room advertised as ¨sea-view¨ but sitting on balcony you can see a wall and hedge (see photo) - seaview is if you feel like standing up and peering over hedge! I didn't. Deceptive advertising. Tatty torn old rug waiting to trip you up in the passage and generally rundown. Female receptionist at checkin distracted, uninformative - forgot to return ID, didn't mention breakfast. Only one key for 2 people so we left it at the supposed 24hr desk but desk unattended and have to wait for key. Hard bed. Plumbing problems. Lots of better places right in the centre of town which this is not
