Hotel Catedral, hotel in Funchal

Hotel Catedral offers elegantly decorated rooms in Funchal’s city centre. It features panoramic views of the area. It also offers free WiFi, as well as free parking.

The location was the best selling feature: centrally located in Funchal, with short walks to all major historical landmarks. While the hotel was a little dated aesthetically, it had all the conveniences and attentive staff to make our stay comfortable and unencumbered.

The kitchenette was sufficiently equipped to make breakfast every day. The location of the hotel is great, near nice restaurants and also there is a big supermarket close by. Overall great value for money and we recommend staying here.

The staff was super friendly. Room was clean, breakfast was tasty. Every day they cleaned, while I was out, exploring the city. I liked the outside bar. I did not try the swimming pools and jacuzzi, but it looked clean

Hotel Do Centro, hotel in Funchal

Well set in Funchal, Hotel Do Centro provides air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar. This 3-star hotel offers luggage storage space.

Excellent central location and very reasonable comfort for 3* property - so, a bit of surprised about clearly lacklustre reviews from many of the visitors. The location - can hardly be any better than what it is, unless you want to rely on rental car. Ok, the most of the reviewers seem to well agree on this point. Still, a warning for non-initiated - have never before seen something so challenging as Funchal's terrain, 1.5 km uphill is likely to be a nightmare (and being comfortable with somewhat hilly Greek islands does not give a right idea about the expectations here). The level of comfort (size of room, bed, pillows, bathroom) - very consistent with what could be expected fro 3 star hotel. The room was larger than we actually expected, the beds were quite comfy (the pillows included) - and we are picky about this, well equipped and spacey bathroom. The price/value - ok, not really a bargain here. Initially we assumed that this is due to exorbitant New Year's Eve prices (stayed there for three nights, the New Year's Eve included), but, just out of curiosity, when rechecking their "low season prices", realised that the high season extra has been quite sensible - around 30% or so, so nothing really to complain about. Funchal simply seems to be exorbitantly overpriced in any season - ok, in quieter times there might be better availability to choose from. So generally we are quite satisfied with the location, overall comfort and price value ratio, and would consider staying there again.

    The hotel's location is great, close to Funchal's city centre, with so many amenities ans shops near by. This is a 2** hotel, if you are travelling on a budget and only use the hotel to sleep, then this is a good option. Parking space is offered. It is a bit tricky, but the staff handles it very well.

    Great location (near the see, down town and shops/supermarket). Staff is very friendly (let us warm up baby food at night in the kitchen and got us have breakfast earlier in the check-out day). Hotel is not a modern, fancy 3 stars, but serves the purpose. They provided a crib for our baby, which was very helpful. Overall I liked and recommend.
