Trip Advisor Reviews
DON'T BOOK WITH A TRAVEL AGENT - THEY WILL CHARGE YOU TWICE
When I arrived, I told the receptionist that I had booked with InteleTravel, and that they had my card details. I had a voucher to cover the cost of the stay.
She said I had not paid yet, and made me pay to check in.
I'm still trying to resolve the dispute with my credit card company now.
NEVER AGAIN
Reasonable value for money, friendly personnel but the hotel needs renovation
Very friendly personnel, even in the very busy breakfast rush the lady serving us always remained calm and very friendly. Nice pools and a reasonable price-quality, taking into account Funchal pricing (in smaller villages like Santa Cruz the p/q is much better). We had a nice balcony with sea-view...
It's a good thing the (small) bath room is renovated. A supermarket, bus stops, restaurants and beach all within walking distance (10-15 minutes), steep climb back using various stairs. The rooms need renovation. Rooms are clean and nothing is broken, but everything is outdated. Breakfast low quality food (bad coffee and juices) and very busy, but reasonable variety.
Pleasent, but not extraordinary
All the facilities were very clean and the staff was very nice. The bed and pillows were also super comfortable. The breakfast was Ok...
Variety of breads, croissant, cheese, juice, fruit, ham, jams and butter. Eggs was also available. But, in 2020 you expect for any hotel with 3 stars and above to have air conditioner. The room only had a ceiling fan that wasn’t enough to cool the room and is not so allergies friendly as we know. The worst part of the stay was the noise during the night. The walls and door let all the sounds from the outside (and steps from the room above me) enter in the room, specially the door that didn’t block the noise and light. My room was right in front of the elevator and I woke up a few times because of the outside noise and my room was never totally dark because of the light that came from the borders of the door. The way to enter in the condominium by car could also be improved. One night I waited more than 5 minutes to someone open the gates and one day was raining very hard and it wasn’t cool to open the window to ring the bell and get wet.
Good value for money
Good location with plenty of restaurants bars and shops around. Not far from local harbour. Beautifull view on ocean...
Nice pool bar with evening entertaiment. Nice breakfast with friendly wait staff. We had a pleasant stay here.
Good value hotel in excellent location
We had a room on the 7th floor but as the lifts were generally easy to call this was no problem. The room was reasonably spacious with good TV -lots of English channels - the bed was fine and the room had an overhead fan to keep you cool. Room service was fine with beds made up each day and towels changed when you asked...
The restaurant was nice and food was good, especially if you like fish. A good choice of drink in the restaurant was the carafe of wine which was surprisingly cheap about 4 to 5 Euros for 0.5 li. The reception staff were helpful too answering queries efficiently. This hotel is actually one part of 3 Dorisol hotels all in the same street. It had 2 outside pools and one heated indoor pool with gym attached.
The approach to the hotel was up a lot of stairs but then Funchal itself is very hilly. Overall a good choice of place to stay given it was in the Lido area with bars and buses close by.
