We stayed at the Funchal Design Hotel for 4 nights. The location is amazing. We walked everywhere from the hotel. However, the service really disappointed us. Every question we asked the staff the answer was always: "I don't know". They could not tell us whether the hotel had a parking lot for our rental car. We ended up parking at... More

Close to everything in Funchal, 1 block to shopping center 2 blocks to city center, 3 blocks to the port. Polite, english speaking staff. Very clean rooms with A/C and cable TV. Restaurant and bar. While the bedrooms were all white, the bathroom is black ceiling, walls and floor. Reception and entrance to rooms, elevator and stairs down also completely... More

Stayed here on 2 occasions en route to Porto Santo, had 2 bedroom suite for the family (2 &5) room ideal, good value and spotless clean. Breakfast simple but good. Had a late check out on both visits and the staff were very helpfull and accomodated us with a late check out on both occasions. Centrally located in Funchal ideal... More

Very good food at the restaurant, excellent architecture an example of thoughtful use of space in a confined space the visual from outside is carried inwards into the interior the theme fits the historic location of the hotel and the artistic futuristic design goes well together, the use of black colour in the walls gives a feeling of space and...

Well, this hotel definitely has a unique style to it. The walls are all painted black, and the hotel is decorated with funky chairs, paintings and fixtures. It's a bit dark but at the same time has its own charm to it. One thing to note about this hotel is that it is small and can feel a bit cramped,... More

We spent three nights at the Funchal Design Hotel over two occasions. The hotel itself is "chic" with black walls and greater than life size murals of dancers in white, giving it a very trendy feel. The rooms also had a lot of sharp angles and interesting lamps to carry off the feel. It is small, with a small restaurant... More

This is my second stay at this hotel and will do so again. The service is very good throughout the hotel. When I arrived they knew I had stayed before from their records and advised me as a previous guest no passport/id details needed. Stayed in an apartment this time on the top floor and although did not use the... More

Really surprised by this hotel as thought it would be a bit pretentious! We got a better deal at 66 euros p/n than their quoted rack rate by going online. Location is central without being in the heart of the really touristy (and noisy) area. We could walk to the cable car station (good reference point) in 15 mins and... More
