Helpful personnel. Hotel and rooms very clean. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom big enough, toilet separate. Good choice at breakfest buffet. Water in swimming pool clean, althoguh for... More

My husband & I visit this wonderful Island yearly tending to stay in central Funchal. Ocean Gardens Hotel is certainly on the cards for another visit this year too. All the members of staff were so happy to see you and so approachable and helpful. The hotel is clean and extremely welcoming, the rooms spotless & so comfortable, the roof... More

I spent 2 weeks in Madeira recently and thoroughly enjoyed my trip. The only downside in general was the beds/pillows in other places which to my taste were too hard. So after almost two weeks I found the comfortable bed/pillows at Ocean Gardens sheer heaven! The staff were all very nice in particular the lady who greeted me who gave... More

I do not mind hotels that have seen better days, but I found Ocean Gardens disappointing: The breakfast was the negative climax, with an enormous population of ants invading the water/coffee dispensers (see picture below). The location is neither fish nor fowl, though admittedly with stunning views and an impressive rooftop garden with pool. More

The hotel is located outside of Funchal which means a travel each day. Is easy accessed via bus No.39 Bus ( yellow ) in 15 mins., cost less than 1,50 eur with card. The buses are an amazing experience, up & down also, especially going into the mountains. You can reach the hotel from airport or return to airport using... More

The hotel Ocean Gardens was very good.Despite that it was located on the mountain around 15 min(by bus) and 50 min(walking) from the city.The view at night from the hotel terrace was amazing. You cold see all city covered in lights and nice, big ships in the port.That was worth it!!!!The hotel have their own bus that is free of... More

This was our first time in Madeira and overall it was an enjoyable one. We booked a superior room which was a mistake as it was quite small (it happened to be the smallest on the floor) and from what I could make out the superior rooms have a bay view instead of a sea view. I would have preferred... More

This is a mid-size hotel on the outskirts of Funchal, 15 mins from the airport. There are 2 courtesy buses to the centre each day, but the local bus no. 39 is cheap and frequent. There is a nice pool and small sauna and jacuzzi on the roof, with magnificent views over Funchal bay. Rooms on the bay side are... More

This was a very last minute booking for us. We were following our football team who played Funchal's CS Nacional team in a Euro game and had literally one hour to chose a hotel and book a flight and then get tickets for the match the following day. The enthusiasm of the posts for this hotel helped and we were... More
