Un bel hotel nel centro di Funchal
Pros:

Posizione, camera, colazione ed ecc. ovvero ciò che una persona va cercando normalmente in vacanza. Unico appunto è la piscinetta sul tetto (bellissima!) troppo piccola per la struttura.

Cons:

Piscina sottodimensionata e palestra scarsa (giusto per dire di averla).

Nice enough but cheaper alternatives close by
Pros:

Nice hotel in the center of Funchal. For the price paid, it would be considered a 5* hotel in the middle of summer, however small things such as replacing towels, bath mats, toilet roll and shower gel were forgotten on a daily basis as we had to call every day for replacements

Cons:

The above lack of attention to detail and service

Best hotel I’ve booked on booking.com
Pros:

We just returned from our stay at the Barceló Old Town Hotel in Funchal, and honestly, it’s the best hotel experience we’ve had booking through Booking.com. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming from start to finish.

Breakfast was an absolute highlight. As a vegan family, we were thrilled to find so many naturally plant-based options: steamed, grilled, and raw vegetables, rice, potatoes, fresh fruit, and fresh juices, along with pan con tomate and fresh breads. The kitchen also went out of their way to prepare extras for us — fried tofu one morning, chia seed pancakes with maple syrup another, and plant-based yogurt that we mixed with nuts, seeds, and cereals from the granola bar. Every one of these touches was fantastic and clearly made with care.

A special mention for Carolina at the concierge desk, who is an absolute gem. She organized multiple outings for us, including hiking and swimming excursions, and pointed us toward outstanding restaurants and shops in the area that we never would have found on our own. Her local knowledge and enthusiasm made a real difference to our trip.
