  Nice location, small rooms but very clean and modern design

  11 Jan 2026

  The location is fabulous for walking to restaurants and shopping and even the port! Front desk staff are very attentive, coming out of their office most times guests walk in or out. The only reason I'm giving a medium rating is the beds felt like a board. The hotel is thin and situated on a corner, so I don't think it has many rooms. We were on the top floor, the 4th, and my room was on the end so it had one slanted wall. The bathroom mirror and glass sliding door that could be slid to separate the bathroom from the bed were both slanted at an angle. It was ok for me at 5'8" but a taller person could've been bothered. My room had two closets and a small desk until the TV. The window shades worked by remote but when open, the 4th floor is above the treeline so you can see the lights of the island. We enjoyed the hotel breakfast buffet each morning, with fresh fruit grown locally, like the bananas the island is known for.

  Booking cancelled and rebooked

  22 Oct 2025

  We had a booking at this hotel in the city center of Funchal. We had spent a week in little town of Ponta do Sol with ocean view and spa. We were looking forward to stay here, but upon arrival we were told that they could not give us our room. The precious guests were injured from a hiking accident and had to stay (doctor’s orders). So the hotel staff told us at check-in about all of this and told us that they had a new reservation for us in another hotel. Not in city center. With a spa and a sea view. We were NOT impressed by that and decided to leave our booking and make a new one on our own in the city center. (We stayed at Barcelo instead). We would have appreciated a message from this hotel as soon as they knew about all of this. Not only upon arrival. Sadly not a great review for them.

  Fantastic Place For Seeing Finchal

  19 Oct 2025

  Just got back today from Maderia. We stayed in Funchal Design Hotel. I cannot rate this hotel enough. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Ido not understand the criticism being given on some reviews, what do they want? The place was exceptionally clean and central to where you need to be / get to. Don't hesitate to book this place you won't regret it.

  Fab little place

  21 Feb 2024

  Excellent little hotel in the city centre. Fantastic little rooms very nice design and loved my room with a view. The service was absolutely first class from all the staff from the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed by the lovely lady I don’t remember your name but you were fantastic. Also the girl from venezuela who served me in breakfast was amazing as was the chef. I can’t wait to return to Funchal and will book here first or the sister hotel Quinta Mirabela which has excellent facilities sauna steam jacuzzi swimming etc. Well done guys see you soon. All the best Ayiaz
