Very good hotel, great staff, well located, spacious and clean room. Nice breakfast

Lovely hotel in an amazing location. Beds and pillows so comfortable and breakfast has a good range. Some noise until around 10pm each night but overall a great hotel id happily recommend

Great location in heart of old town, very walkable to all major sights and restaurants etc. Excellent breakfast and service. Highly recommend.

The Barcelo Funchal Oldtown hotel is the hotel to stay if you want to be right in the center of the historic district of Funchal and right across from the Lido Promenade and from the Cathedral. It is walking distance to all of Funchal sightseeing sites. This is a wonderful hotel. It is very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms are of a nice size and the bathrooms are impeccable. The lobby and the bar area are lovely and spacious. The breakfast offerings are generous - with a very wide assortments of items. (They even make the omelettes and fried eggs to your liking.) The hotel has a super nice rooftop pool area (on the 5th floor), with an infinity pool and with panoramic views of Funchal. (It also has a spa and a small gym - which we did not get to use.) As this hotel is located in the very center of the oldtown, there are plenty of restaurants right outside and around the hotel, as well as many shops of all kinds (e.g., gift, clothing, gelatto stores). Right around the hotel, there is even a taxi stand and even a McDonalds!) This hotel is very well maintained (I was told that it was recently opened - so all rooms, bathrooms, etc, appear as brand new.) The reception staff is terrific, and if you have a late flight out of Madeira, this hotel has a safe room right behind the reception area where you can store your luggage after you check out of the hotel and which you can pick up before you leave for the airport. When I return to Madeira, I will definitely stay here.

The location is perfect and the staff is very friendly. Also, the restaurant on site has amazing food.

Absolutely loved everything about this property (except the parking situation.) I loved the way it smelled when we walked in, the front desk staff was polite and friendly, the room was clean, the bed was nicely sized, the sheets were amazing, the air condition worked great, the bathroom was fancy, the pool had an amazing view, and there was so much to do within walking distance.

Their roof top view of millions of lights at night is spectacular! Plus there is a bar and pool on that deck. Hotel is beautiful, easy to reach harbor, funicular, great restaurants by foot. Breakfast had huge varieties of everything from cold cuts to fresh exotic fruits, great fresh baked bread and omelets if you like. Would stay there again!

Staff very attentive, great location!
