3 Stars Hotels in Madeira, Portugal

We are a couple and stayed for 3 nights in this hotel (May 2022). For a 3-stars hotel, we do love their service during our trip in Funchal, Madeira. There are several restaurants nearby to have lunch and dinner. It is only 10 minutes of walking to the nearest beach. We rented a car for 1 day, and the rent car location was so close from the hotel (5 mins of walking). If you are looking for a budget hotel with great service and good location, you may consider this hotel as an option. I recommend this hotel for you. Pros: 1. Location The location is quite good. From the airport, we took aero bus and paid €8 for a return ticket per person. The aero bus only accept payment in cash. The ride will take us around 30 minutes from the airport to the nearest stop (no.3 Mercado). Then, we walked to the hotel for 10 minutes. You just need to climb up the road after you are in 31 Janeiro street. To walk to the city center l, it will take you less than 10 mins too. 2. Check-in The check-in went smoothly and no problem. After we verified our identification card, the receptionist told us about the wifi, breakfast, and others things. 3. Price We made a reservation through OTA. It was good value of money to stay in this hotel. The breakfast already included in the price for 2 people. 4. Room The room is quite simple, clean, and not so big. We had twin beds with a city view (4th floor). There is a TV, chair, table, cupboard. The bed and pillow are comfortable for me. The bathroom is quite big and it is clean. The standard amenities like soap, shampoo are there. The towels are clean. The hot water and the ac worked perfectly. 5. Breakfast The breakfast is not bad, it exceed our expectations. They have fresh bacons and sausage everyday. The view from the breakfast area was so beautiful. 6. Wifi The wifi is easy to connect and the speed is good from our room. 7. Staff The staffs are quite nice and helpful. The man helped us to get to know a ticket available for Porto Santo. The woman helped us with useful information to take the aero bus to the airport. The staffs for breakfast were nice too. 8. Facilities The hotel has spa, restaurant, rooftop bars. Cons: 1. They should improve the fruits salad on the breakfast. The quality of the fruits could be better.

I highly recommend it, the reception staff were very nice and helpful, the rooms were cleaned every day, a nice view from the balcony, there is no air conditioning, but there is a fan. Nice, large rooms, large and comfortable beds, shower gel in the bathroom and towels changed every day. Rooftop swimming pool and sun loungers. Tasty breakfasts, regularly replenished, good juices and coffee, the only thing is that there are no vegetables for a sandwich.

The Hotel is very close to the beach, our room was very nice, with a balcony and everything. Everything appeared to be clean and tidy. We liked it very much, we recommend it and we will be back.

My first impression of the hotel was not at all positive... The door to the room was warped, the window frames were quite dated (on two of the nights of our stay it was windy and the windows made a lot of noise and had little insulation) and the room had no no towels or toilet paper... After this first impression things got better. Breakfast was good and quite varied. The hotel also has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, free of charge and towel provided. The hotel offers parking for 7 euros per night, but with some luck we managed to park in a street behind the hotel for free (where it was easy to access the hotel through a back door). Check-in and check-out went smoothly.

The location of this hotel is excellent for moving in the heart of the city. Small balcony, and air con essential, the hotel are also in the process of adding small room fridges . Cesar in particular gave us a warm welcome, helped us with taxis and maps. Great location for some excellent restaurants, and a stroll to the public gardens. The rooftop terrace bar and pool area was small but sufficient and the snacks and PONCHA great. The breakfast room is somewhat dowdy and unloved and some of the staff although generally efficient - seem to resent their work and lack all of Cesar's welcome and warmth. Overall for a small city centre 3 star - good value for money.

Myself and husband along with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson aged 1.5 years had an amazing holiday. The experience from landing in Funchal, transfer to hotel and the most welcoming experience on arriving at Dorisol Mimosa was first class. Yes, some of the external paint work can do with some attention but that is the only issue. The welcome at the main reception was lovely with plenty of information. Rooms are spacious and bright, also cleaned daily. We were b&b which was plentiful and well stocked, kitchen assistant were very pleasant and helpful. The pool area was exceptional clean and relaxed with plenty of sunbed and a small deck area. The facilities such as indoor pool, gym and tennis court are well-maintained. The terrace bar and restaurant was outstanding,.this includes service and amazing food. The most spectacular views from the rooftop bar is breathtaking and we sat and relaxing every evening. Madeira is very hilly and not for folk who have difficulty walking but a stunning island that is self sufficient offering many local produce. Local restaurants are welcoming and give no hassle. The front seafront area is like paradise which we visited daily. Definitely will return to funchal.and Dorisol Mimosa

