Really liked the balcony and the location, and the flexibility of the late check-in, those were great. Not so great: - Information provided at check-in by staff, particularly around the opening times of the hotel restaurant and room service, was poor - No menus provided at all in the room for food provided by restaurant or roof top bar - No room service in the evenings - Restaurant does not open at lunch but still has restaurant lunch hours displayed which led to confusion - Reservations for restaurant must be made day before or at the latest in the morning of the day of, no walk-ins, but was not informed of this at all (as this was during the business trip side of my travel, it meant I had to order Uber eats so as to not go hungry because I could not go outside the hotel due to work and there was also no room service available in the evening) - Breakfast food quality was poor, very disappointing - Given new towels that were dirty the night before check out - One of the twin beds was really loud, squeaking quite badly and awakening person sharing room with - Upon check out was told service charge tax had been calculated incorrectly and had to pay an extra €2 or so, that in itself wasn’t a problem, but when coupled with everything else that wasn’t great, this felt like adding insult to injury I felt that for a four star hotel, my experience here was really lacking and I was left frustrated and dissatisfied.

+ 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 no sunrise / natural light) - Bathrooms seemed a bit outdated compared to the rest of the room / building.

Great area with many restaurants, souvenir shops and the shopping centre all within walking distance. Very close to the Lido where you can swim in the pool and the ocean. The property contained a large swimming pool as well as a bar. On the other hand the gym size was a little disappointing with not much equipment. The waiting area in the reception is very luxurious and overall the interior of the hotel is stunning. With most of the room very clean I did notice on top of the fridge was very dusty, but overall I really enjoyed my stay and the stuff were very friendly and helpful

Due to the Oscar Storm we were exhausted on arrival, Marcio welcomed us at the reception with no warm welcome whatsoever, not much care about mentioning the day we lost trying to enter Madeira. Bathroom had hair on the bathtub on arrival, safe wasn’t working, we waited for maintenance but had to leave with our valuables and jewellery, only when we came back in the evening the safe was fixed. No pens in the room to write on the laundry sheet. Balcony only had one chair, others had two as we could see from outside. Allison from reception was a star always kind and very helpful. On our last day the pool in the morning wasn’t available for a swim, and after check out the first night we lost wasn’t mentioned again, and we had to keep our luggage ourselves in a room without a ticket, not very safe even though there was a camera. Breakfast was really good, all the staff so effective and polite, the sparkling wine was very nice and given to us for my wife’s birthday. Upon reaching out to hotels.com and speaking to the hotel about the refund of the first night the hotel replied to have no one in today to approve the refund, not happy at all.

This is a nice hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a sea view room on the 3rd floor which overlooks the main road which we liked but might be a little noisy for some. The beds are a little hard for our taste and pillows very small, had to ask for extra pillows which was not a problem. Room was cleaned every day and towels changed too if you throw them in the bath. Rooftop pool is small pleasant, a bit cold in December though. Pool bar reasonably priced decent food and drink during the day. All in all enjoyed our 9 day stay.

Amazing experience. Although Hotels.com did not pass on our full booking to the Hotel, the staff promptly ajusted the reservation to our requirements. Loved it all. Hotels.com lay down the booking quickly and the Lince Hotel promoted us a wonderful stay, an amazing experience. Thank you to all the Lince Hotel staff and Hotels.com.

Great location, clean and good customer service, but confused with the dining options at the restaurant in the evening. A menu is displayed at the entrance, but once seated a half board set menu was the only option. Furthermore, for a 4* hotel the bathrooms require updating and the complimentary toiletries upgraded.

The positive of this hotel is definitely the location. Right in the Lido area; it’s very handy to most of Funchal and it’s tourist spots.The hotel owe a lot to their staff too whom are very kind and welcoming.A few points that made I wasn’t so happy about:The room I booked stated an included breakfast, but when I arrived, they said I had to pay extra for it.The bathroom had fixtures missing.The room was very basic, and not as inviting as the images suggest, but it was still pleasant.

A lince is big cat (lynx in latin). Think of it as a mix between your domesticised cat and a leopard. The lince is extinct in the UK,just as 4 star quality is extinct in this hotel I used hotels.com with and filtered on 4 stars hotel with good reviews. The lobby is nice and the staff friendly but the room and corridors are not nice. The carpets in the corridors are very dirty and smelly. The room we got, 103 had was no way near fresh. There were lots of dark scratches or dirt on the toilet seat, the arm chairs in the room are dirty and stained. After complaining we got room 307 which was slightly better, but still dirty and stained arm chairs, still some smell. There were also mould in the bathroom. The wooden floor you might see on the pictures, is the cheapest wood imitation I have seen. The staff is mostly friendly, the above problems I consider to be a management issue. The management apparently has not invested in the hotel for a long time. The pool area at least looks nice, though we did not use it. The breakfast has quite a few choices, but most of it feels to be of low quality, so I stuck to fruit, vegetables and bread. The morning we were checking out we wanted to start having breakfast as soon as they opened (7:30), since we had a plane to catch. But breakfast preparations were late and staff showed discontent, when we knocked on the door. I can honestly say I will never return to this hotel

The Lince Hotel was a good choice for our first visit to Madeira and I would recommend it and would certainly consider it if we visited again. However, it wasn't without fault and I would understand others marking it lower than I did. Our room was under the swimming pool (located on the fourth floor) and the noise of the filtration system was a little on the noisy side. There was a large crack on the bedroom wall. There was an infestation of ants and the hallway carpet was as bad as I have seen still in use. These issues might sound bad but they really weren't, the ants seem to be a Madeira problem rather than just the hotel, the crack could and probably should be repaired easily and I'm sure the carpet will be changed in the low season, it looks as though the stains and damage are as a result of recent building works.As far as we were concerned the positives outweighed the negatives, the staff were great, very helpful, and friendly. The balcony in the room was excellent, perfect for people watching or gazing out to sea. The bedroom was spacious acceptably comfortable with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space.The pool area was great and quiet during our stay offering plenty of loungers and seating .The breakfast was adequate with a good selection, hot and cold. Funchal is a leisurely twenty minute walk away if the varied selection of restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity don't appeal to you,
