The Windsor is centrally located in the old town, although it's in a rather unprepossing street with an ugly facade. Other reviews have mentioned noise, but this didn't trouble us. The room was very dark and dingy-lights didn't work and the view over the car park was gloomy. However, it was clean. The bathroom had a hairdrier, small sachets of... more

Stayed here for a week on the basis of previous reviews and was certainly not disappointed. The location couldn't be better right in the heart of Funchal and parking in their secure courtyard a big bonus but I wouldn't recommend accessing with anything bigger than a compact car! Very pleasant and helpful staff and found the included continental breakfast perfectly... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more