Bardzo dobry tani hotel. Położony w pobliżu lotniska, przystanek autobusowy naprzeciwko hotelu. Można dojechać do centrum Funchal, a stamtąd w innym kierunku. Śniadanie za małą dopłatą, jak dla mnie smaczne - tzw kontynentalne, ale każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Można dokupić obiady za 25€/os. Basen wewnętrzny i zewnętrzny. Bar koło basenu, ręczniki kąpielowe przy barze. Pokoje czyste i komfortowe, obsługa miła i pomocna. Jeżeli będę wracał na Maderę z pewnością wybiorę ten hotel. Klimatyzacja w pokoju, choć nie używałem. Mogę z pewnością polecić ten hotel.

In the middle of a ten day holiday at this hotel. It is a lovely, clean, small and friendly hotel in an excellent central location. Our self-catering room with balcony is huge, with all you need to make yourself comfortable for a short or long stay. There is a very reasonably priced little supermarket next door .The beds are perfect for a good nights sleep and it's lovely to have a bath aswell as a shower. The rooftop pool area is a bonus and kept very clean. The manager is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. We are here during an unexpected heatwave and having to sleep with the windows and doors open ( fans are available) and yes there is traffic noise but I was aware that I was booking a central city location and have earplugs. If I wanted peace and quiet I would have booked a rural hotel. Having said that the hotel itself is very quiet, we can't hear other guests/staff coming and going. Overall we are glad we chose this hotel for our first trip to Funchal .

After a very late flight cancellation, we booked the Carmo in haste. It was a real stroke of luck as the hotel proved to be fabulous. We loved that they've kept the sixties style and, although the rooms aren't the most modern, it makes for a stay with a difference, in contrast to so many chain hotels. The best thing is the staff who are terrific. Special mention to the lovely Tania who immediately calmed our stress and sorted everything in a calm, professional and friendly manner. She's an absolute star!

We spend 8 days at the apartments and loved it. The rooms are a nice size, with most of what you need to self cater. We would often pop down to the mini supermarket/bar/café for a coffee/ pastry/beer/wine/water... The staff were friendly and the rooms made up every day, with towels changed every other day and bedding every 4th day. The aforementioned was very clean. A nice walk into Funchal or along the promonaide in the other direction. Walking to the far end of Funchal was about 25 minutes. Beds were single beds, but easy to push together. You get pots,pan, plates, kettle, cork screw, cutlery, but don't forget washing up liquid and cloth. Small gel and shampoo supplied. Beach towels were extra to hire. Rooms have no air conditioning, not that we needed it. It felt pretty special in Funchal with everything Christmas still on display and all lit up in the evening until Sunday 8th Jan when it was all packed away. Hired a car from Madpoint (Recommend them!!) In the local shopping mall, for a couple of days which allows you to visit most of the island. The apartments were really good value. Overall an excellent experience

The hotel is in Lido area with plenty of restaurants and small super markets near by. Only 3 mins walk to bus top where can bring you to City Center €1.95 single one way and airport. €5 single one way, €8 return. Walking to City center is about 20-30mins. Only 10mins walk to Forum Madeira shopping mall. Breakfast is good with many choices of fruit, salad, yogurt, ham, eggs, bread, cereals. Indoor, outdoor pool and gym are nice too. We stay in sea and swimming pool view studio with kitchenette. The balcony is wonderful. Staffs are polite and patient. Only one con, no air conditioning in 31 degrees. Only have a ceiling fan.

What a beautiful hotel! Yes it’s a bit dated in decor but the people and the location couldn’t be better. I have seen some reviews saying it was dirty and, of all things the keys are too big! Get a grip people! This is not the most up to date hotel in terms of decor in the rooms but it is clean. Maid service is daily. The breakfast is a buffet style and there is always a chef cooking hot omelets and the like. The location couldn’t be better. We are not the healthiest of people but we walked into Funchal centre in about 40 minutes. The sea view is amazing from the sun terrace. There is not much going on in the hotel as far as entertainment but there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
