Lost count of the number of times we have stayed at The Vine. Superb hotel, big enough to have good facilities, but small enough to feel special. Brilliant staff****

I was expecting a lot more. It was sold as a boutique high end luxury hotel, it was nice, but the decor is terrible. The hallways are decorated in black pebbles which makes it dark and uninviting. The bedrooms are trying to be unique and boutique but the finish is a bit cheap. The wiring and sockets are poorly integrated at the ends of the beds and look messy and unfinished and the bedside lamps have cheap plastic shades with stark white lighting. The wall light switches are difficult to use and look unfinished like they need a cover over them. Overall not worth the money, especially when I stayed at the Savoy up the road for less money and significantly more luxury. However, it's not a bad hotel and the staff were lovely and very helpful.

Beautiful property. Comfortable bed. Amazing bathtub & bathroom. It was difficult to navigate getting into the building from the parking garage & the elevators in parking garage felt scary/unsafe. Overall I would stay here again!

The Vine in Funchal
Rooms are large but nonfunctional - a large bathtub with no privacy does not make sense. One bathrobe was dirty or stained and should never have been delivered to the room. Breakfast was very good - front desk very helpful. The location is perfect.

The Vine is our go to hotel in Madeira. Comfortable, clean, modern and not too large. Situated in the center of Funchal, away from the 'hotel district' and an easy walk to parks, museums, bars, restaurants and the sea front. Infinity pool and bar on the roof along with a fine dining restaurant and 360 degree views of Funchal. A free to use Jacuzzi and steam room alongside the Spa, which has a range of unique Spa treatments, which are highly recommended. Top of the list has to be the staff. Nothing is too much trouble, they are friendly, knowledgeable and always welcoming.

The staff were super nice and helpful. They even packed breakfast for us because our flight was leaving really early. The location is optimal if you want to stay in the Old Town. Nice shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Having a mall at the ground floor was a plus for late snacks and food.

Hotel probably furnished by an artist, with little practical knowledge. Beautiful rooms, but much wasted space (huge bath) and manual needed to control lighting! Staff exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient. Fabulous breakfast. Hotel decor is stunning -probably won some awards.

Great stay - fantastic location with lots around. A very large selection available for breakfast each morning, we are both Vegan and they went out of their way to prepare us something. Service from checking in was outstanding, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately our return flight with easyJet was cancelled, we phoned the hotel who booked us a new room for the extra nights and helps arrange transport. Highly recommend staying here if visiting Funchal.

One Major Flaw.
One Major flaw. The Vine is ultra-modern and beautiful, is in a great location and has a great breakfast. But if you arrive late at night or leave early in the morning-- as flights do with Madeira-- it can be a nightmare. I emailed ahead that I would arrive late and I told them we had 3 suitcases from 5 weeks of travel and I had back surgery so needed help with bags. But when you arrive in pitch dark, there is nothing but I shuttered pitch black shopping mall. Somehow you are supposed to find a small garage alley in the back and then wind through unmarked halls to come to a desk with 1 person who can't leave to help get your bsgs up or down. I had flagged the issue the prior night and was told I would be helped but Rymuben insisted he could not leave the front desk. A great place that needs to staff correctly and instruct them.

Overall a very nice property. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Property located walking distance to all of the nice restaurants and harbor. Breakfast was amazing. Property has coolers located on the floor that dispense both, sparkling and still water, at no charge. Hotel has on site parking even though getting from the parking garage to the main lobby is not the most convenient of paths. Rooms are clean and modern.

We have booked stays at The Vine for the past 11 years. We can't praise this hotel enough, our favourite hotel. Convenient, comfortable, central, not too large, central, and above all, wonderful people, always willing to go that little bit further to help. Already planning out next visit.

A "design hotel" with the theme "The Vine". Sometimes a little forced to stay focused. The lighting scheme certainly was complicated, but we finally got the hang of it. Same with the faucets and "waterfalls." Breathtaking views from the Rooftop Bar over Funchal. A spa for relaxing massages etc. in the basement. Nearby shopping (in fact in the same building), walking to parks and sites in Funchal. Perhaps a little overpriced.

The room itself was tired and could do with a bit of a lift (bits in the room broken, paint chipped etc). Overall the pool area was nice and the breakfast was lovely with a large variety. The parking could have done with explanation beforehand as it wasn't overly clear how to access the underground lot. The gym is a company in the same building (so not the hotel itself) but meant it was bigger than the standard hotel gym, but was often very busy. It's located a short walk to the shops, bars and restaurants of Funchal so great to stroll of an evening.

We always stay at The Vine on our frequent visits to Funchal. The location is unbeatable, as are the staff. They even managed to get me a dental appointment within 4 hours of arriving at the hotel check in. The hotel is modern, clean and in easy walking distance of everything in the centre and the old town.

Great location close to Old Town, dining options, shopping and taxi stand. The property is modern and hip, but a bit dark in common areas. Some say this is relaxing and it is, but I prefer a bit more illumination. We has a Junior Suite and although spacious there was no table to eat or play cards and the bathroom sink had no space for our toiletries.
