차밍 호텔스 - 호텔 퀜타 벨라 S 티아고

Nice quaint hotel and end of steep hill near the town centre. We stayed in room 223 and it was pleasant with a sea view. Reasonable price and breakfast included. Overall we chose this for its great location and views over the port and ocean. Car park looked quite small but we never used it.

Clean, comfortable and friendly hotel. A beautiful old building which was originally a manor house situated in a banana plantation( there is still a plantation in the well presented gardens) our bedroom was on the top floor. The balcony on three sides afforded amazing views over Funchal and the sea. Breakfast and dinner were good, but the hotel had no facilities for guests to obtain snacks during the day. Furnishings are comfortable. The swimming pool elegant and spotlessly clean. We didn't take advantage of the sauna and gym . The hotel is situated in a handy position for the renovated old town and lots of excellent restaurants, the cable car up to Monte and the gardens. An easy walk into central Funchal - downhill going, uphill returning.

Come back from an amazing week in Funchal, hotel not so good apart from the location. We had a great view from the balcony and breakfast was reasonable. Our issue was with the ant infested room, my daughter was eating crisps in the room and ants appeared all over the bed, reception told us not to eat in the bed, yet they offer breakfast in bed and room service. Our bed was changed and room sprayed, next day more ants around the bed and I moved the valance, under was lots of tiny ants. I went to reception again to deal with a very rude and aggressive member of staff who shouted at me and my 11 year old daughter for having crisps in the room, which were at this time packed away. There were no ants anywhere else but around the bed, in the bed and around the woodwork. Rooms are dated with few electrical points, lack of lighting and no bath robes. Construction work behind the hotel is very loud so you are unable to relax fully. On our last day we had a note left on the bed with numerous rules about not taking food at breakfast, not to being own food to pool, no naked swimming and many other rules of which made me feel very uncomfortable. This is not suitable for families and the hotel staff are very rude and not interested in the paying customers.

This has been our third visit to this lovely hotel and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. The hotel arranged for us to stay in the same room as the previous two visits with an amazing view of the sea and Funchal old town (Room 315). As a repeat guest there was a bowl of fruit, madeira cake and a bottle of madeira wine waiting. All the staff, especially David Rodrigues on reception are excellent. The hotel is well situated in the old town though anyone with mobility issues may think twice as there is a steep incline to and from the hotel. The hotel, pool area and rooms are clean & tidy. The breakfast is good with plenty of choice. Looking forward to our next visit. Well done Quinta Bela sao tiago.

I was really happy with my stay as a solo traveller. I booked a cheap and cheerful jet 2 package and I wasn’t disappointed. Pool area and terraces lovely. I didn’t eat breakfast as I knew it would not be up to my standard, on viewing it one morning this was confirmed. Room lovely, proper wooden floors and marble in the bathroom. If this is not your thing then you will probably be disappointed. Location great much better than most of the other newer hotels. My 1 complaint is the pillows!!! They are the worst I have ever had the misfortune to sleep on. Honestly they should have been thrown out years ago. I kicked myself for not bringing my own as a previous post highlighted this issue. Would I stay here again - definitely

Booked in today, writing this review on my first evening, this place is absolutely terrible, unable to make a drink in your room, water pressure crap, it’s like time travel, booking a ruin the 60’s, the place is terrible, planning to move hotels first thing tomorrow, feeling very ripped off, never again.
