Pros:

Однозначно понравилось расположение и приветливость персонала.чисто. На этом всё.

Cons:

Все остальное идет в минус отелю.

И ужасные матрасы с подушками на скрипящем основании.

И шумоизоляция номеров.

И запахи, идущие из ресторана, и посредственное качество и выбор блюд на завтраке.

В общем, все это не дотягивает до четырех звезд точно. Ну а дизайнер — это, конечно, отдельная песня.

Дешевые материалы и отсутствие уюта в оформлении номеров.

Чего стоит только выбор дизайна для умывальника! Для того чтобы в нем умыться, человеку ростом 180 сантиметров нужно нагнуться буквой Г. Ребенок точно не дотянется до раковины. Общее Соотношение цены и качества неудовлетворительное. Если бы отель назывался не бутик-отелем, а хостелом и стоил в два раза дешевле, то это был бы лучший отель на Мадейре.

Но за те деньги, которые он стоит, это очень плохой выбор.

Excellent boutique hotel
Pros:

We made a return visit to Hotel Castanheiro in Funchal, Madeira in February 2026, having first visited in 2024. We were delighted to see that many of the staff who had made our first trip so memorable were still working there. The hotel is just a short drive from the airport and is well situated a short walk from restaurants, cafes, shops and museums. Our room was spacious (Junior Suite), clean and was well serviced throughout our stay. The food in the hotel is excellent although we felt the breakfast buffet food could sometimes not be very hot. There was however always a good choice of options, including food that could be freshly cooked and brought to the table.

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.

Stylish, friendly hotel in a great location to explore Funchal.
Pros:

Stayed for 4 nights and could have stayed much longer! The rooms are stylish, clean & very comfortable....including choice of pillows & good aircon.
The staff (reception, bar, restaurant, cleaners) are all consistently friendly, efficient & professional.
Large choice at breakfast, including many of the fruits the island is famous for. Also choice of eating inside or out, when the weather permits.
Rooftop pool & hot tub are also nice, with views both up the mountain & out to sea.
Pool was a tad chilly but OK once you got moving.
Spa is also nice, though pool could have been warmer.
Bar does a happy hour 6pm to 7pm, 2 for 1 which is good value. We had mojitos and caprihinas, both of which were good.
In short, definitely recommend and will visit again if we return to Madeira.
