Funchal hotels near Museum of Natural History

Pros: The room was spacious with two large single beds pushed together. A beautiful roomy bathroom with a separate shower and bath. The hotel walls seemed thicker than normal for hotels - I couldn’t hear anything from any other rooms - although the hotel seemed fairly full. The breakfast buffet was delicious too ! Beautiful setting overlooking the ocean. Idyllic really!

Pros: 5 star service and facilities, fantastic.

Pros: Friendliness of staff cleanliness breakfast

Pros: We were very pleased with the hotel, it is a true 5 star experience. Great location, just 30 minutes walk to the Funchal city. Beautiful views, lovely garden and very nice sea access. WiFi is available throughout the hotel, even on the beach. Very good breakfast with perfect view from the terrace and winter garden. The restaurant on the beach is also really nice, I liked the seafood and their traditional garlic bread;) The SPA is also worth mentioning - friendly and professional staff, interesting treatments and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The Michelin restaurant is a must-visit place. Would recommend this hotel for those looking for a quiet, comfortable and unforgettable vacation on Madeira!

Pros: Fantastic location surounded with a bunch of restaurants and cafes and gorgeous view from the balcony

Pros: Location facilities

Pros: Junior Suite with fantastic view of the Funchal bay. Staff very professional and friendly. Amazing experience with the dinner by the see at the 2* Michelin restaurant Gallo d’Oro.

Pros: The location of the hotel was fantastic with friendly helpful staff. Great roof lounge.

Pros: The view, the external swimming pools

Pros: My wife and I chose the Vidamar as our hotel as we wanted to get away for a shore honeymoon after our wedding. We selected the hotel based on price, amenities, location, appearance in photos on booking website and reviews. This is the first time either of us have actually stayed in a resort style hotel and we must say we were pleased. Staff are very kind, conscientious and willing to help. Amenities are very good and everything is clean. Having just got back to work we are already missing the place and the experience. We expect to be back within the year :)

Pros: The staff were always helpful and the facilities were above normal standards

Pros: Good

Pros: The sushi restaurant was brilliant and is something not to be missed. The staff were fantastic

Pros: Free Upgrade to full sea view Lovely choices for breakfast

Pros: The food is wonderful even in the buffet; buffets normally aren't that good. There is always at least one great fish dish. There are a lot of staff; service is fast and friendly. Rooms are enormous, directly facing the sea.

Pros: Breakfast was good! The facilities were very varied. Gym was awesome!

Pros: Front desk super friendly and helpful. Laura and Kelly - thank you again. This hotel is definitely one to pay for the upgrade for sea view. Absolutely special views and no noise from traffic on the other side. The second balcony off the bathroom makes for an interesting conversation. Truly one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. Breakfast excellent, roof top bar with spectacular views, pool area clean with bar. Don't hesitate to book.

Pros: recently redecorated, the hotel is very well located close to shops and public transport. The restaurant is nice with good food, breakfast splendid.

Pros: The location is perfect if you want to spend time sunbathing and swimming in the ocean. Lido Swimming Complex is only 5 minutes walk as well as free of charge swimming area. There are a lot of restaurants and small supermarkets near the hotel. Funchal city centre is acceable by bus (ticket costs 1.95 and the bus will bring you in the old town within 10 minutes). The staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are well-equipped and the furniture is really new and modern. The breakfast is fantastic, probably the best breakfast I've had in hotels.

Pros: Very nice breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff, pretty nice location and no children in sight :D We liked everything. Staff was very kind and surprisingly professional; arranged everything for us, from shuttle to and from airport, to taxi when we needed one, to rental car right there at the hotel. Last but not least I would like to mention the colorful bartender on the roof top bar :D definitely worth checking out

Pros: - food was amazing - dinner was a little bit better (changing every night) than breakfast (pretty much still the same every day) - selection of pillows - close to the city centre - view from the rooftop bar - reception staff were really helpful

Pros: The personnel was kind and helpful.

Pros: Nice renovated hotel in an area close to everything Breakfast you got a huge selection of foods Great air-co Great bed with the option to choose your pillow A balcony with sea view An empty fridge to put couple drinks in it Super clean thumbs up for the cleaning lady

Pros: Staff very friendly and attentive, very relaxed, large modern and clean rooms, great location. Lovely rooftop 360 bar.

Pros: cheap dinner

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.

