NOT A 4 STAR HOTEL
Having just returned from this hotel, on first impressions it looked lovely! The staff were absolutely outstanding and rushed off their feet, more staff were needed at various times of the day. The bedroom we had was very shabby, carpets needed a clean, bathroom smelt mouldy. This room itself was very musty smelling even though I opened the doors! The curtains in the whole of the hotel were either just about hanging or off their hooks no dressing of curtains at all. I know this might sound pedantic but for a 4 star hotel I expected better. The furniture in the main reception area was very well worn and dirty looking. Carpets on the landings leading to bedrooms was coming away from the skirting boards which I think this needed replacing throughout. The menu was the same all week, so as we are not big eaters, we only had a main course which was either steak, lamb chops or salmon. Hardly any vegetables and no salads on the menu in the evening. The road outside the hotel is very narrow with no pavement so you have to be very careful to get to the public bus stop which I must say is very cheap to go into Funchal. The terrace area had not been swept all week! They had a pianist playing which was lovely but not first thing in the morning at breakfast this should have been played in the evening whilst dinner was being served. Not everyone wants to go out of the hotel in the evening it would have been nice to hear the piano being played instead of the awful jazz music they had playing. In all very disappointed. I would inform people to get a hotel nearer the town as at least you can go for walks in the evening. Taxis tend to charge what they like so be wary and haggle with them! Madeira is a lovely place to visit but I would not go back to this hotel.

The perfect place to stay in Funchal.
The PERFECT place to stay while in Funchal. Quiet, comfortable, large rooms and extra-kind staff, both at the hotel and at the restaurant "As Vistas". Large on-site parking, indoor and outdoor. Reception desk 24/7. Free swimming pool looking at the ocean, free spa, free gym, with comfy chairs and large towels available. Clean to a fault. Very good breakfast. Bus 11 has a stop less than two minutes from walking distance and it takes you to city center.

Not as advertised
The hotel needs a total refurbishment. The description on the Barcelo website is inaccurate. The pool bar is none existent.
5 Stars

Madeira holiday
Quinta Funchal Gardens Hotel is a lovely place to stay with beautiful views, great pools, good food and friendly & helpful staff. I would strongly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday and a good base from which to enjoy and explore both Funchal and the island of Madeira.
