Andra gången på detta hotell. Mycket bra överlag.
Pros:

Väldigt bra frukost! Väldigt mycket att välja på.

Cons:

Sängarna är inte särskilt bekväma. Skulle inte skada med en bäddmadrass. Samma gäller kuddarna. Kan vara bättre.

Great stay in Funchal
Pros:

The location is in the center of Funchal. you can walk to the farmers market or the waterfront promenade easily.

Cons:

The door to the parking lot (a collection of dilapidated buildings next to the hotel) was very small. It was very difficult to turn in. The room does not have view. You have to go to the deck on the rooftop to have an ocean view. The jacuzzi was very small and always occupied.

Great staff with a wonderful location!
Pros:

Great location close to everything.

Staff members were very helpful- particularly Lilia and Armando in the dining room and Luisa at the front desk.

Cons:

The spa pool could be warmer particularly in January.
Room layouts could be improved for storage space near bathroom sinks.

A lovely unique hotel in an excellent location.
Pros:

We went for a few days over Christmas. The hotel is beautiful and situated very close to the shops and Cathedral.

Cons:

The food in the main restaurant was spectacular however fine dining every night if you were there for longer might get a bit too much.

heerlijk hotel op een ideale lokatie
Pros:

geweldig hotel op een idelae locatie in het centrum van Funchal. Voorzien van alle gemakken en het personeel is top. Kan en wil je overal mee helpen en van dienst zijn. Het is een soort thuiskomen.

Cons:

er zijn wat kleine onbenullige dingen in de hotelkamer die wat onderhoud nodig hebben. Zoals een deurstopper die loszit en nog wat onderhoudsissues. Daarnaast viel het ons op dat de driepersoonskamer een ruime tweepersoonskamer was met een bed in het zitgedeelte. We hadden hier iets meer van verwacht.

Beautiful hotel with amazing service
Pros:

A beautiful hotel right in the middle of the old town, down a quiet street. The location is perfect for exploring Funchal. The staff and the level of service was outstanding. Even though it is a boutique hotel it has every you would need including lovely outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a spa, a fabulous restaurant and a bar. Breakfast was a buffet with lots of selection but you could also order freshly cooked items. The restaurant served some amazing food in the evening. The hotel was immaculately maintained. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we really couldn’t fault it.

This hotel has the WOW factor!!
Pros:

This was our 8th stay at the Castanheiro and definitely won't be our last!

All the staff on reception are brilliant. Shout out to Andreia, David, Claudia, Sandra (to mention a few)) are so welcoming and friendly! Very efficient housekeeping staff and the bar staff and breakfast staff are all very friendly and helpful! too. All are indeed a credit to the hotel!

The breakfast options are fantastic! There are plenty of hot and cold buffet items as well as an a la carte menu, i.e. omelettes, pancakes etc. etc. Lovely variations of fresh juices, prosecco, pastries - the list goes on!

Plenty of sunbeds around the pool.

Location is perfect, very central to Old Town Funchal, but at the same time in a very quiet street.

We cannot fault this hotel!