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

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

Pros: The staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed in a Suite which was very clean, had a nice size balcony and had a great view. The breakfast had a lot of choices. Location was a 35 minute+ walk to Funchal (or 15 mins by bus) but we actually preferred the area around the hotel which was scenic and had some nice restaurants. We would visit this hotel again if we came to Madeira

Pros: Beautiful spacious room with sea view and our private terrace. Comfortable bed with all amenities. Quiet at night. Staff has outstanding professional attitude, always helpful and entertaining. Facilities are great. The hotel is located in a residential area, with plenty of restaraunts around. 30 minutes walk to the centre of Funchal or 10 minutes ride by taxi (10€).

Pros: Room, service, staff, facilities. All excellent. We’ll be back

Pros: Clean and comfortable as well as good rooms with nice sea view and quiet at night when windows shut. Nice Spa and food at breakfast for us mainly. Outdoor swimming pool is pleasant and gardens well kept. All staff from reception desk to restaurant and Spa were absolutely amazing and helpful and very kind. Much appreciated. Like to hear the eagle in the morning at breakfast time which first day was a strange attraction accompanied with his owner. Lots a good restaurants around the hotel and a nice promenade down by the sea front.

Pros: Space of comfortable

Pros: great room, great view, very nice staff, very good location in the heart of Funchal marina (3km away from old town)

Pros: Very large room and terrace, spectacular panoramic ocean view. Very good breakfast, varied every morning. Nice staff, except for one female receptionist, who didn’t inform us about the voucher for the dinner when we asked about the cost and food. Nice free underground parking and very rich dinner, open buffet, with a diferent theme every evening

Pros: The staff

Pros: Nice enough, nothing stood out as great.

Pros: I loved the walk-in shower and the amazing view from my balcony... the staff were very nice and breakfast buffet was great

Pros: Breakfast choice good. Gym excellent

Pros: Quiet, great views, wonderful outside pool, wide range of food.

Pros: Nice stay at New Year's Eve with stunning views over Funchal. Everything was perfect with only one bad experience: an unfriendly staff member at the reception who did not listen before giving answers and who seemed to be mostly interested in our money. Not nice and not in line at all with what we experienced in ultrafriendly Portugal sofar!

Pros: Incredible view ! Very good and rich breakfast , nice, frendly staff, very clean rooms. The bus shuttle from the hotel was really helpfull. Usefull tip : If you do not get to the hotel by taxi and you take the aerobus i do not recommend that you walk to the hotel if you have a big luggage, google maps will take you to very narrow streets that you have to climb (almost 45 degrees angle). Use the google maps route that includes aerobus and bus no.45 that will leave you next to the hotel. For sure, the next time we get to Madeira we shall stay here, we loved it !

Pros: The hotel has a great view on the city of Funchal.

Pros: We appreciated the welcoming friendly, and very helpful staff. Great breakfast, superb view from our spacious room with balcony. Great grounds to relax in a with two large heated pools and everything very clean. The complimentary bus to and from the city centre proved invaluable.

Pros: We throughly enjoyed being guests at the Madeira Panoramico for a week during January. We were warmly met by the charming and helpful staff. Our room was immaculate with a spacious balcony and lovely views across Madeira. It's a peaceful spot, removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The housekeeping was superb; it was great to return to a spotless room every day after long walks up mountains and along levadas! Breakfast was always excellent with a huge choice on offer - and we particularly enjoyed eating on the terrace during warm and sunny mornings. We were happy to walk down into the city centre (about twenty minutes) - though there is an hourly courtesy bus running during the day if required. We used a public bus to return uphill again, often in the evenings, with a very convenient bus stop right outside the hotel. This is an excellent base to explore Madeira and we appreciated the ease of car parking and the fact that it was convenient to access the main highways from the hotel. We used the indoor swimming pool and hot tub - but it wasn't quite warm enough (for us!) to trial the beautiful outdoor pool with its stunning views! We also visited the Cocktail Bar which offers entertainment in the evenings. Above all, this hotel is a very friendly place and the staff are all cheerful, happy and keen to help.

Pros: Very clean Great view on Funchal Parking available Great breakfast Amazing pools

Pros: Loved everything at this hotel. Room was very comfortable and clean and shower excellent. Breakfast very good. Salvador restaurant also excellent. Free shuttle bus into city very easy and taxis also reasonable cost. Staff were all very welcoming and helpful.

Pros: Plenty of choice in the buffet style breakfast. The Food and beverage manager walked around the dining room with a pleasant warm smile nicely dressed checking everyone was happy. The Superior room was decorated in lovely shades of green. Spacious and modern.

Pros: Champane for breakfast was a cherry on the iceing
