Good value hotel in the heart of Central Funchal
This is one of very few hotels located in the heart of Funchal and is ideal for people seeking to explore the centre of the town. The hotel is situated on a narrow street with lots of traffic so it can be noisy at the front. Our room was at the back of the hotel and was very quiet. As a bonus the hotel provides free parking for up to around 8 cars in a small yard at the centre of the hotel complex. We paid 55 euro per night for an ensuite double room, including breakfast and felt that this was very good value for money. The bed was... more

Much better places in Funchal
My best friend and I stayed at the Windsor for 3 nights over Easter holiday. We thought the hotel was not a 4*, much more of 3* - the room was quite dated and the bathroom needed to be redone. It is true the location was central but we just noticed walking around how many amazing resorts were available on the island which made the Windsor seem even more average. I also found one staff member in particular to be extremely rude when I tried to bring another friend of ours up to our room. I was told the only person allowed in the room with me... more

Great location and not a bad hotel at all!
Got back from the Windsor Hotel last week, and have to say Madeira is a beautiful place to stay. Booked the hotel on beatthatquote and it worked out at about £30 each for 3 nights! WOW! The location is superb, with a 10 minute walk to the marina and a 5 minute walk to the centre of Funchal. There is a supermarket about a minute's walk away if you have forgotten any holiday essentials. Don't expect a british 4* hotel, but expect a clean one with good facilities. The bathroom is quite big, and though we had no holder for the... more

Good value Hotel
Good value for money hotel in the heart of Funchal, staff are very helpful and friendly and breakfast is continental type and plenty of it. If you are a light sleeper I recommend that you ask for a room at the back of the Hotel when you book as we had a room on the first floor at the front and had alot of noise from the road late at night , and at 7.30am every morning breakfast starts and you hear the noise of the chairs being pulled about, but really that was the only complaint we had. Location for buses and shops and harbour... more

Convenient base
We stayed at the Windsor for 2 nights, at the end of a 1 week tour of the island. The main attraction of the Windsor its its convenient location, combined with good value. It really is in the heart of the town, and the convenience of being able to step outside and straight onto the bussling streets was great. We'd previously stayed at one of the larger hotels in the hotel district, and whilst this provided undeniably more luxury for us the 15 minute walk from the district into town offset that. The rooms were simple but adequate... more

Fabulous position
What a little gem!! 5 minutes to the Sea, Bus Station, Old Town, Market and the shops. Dead centre. The rooms are light and airy, excellent facilities but 4 star in Portugal is not what 4 star is in the UK. So what, once you have sat on the roop top terrace with the pool and an incredible view, you realise how lucky you are having chosen this Hotel. Free fridge in the room, just ask for a Key, and a very good Supermarket 50 yards away to stock up. The breakfast is very basic, the usual ham and cheese, cereals, jumbo croissants,... more

Hotel adequate, but
The hotel boasts that it is the only 4 star hotel in Funchal, a jewel of a town that we enjoyed immensely. One of the hotel's selling points for us was the roof-top pool with pool bar, but this was never open during our stay - lack of staff was given as the excuse. Staff excellent and the hotel very handily situated especially for the bar directly opposite the front entrance! The Madeiran people are some of the friendliest I have ever met and none more so than in the Lanterna. Dario sparkles when asked to make cocktails, but beware of... more

Excellent value for a central hotel
The hotel is centrally located with secure parking facilies. It was ideal for our two night stay providing cheerful and helpful service, a comfortable and good-sized room, space to sit downstairs when it poured with rain, and a breakfast with several choices. The price was very reasonable and significantly lower than many others that we considered. By UK standards it was probably 3 star rather than 4 star in quality, but for our first visit to Madeira staying in 3 centres it was an excellent base to see something of Funchal, and... more

Excellent location, good service.
Stayed there 18th till 25th December 2006. Had booked before reading reviews and was a bit worried. The room was pretty small and not all that well laid out, we had a room away from the road, (the odd numbers) so it was quiet. Maybe it's noisy in the evens... Anyway, we had no problems at all with the property other that its size. Clean, not smoky, public areas as well. Breakfast OK apart from dilute orange ( which I've seen around the island elsewhere). The location is great though, only a short walk from cable car, buses, sea,... more

Hated the Hotel Windsor
Although this hotel receives favourable mention in several guidebooks, my partner and I found it a most unpleasant place to stay and cannot understand why it has 4 stars. The room which we were allocated stank of stale cigarette smoke, but we were forced to stay there for 2 nights until another room became available. On asking for a non-smoking room, we were told that all rooms were "non-smoking", this despite the provision of ashtrays throughout! Both rooms we experienced were extremely cold with an air of dampness, featured... more
