Enotel Magnolia

Hotel is centrally situated for both old and new town and amenities nearby. Not too big and suits couples. Staff are friendly and helpful. Loved the tasteful, newly refurbished rooms. We have stayed several times before in a sea view room but took a garden room this time which is quieter. Evening meals good. Enjoyed the evening entertainment.

Excellent restaurant and excellent room with lovely view . Room spacious and well designedWe had a sea view on the sixth floor and lifts were very available. Restaurant breakfasts were excellent with plenty choice, as with dinners.Only criticism for us was that there was no bath.

My husband and I usually stay in 4* or 4* plus hotels and this hotel was as good.We thought the hotel staff were excellent.Nothing was too much trouble for any of them.It is so nice to be greeted with a smile wherever you are.The restaurant buffet area is quite small, but we never needed to queue for food even though it was busy.We had the later sitting which wasn't as busy as the earlier one.We had a lovely variety of dishes to choose from.I enjoyed every meal including the show cooking steak and fish.There were some delicious fish dishes in tasty sauces!I also liked the fact there was a selection of fresh fruits for breakfast and for the evening meal.We had paid extra for a room with sea view but couldn't sleep with the road noise..I found the room rather dark due to the traditional dark wood furnishings.The following morning we asked reception of we could have a quieter room and were delighted with the room we were offered in the Sunrise Wing waking up to the sound of birdsong was heaven! The hotel was spotlessly clean..Pool area was great as was all the floral arrangements displayed in the communal spaces.A special mention must go to Carlos and the Boys who run the bar.They work hard but find time to make you feel special.Drinks are comparable with surrounding bars.Cocktails were good as was the wine and local beer..We enjoyed the local Poncha cocktail!Warning.It's got a kick!Would we return to this hotel?You bet.We loved it.Thanks to all the staff for making it a memorable holiday.

Excellent hotel. Room cleaned daily. Excellent and varied choice of breakfast and dinner meals. Be prepared to pay for tap water at your table 'tho! Staff very friendly and English speaking. Within walking distance of the centre of Funchal and all that the city has to offer.

Hotel was lovely in a good position .Staff were friendly and worked very hard to keep the hotel spotless. Overall the food was good and we really enjoyed staying at the hotel and would recommend it for middle aged couples who want a relaxing experience.

A very nice hotel though a little tired in places. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. They were absolutely brilliant and nothing was too much trouble.. We stayed half board and the food was always excellent. The waiters and kitchen staff were always ready to accommodate every need. Excellent bar staff as well - always smiling and joking. The entertainment was very poor especially on Christmas Eve and we went to our room at 10pm so a little disappointing. Christmas day was a no no. But, this was to be expected in a Country that celebrate on Christmas Eve. I would stay again but if I did, I would be very much wiser as this was the first time at this hotel and indeed in Maderia. Downside: There was no iron or ironing board available and no matter how well you pack, there is always something that could do with an iron. I found the laundry costs to be too high.

super hotel just up a very steep hill. Not good if you are bad on your legs and certainly no good if you have breathing or heart problems. Breakfast is good but can be a bit of a maul to collect the serving area doesn't seem big enough. entertainment every night which was gentle and relaxing.

Hotel in a great position in Funchal, half way between the old town and the lido. Parts of the hotel are a little dated, but all fit for purpose. Pool area pleasant and the indoor pool/Jacuzzi great for early evening wind down and relaxation. Plenty of choice in the restaurant and drinks reasonably priced. Overall a lovely week in Madeira.

Great hotel food was excellent very very clean only thing I could not understand hotel bar closed at 11 o'clock but everything else was great , staff were very helpful and very pleasant couldn't do enough for you entertainment was ok ,would recommend this hotel to people no bother
