Great

Room is spacious with balcony. Outside the hotel, there are public buses going to Funchal center. It's also located in the shopping area with restaurants and supermarkets. You can sit at rooftop to have a sea view. Breakfast buffet is good. Airport is less than half hour on taxi.

Average hotel for a short stay ok. But the pictures of the bathroom in the superior room do not match.

The service is very good and the location is very convenient. The airport bus stops at the hotel entrance.

Hotel very well located and with good breakfast. However the room and the bathroom were not the same as the photos showed, they were a little older. Wardrobe door didn't open well and was noisy. Unfortunately there were also ants in the bedroom and bathroom.

All I can say is it was a nice stay. I wouldn't stay here again, let's say that much. The staff were absolutely lovely but the cleaning service and bar service is little to be desired. I left a note for the room to be cleaned a few times. They took no rubbish and left dirty cups on the side which baffled me (obviously dirty as had coffee stains), and rubbish left with beer bottles. I went to the pool on my last day and had to ask to be served. The waiter was lovely when he did serve but it was very off putting. Maybe as a single female you shouldn't be coming somewhere like here? I've stayed in hotels all over the world and I'd say this could possibly be the worst hospitality wise. Also , noise wise from other rooms is horrendous. I was woken twice by either next door or above using the toilet. If you want somewhere to rest I wouldn't recommend here as I feel far from rested. Thank god for ear plugs!

I've not even stayed one night yet and I've never been so disappointed with a hotel. Check in was diabolical! No apologies for a wait. If you want food, the chef needs a pre booking. The whole place is a shambles, only another 5 nights to go. If I had the money I'd be going elsewhere.

Recently stayed at this hotel for a few nights. Friendly staff members and welcoming. Hotel very well located in the city limits near the popular attractions and a lot of great restaurants and grocery store. From the outside, the hotel looks very modern, clean. The lobby looks great! Going upstairs on the floors, the carpets are dirty, stained, outdated. Rooms are spacious, but furniture seems old, outdated, beds are extremely hard. Underground parking available for a cheap fee!

Hotel cancelled my room without notifying or refunding me. I booked directly with the hotel so this wasn't a 3rd party issue. When I arrived at the hotel, they didn't apologize for their mistake or take any action in helping me find a place to stay. Rude staff and had to sleep on the floor in the airport for the night.

It is a hotel far below what it presents itself. The most disturbing thing is that they stole from us in the parking lot. They told us that it costs 8 euros and they overcharged us with 22.5 euros. I notified them, they accepted the error and still did not pay the money back.

Location is great. Housekeeping excellent. Room was clean and comfortable. My bed was comfortable but my husband's bed was not (can feel the springs). The hall carpets very dirty. Lack of staff. Poor customer service at reception. The process was not explained for the pool towels and the parking card. We did not receive pool and parking cards in our envelope. The roof top pool is very nice. No staff there though. No bar men available. It is extremely hot and there's no shade provided. We asked for umbrellas but were told they don't do that in October even though it was mid 30s!! It was too hot to be there without shades!! The neighbouring hotel had umbrellas. With staff attendants always present. The wall plant, at the pool, was knocked over and soil was left on the pool deck. The soil spillage was still there 3 days later. Breakfast is included. It has a lot of variety. Cold foods great (fruit, breads, cakes, cheeses) but hot food was a low rating (eggs tasteless, bacon and pancakes sit too long and are hard),
Response from Property: Dear guest, Thank you very much for your preference, in visiting our Hotel Vila Baleira Funchal. Your description about your stay was very helpful, so that we can improve. Our priority are the guests satisfaction. We hope seeing you in the nearest future. Kindest Regards, Bruno Martins Hotel Manager Hotéis Vila Baleira & Resorts
