    Misleading Advertisement: The Apartment Was in Terrible Condition

    rating02 Jun 2026

    Very disappointing experience at Dorisol Florasol Residence Hotel.The apartment we received was extremely old, outdated, and completely different from the renovated apartment shown in the booking photos. Most importantly, it did not include the balcony that was clearly part of the booking description and voucher.We specifically booked a renovated balcony apartment, but instead we were placed in an old apartment of a much lower standard. From outside the hotel it is clearly visible that most renovated apartments have balconies, yet the hotel still insisted that this was “a Transavia issue” and refused to take any responsibility.The bathroom conditions were also unacceptable. The bathtub/shower drain was blocked, causing water to accumulate while showering, which created both an unhygienic and dangerous situation.What was most shocking was the attitude of the hotel staff. Instead of apologizing or trying to properly solve the issue, they effectively preferred that we leave the hotel — which is ultimately what we had to do. At no point did the hotel apologize for the misleading advertisements and mismatch between the booked accommodation and the actual apartment provided.This completely ruined the beginning of our holiday experience.Would not recommend unless you are prepared to risk receiving an apartment very different from what is advertised.

    They treat you like cattle!!!! The hotel needs refurbishment and the staff needs training in customer service. Avoid them like the plague!!!! Filipa Teixeira, Marketing at Florasol Residence Hotel by Dorisol Hotels, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for your feedback.We take all comments seriously. However, we were unable to identify any guest experience corresponding to the situation described, which makes it difficult for us to fully understand the context of this review.

    Many thanks to Roger the hotel Manager and his team.

    rating12 May 2026

    This was our first stay in Madeira.We were very happy with our stay at your hotel. We had a 5th floor room. We are glad we did as we had a sea view. We would recommend requesting this floor or above if you want a sea view.The hotel was clean. Our room was light and airy. We did not expect anything “fancy” . Our room was cleaned daily. Our towels were lovely and soft. The fridge was full sized. There was washing up liquid, a brush and tea towel provided.We were half board. We were more than happy with our meals. I like fish, there was always a good choice of both fish and meat dishes.The staff were polite and friendly. Always smiling. Roger the manager is very professional. The senior restaurant staff in particular were excellent.We didn’t want somewhere with loud music all night. The hotel is just the right size for us. When you go for a meal there are like minded people to have a conversation with.The hotel is a 40 minute flat walk to the bus station and cable car in Funchal.You can get the bus 001 and 002 there for 2.5 euros. The hotel has lots of information on getting around.We did a free walking tour of the historical part of the Island,on our first full day( you pay what you think it is worth at the end of the tour). We also did a tour of the East and one of the West of the Island.We took the bus from the bus station to Monte Palace Gardens which were excellent. Filipa Teixeira, Marketing at Florasol Residence Hotel by Dorisol Hotels, responded to this review Dear Chris,Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful review of your recent stay with us at Hotel Florasol.We are truly pleased to know that your first visit to Madeira was such a positive experience and that you enjoyed your stay, particularly the comfort of your room, the sea view, and the overall cleanliness. It is also very rewarding to hear that our half board offering met your expectations, especially the variety of fish and meat dishes.Your kind words about our team are greatly appreciated. We will be sure to share your feedback with all staff, especially our restaurant team. A special thank you as well for your recognition of our General Manager, Rogério Petraglia, your comments mean a lot to us.We are also glad that you valued the calm and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel, as well as the information provided to help you explore the island. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of your time in Madeira and enjoyed the local experiences.Thank you as well for your helpful tip regarding the higher floors and sea views — we are sure future guests will find this very useful.We truly hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future.Kind regards,Rogério PetragliaGeneral ManagerHotel Florasol

    Did The Job

    rating08 May 2026

    Third time in Madeira and third different hotel. This was probably the worst of a good bunch but only due to the apparent lack of atmosphere. thankfully we were using it purely as a base and not to spend time socialising or drinking in the bar so it suited us just fine.Quick and easy check in. I was a bit disappointed at first to find we were on the third floor so not in the high rise but directly overlooking the busy road. However the room was spacious and airy with a large covered in balcony with table chairs and sofa. Great for people watching and the excellent glazing meant that we did not hear any noise through the night. Even when we sat on the balcony through the day, the sound of the passing traffic and general hub-bub wasn't an issue.Clean towels , clean sheets, amazingly powerful shower, full size fridge with freezer compartment in the kitchen area. Cannot complain. The beds were rock hard but we were so tired with all the walking and sightseeing that we amazingly slept like logs.Staff in the dining room were amazing. Your plate was taken away immediately. always greeted with a happy smile. Food was basic but plentiful, the usual, hot cooked eggs beans etc, cold meats and yogurts/cereals. Bought my own juice but its very rare you get nice juice wherever you stay. We kept our room as we had a late flight and paid 40E for four hours. The weather was pleasant, although rained for the flower parade and it was never really hot enough to lie around the pool. thankfully lying around the pool wasn't our main aim.Great location , next to some lovely restaurants like Goya and the Lido Grill. Lovely restaurant staff. Did the job, thanks very much Filipa Teixeira, Marketing at Florasol Residence Hotel by Dorisol Hotels, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review following your stay with us.We truly appreciate your honest feedback and are pleased to know that you enjoyed several aspects of your experience, particularly the spacious room, balcony, cleanliness, powerful shower, convenient kitchen facilities, and the friendliness of our dining room team. It is especially rewarding to know that our staff made a positive impression with their service and welcoming attitude.We also appreciate your comments regarding the atmosphere of the hotel. Guest feedback is extremely valuable to us as we continuously look for ways to improve the overall experience we provide.It is great to hear that the location worked well for your visit and that you were able to enjoy Madeira and some of the nearby restaurants during your stay.Thank you once again for choosing Dorisol on your third visit to Madeira. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.Kind regards,Rogério PetragliaGeneral ManagerFlorasol Residence Hotel
