Vila Baleira Funchal

Hotel zeer goed gelegen en met goed ontbijt. De kamer en de badkamer waren echter niet hetzelfde als de foto's lieten zien, ze waren wat ouder. Kastdeur ging niet goed open en maakte veel lawaai. Helaas waren er ook mieren in de slaapkamer en badkamer.

Room is spacious with balcony. Outside the hotel, there are public buses going to Funchal center. It's also located in the shopping area with restaurants and supermarkets. You can sit at rooftop to have a sea view. Breakfast buffet is good. Airport is less than half hour on taxi.

Everything fine, to be recommended.

Quartos com fraco isolamentos acústico,muito barulho a noite na rua. Pequeno almoço bom

服務很不錯，位置也很方便，機場大巴在酒店門口就有站點

It is a hotel far below what it presents itself. The most disturbing thing is that they stole from us in the parking lot. They told us that it costs 8 euros and they overcharged us with 22.5 euros. I notified them, they accepted the error and still did not pay the money back.

Location is great. Housekeeping excellent. Room was clean and comfortable. My bed was comfortable but my husband's bed was not (can feel the springs). The hall carpets very dirty. Lack of staff. Poor customer service at reception. The process was not explained for the pool towels and the parking card. We did not receive pool and parking cards in our envelope. The roof top pool is very nice. No staff there though. No bar men available. It is extremely hot and there's no shade provided. We asked for umbrellas but were told they don't do that in October even though it was mid 30s!! It was too hot to be there without shades!! The neighbouring hotel had umbrellas. With staff attendants always present. The wall plant, at the pool, was knocked over and soil was left on the pool deck. The soil spillage was still there 3 days later. Breakfast is included. It has a lot of variety. Cold foods great (fruit, breads, cakes, cheeses) but hot food was a low rating (eggs tasteless, bacon and pancakes sit too long and are hard),

Very nice and conveniently located 4* hotel. Offers peace and quiet, lovely breakfast with multiple international options. It has a swimming pool which I have not used due to colder temperatures in December (20C degrees). The Aerobus stop is next to the hotel (the airport bus for €5 single trip) and the return trip bus stop #15 is on the opposite side of the road. Also the Red open top Funchal Sightseeing Bus has its stop at the same places. The room service at the hotel is regular and effective. The Reception team is very helpful and fluent in foreign languages. The hotel provides guests with a kettle and a few instant coffee sachets and Tetley teabags. Tetley tea is a big brand in Madeira- it is served at almost every restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, bottled mineral water is not provided on a daily basis. We got just one 1.5 l bottle on the day one of our 6 days stay and that was it. The interior design style of the hotel is modern- very pleasant and comfortable. We had a side view on the sea from the hotel window which was beautiful especially during the sunset. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were on the soft side, a bit too soft for me. We had extra pillows and extra duvet available in the room as well as a good quality hairdryer. The bathroom had a transparent glass door as well as the shower cabin. The TV had all the international cable TV, which was very helpful to keep in touch with the daily news. I would definitely stay at Villa Baleira again.

+ Modern Hotel with rooftop pool & terrace (unheated) + Large room with good WIFI + Good buffet breakfast with plenty of options + Good location in Lido, lots of restaurants & coastline nearby (or 25-30min walk into Funchal) - Only two lifts in the building, and one was out of service during our stay which meant occasionally waiting up to 5 minutes for the lift. - Restaurant for breakfast has no windows (eg. no sunrise / natural light) - Bathrooms seemed a bit outdated compared to the rest of the room / building.
