1 of the elevators was down and its clear this is an older hotel. Seems like they try to upcharge you for everything. I stayed at a 3 star hotel that was nicer than this one on Madeira. This is not a 4 star hotel.

The staff is not friendly. They will not answer the phone when you dial 9. You have to come down to talk to them. The bathroom had a weird small that never could be addressed. If you have any issues with A/C, there is no one to attend to it after 5:00 P.M. No drinking water in the room. I am used to hotels providing a jug of water in every room that is unheard of here. Bring you own toiletries. I had to rush and buy shampoo and conditioner.
Pros: Good breakfast options. Very close to the park where you can enjoy the ocean. Lots of restaurants near by. Very centrally located.

Everything was good as i stayed there a few times over the years, but my only complaint is the swimming pool, as i used to work as a life guard years ago at the madeira regency club, the pool looks like theres not much care for. It is all yellow at the bottom around the corners and also around the top of the swimming pool.

Clearly old hotel with broken amenities, the water from tap goes anywhere but the washbasin. When I raised it twice to the reception, they just ignored it. Average breakfast, worst coffee in my life, unpleasant staff

The cleaning standards are pretty bad. I found ants in the first night.

Lovely hotel in excellent location. Very friendly and proficient staff. Very good value.
Views over the Lido area of Funchal and the Atlantic amazing. Room spotlessly clean although a little dated. Could have done with a kettle.

The floor our room was on smelled like acetone. The floors in the room were dirty and we discovered a roach in our bed the next day.

Nice hotel. I had one of the rooms with 2 balconies on the upper floors and thought it was really good value. I do like the pool bar too.

Good location with plenty of restaurants in the area. Good choice of options for breakfast and staff helpful when one of us was gluten intolerant providing gluten free bread for breakfast and other options. Excellent value for money.

Total scam. I booked here cause of the 4 star rating, the spa and the great reviews. A pool, balconies in every room, and the location seemed perfect. We arrived at 2am because of a delayed flight. The staff present at check in was nice. Our room wasn’t very clean, but it’s so dated it’s hard to tell. The beds are uncomfortable. It was non refundable and expensive. (Some nights were 180€). We immediately found a filthy coffee cup in the cabinet with old moldy trash in it. Looked like a nest to be honest. There isn’t actually coffee either. A dead cockroach the size of my thumb on the floor. And the bathroom surfaces smeared with a dirty rag. The blackout curtains ripped and tattered. Hard concrete bed and a stained sheet. A balcony facing a dirt patch and a parking lot. We asked to be moved and the reception was kind and agreeable. But, our only other option was almost as bad, much smaller, but on a higher floor therefore it had a better view. Although a fire escape staircase is there too. The bidet has no pressure and useless. The hot water will go cold and then burn you. Two twins pushed together are uncomfortable. Only one bedside table. Ripped blackout curtains. No coffee setup at all. We asked for coffee cups and a kettle and bought our own instant coffee, but they never replaced cups. The pool is nice but freezing,and the pool bar was never open. the bar next door called the Tipsy was awesome with a really nice bartender. We didn’t bother with the food or the spa.

Definitely not a 4*. Mediocre breakfast rooms are so outdated and furniture is grubby. Pool online said it was heated in winter this was not the case, it was like swimming in ice. When asked about it at reception they said it’s because their isn’t enough people in the hotel to warrant it being heated. How are they allowed to advertise this then? Toilet constantly made a sound unless you lifted the flush up. Bathroom was very standard.

Just wonderful. I rebooked 5 more days before the end of my stay. Great location, pool, and excellent value for money! Above all else is the employees. From the moment I walked in, Isabelle and Sarah stole my heart and made me feel at home instantly! All the other staff equally as friendly. When I read some of the negative reviews- honestly, I thought those guests must have been somewhere else! Housekeeping and the wonderful masseuse downstairs were no exception to this high level of service!!

4 nights room only fine. Reasonable price, although late checkout option would not have been. Anyone with mobility issues note this is on a hill between roads and lifts to not reach all levels.

This was our 5th stay at Hotel Raga which is an affordable, well-located hotel in Funchal. Unfortunately, we've noticed quite a change in how the hotel is run after it was taken over by Muthu in 2017. The hotel just doesn't seem as friendly anymore, you can't get anything to eat by the pool and the bar there is constantly playing 'heartbreak' songs that put a bit of a damper on the mood. Further, when we first arrived we were put in a 'land-view', double room instead of the room we'd actually ordered which was a bit of a hassle. I really hate to say this because we've loved this hotel and stayed there so often, but it's just not as good as it once was.

Great to get away
Hotel clean and we'll maintained
All staff friendly and cheerful, covid protocol followed at all times
Food plentiful but a little bit the same each day ( this may have been due to restrictions??)
Overall a good holiday experience
The locals we met were all helpful and genuinely nice to us which makes travel so much nicer

Excellent hotel for the price and in a very good location with all bars,restaurants and shops within walking distance.rooms are clean,spacious and beds comfortable with nice balcony and well worth paying a bit extra for a seaview.staff very friendly and courteous and when i requested a kettle for my room,one was provided without delay.nice pool side with plenty of sunbeds and nice patio to sit+relax overlooking the sea.cant comment on breakfast as i was room only but will definitely use this hotel again-maybe as early as next month!

Friendly staff, good location close to town centre with a nice view at the sea. Cosy atmosphere.
2.5
Lovely modern hotel about 25 mins pleasant stroll into Funchal main areas. Nice spacious rooms with sea views, balcony, bathroom and seating area within room.
Only issue we had was that the beds didn't have a mattress cover on a folded sheet which rucked up and became uncomfortable.
This was only a slight niggle and it certainly wouldn't put me off staying here again.

Nice property with lovely sea views , but rooms do need updating, simply things like curtains need re hanging and light bulbs checked.

breakfast was awful: same type of old bread every single day, croissants were worse than the supermarket ones, artificial tasteless machine juices, waitresses look sad. shower plastic curtains in the bathroom full of mold, mattresses absolutely uncomfortable,old and you could feel the springs and we asked them to provide other ones but they were still bad. more than 100 apartments and less than 20 parking spaces. definitely not a 4 stars hotel
