Funchal Hotel Guide - Universo de Memorias Joao Carlos Abreu hotels in Funchal, Portugal.

"Staff were excellent esp Julia. Pleasant, friendly and helpful. Evening meal at the restaurant was absolutely delicious. Breakfast is good quality. Good selection though repetitive over the few days we stayed. Indoor pool (basement) and outdoor pool (roof). Spa & sauna though I didn’t get to use. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Do note that no iron in the room even on request. There is charge to get ironing done. Also the airport shuttle is not complimentary 40 EUR charge. They don’t offer half board - bed & breakfast. "

"Room was very spacious and check-in staff was super nice. We got a welcome drink and excellent recommendations for tours and things to do. Pool access is with reservations but totally worth it and super relaxing. Gorgeous cellar, little shop and art collection. Beautiful breakfast dining room and excellent food selection."

"Staff, especially at the bar, was very nice. The room was very spacious and clean. The pool and rooftop were an excellent amenity and the location was central to everything by the water and beautiful gardens. The breakfast was delicious and varied, very fresh with fresh baked bread and pastels de nata."

"João, Carla and the great kitchen and cleaning staff went the extra mile to make our one week stay comfortable. The room we got was an upgrade because we had found the first room’s bathroom uncomfortably cramped. The room we got was an extra story to climb stairs but João insisted that he carry our bags. He was also super helpful with ideas and bus connections. The large windows opened wide in the evenings to let fresh cool air in. If we had to be inside during the day, the AC could cool the room down in minutes. The bed and bathroom shower were roomy and comfortable. Daily room service left the place neat and tidy when came back from our daily adventures. "

"Clean room. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great gym that is never busy. Perfect location. "

"Good location. Able to walk to restaurants near old town and the marina."

"Clean, beautiful hotel. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Ther breakfast buffet was quite big and they let me eat a little earlier due to an early am flight (or also offered a take away breakfast bag). A little walk from the main shops/ restaurant area of Funchal."

"We were staying in the new block, rooms 901 to 923. Lovely rooms very spacious and comfortable. The pool looked lovely but we didn't use it, it was not quite warm enough at the end of March. But on a really hot day it looked fab. The rooftop jacuzzi was lovely but with the top deck being overlooked by the building work going on next door it was not a very condusive space to spend too much time. Also the whole time we were there the bar on the rooftop was not open, I'm sure it would have been lovely with great views of the city. The breakfasts were of a really good quality, an extensive buffet every day with a degree of variety. I would go here again but would warn about the very extensive building works behind the hotel. Location wise the hotel was good to get back to if you had a car but if walking you need to allow a good 20 minutes to get to Funchal and 30 minutes to get back."

"The breakfast selection was extensive and fresh, the staff were really friendly and did everything to accomodate guests and the property is new, combine that with the hotel staff cleaning the rooms so well, our rooms were spotless"
