We’ve had an absolutely lovely time at this hotel. We have no complaints. It’s in a fantastic location, quiet peaceful area. Our room was a good size and it was cleaned everyday. No complaints with the food, always a decent amount of options and always enjoyable. The staff were great especially the pool/bar staff and the dinner staff. We found the night time manager to be a lot more approachable than the day time. However it the effort made to get everyone on the roof for the fireworks was really nice. We will definitely be returning and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Hidden gem

This hotel is a hidden gem in Madeira. We had passes this hotel many times during our multiple trips to the island. An opportunity arose on jet2 webb site and we booked for one week. We were delighted with our choice. From the front staff,hospitality at its highest. Nothing was too much bother. Food was delicious,drinks were plentiful and the extra bonus was the 2 libraries. Thank you for a lovely stress free holiday and we hope to return soon

Lovely week in Madeira staying at the Girassol hotel

10.0

Had a lovely week in Madeira staying at the Hotel Girassol. Reception staff were helpful, restaurant/bar staff attentive and cleaning staff did a great job, although most of the time they did it without us even seeing them. Bed and pillows great. Rooms were a lovely size and having the bedroom and living room aspect was really nice. Bathroom was a good size and nice having a bath and lovely big sink. We were on the 11th floor facing Funchal so had fab views as well. Food in the restaurant was well stocked, although have been used to a bit more choice in the evening. But saying that, always had a lovely meal and Portuguese wine was beautiful. All in all a great stay, so thank you Girassol team.

Needs improvement

2nd visit Won’t be a third 🙁 Returned after 10 months Good enough for the price but there are issues that need to be addressed So won’t return Carpets in public areas ( corridors worn and dirty ) Meals “ok” not a lot of choice and not always warm enough Rooms basic but clean Pool area needs a spruce up Always enough loungers Senior pool attendant acts like a gestapo Luckily he wasn’t there for last two days He’s the talk of the poolside with his attitude I asked for a coffee at 10:55 and was reminded like a school child that “all inclusive” was 11:00 ! He guards the towels in a locked cupboard He’s very rude The younger lads & ladies are lovely He needs telling He was here last year so he obviously gets away with his rudeness & attitude The dinning room staff are lovely too The room maid obviously works very hard The rooms are spotless every day Big shout out to the maid who does room 408 She’s worth twice mr nasty pool guy It’s 25 minutes walk into the centre of Funchaul and €2 bus ride back as it’s up hill Not great for kids I wouldn’t think as it’s mainly older people
