Amazing rooftop in old funchal
We loved this hotel - new, clean, well maintained and in an excellent location. Service in the restaurant for dinner was pretty slow but breakfast was very good. The rooftop pool is amazing, just what we wanted, but admittedly it’s a small rooftop so often is at capacity. I’d recommend reshuffling the layout of beds/tables etc to have more sun beds and parasols! Otherwise, all excellent.

The hotel was right in the middle of Funchal old town - a perfect location for exploring. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was amazing. There was very limited space at the rooftop pool and bar which was slightly disappointing as it was extremely hot and a dip in the pool would have been welcome!

Effortlessly Brilliant
Staff were lovely, rooftop cocktails were made perfectly and the king-size bed was dreamy. Exactly what you'd want and we'd consider it good value for money. Noz cafe (restaurant) downstairs served some fantastic food, and live music.

The hotel is in a fabulous location! Close to everything and walking around was very clean and safe. The hotel breakfast was excellent and such good value for money. The rooftop pool/bar was a nice addition, however very limited pool chairs as area is quite small. Housekeeping was outstanding.

Very comfortable stay. Close to all the restaurants shops and seafront boat ride departure zone so extremely convenient. We didn't find the outside street noise to be intrusive, having read other reviews. We were at the front of the hotel. There was a street singer on one evening but it wasn't very loud, the songs were good and it didn't go on late. Breakfast we found to be exceptional in terms of the food choices. The breakfast area gets a little crowded at times but it's a downtown hotel that you're staying in for the prime location. The bar at the front of the hotel is comfortable and quite well stocked. Prices are typical of elsewhere on the island and traveller's will be pleased with value compared with 5 star hotels in other destinations outside Portugal. The hotel is very new and the room and bathroom were decorated to a very high standard. Transfer to the airport is 25 minutes by car. I would highly recommend this hotel for travellers who want to be near to the large number of excellent local restaurants and who are planning on boat trips for whale watching and jeep tours. The rooftop pool was more than enough for us to cool down in and our 5 yo daughter enjoyed using it greatly. If you want to hang out by a large pool all day then this hotel may not be the right choice for you. We found the staff to be efficient helpful and friendly.

This hotel met our needs - clean and pleasant rooms, good beds, good breakfast buffet, helpful staff. We were not pleased with the coffee service, nor did we find the lack of parking near by the hotel helpful. We were especially pleased with the assistance the front desk staff offered us around our very early departure and treansportation to the airport.

Immaculate and Close to Everything in Old Town
We stayed at the Barcelo Funchal Oldtown for 9 nights, and found the hotel to be exceptional, with outstanding staff. Our king room was very clean, and the public areas were immaculate as well. The biggest surprise was the wealth of offerings in the included daily breakfast. Food included made to order omelets, a number of other hot items, fresh fruit, fresh baked pastries and breads, juices, automated coffee machines, cold cuts, cheeses, and many other offerings. The decor was ultra modern, and we understand the Barcelo was named the top hotel in the world by Time magazine. It has only been open for a year. The rooftop pool and seating area is very scenic and relaxing, something we visited every day. I highly recommend the Barcelo as a top notch hotel in the middle of old town Funchal. Transportation from the airport to the Barcelo by the Aerobus is very inexpensive (6 euro one way or 10 round trip - use stop 5 or 6 with a half block walk from either), and there are hundreds of shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment businesses within easy walking distance. Enjoy!

We loved this hotel and will definitely go back on our next trip to Madeira. Although in the touristic area, it was really quiet. There is no parking on site but one is conveniently located at a walking distance. We enjoyed the location closed by the water to walk at night after dinner. Staff is welcoming.
