Very nice hotel in great location in the "old town" and on the sea front. We had a standard room with a small balcony overlooking the park. This was a bit noisy on the Friday and Saturday nights so it's best to pay the extra for a sea view room. Funchel itself is very nice and not expensive, the people are very friendly.

Great location and facilities. We were there for New year, the gala dinner was excellent , the staff went above and beyond to entertain the guests. I would definitely recommend hotel for older or infirm as they seemed very well catered for. The only thing I could fault was the breakfast juice from a machine was awful, more like squash.

Great location to explore old town and generally of a high standard. Be careful which room you book as the basic ones are on the side of the hotel and get no sun nor views. We switched to an another room after a couple of days which was more money but had a great sea view(145).

Clean, comfortable and friendly, efficient staff that gave good service. Lots of food at breakfast but not quite of the quality expected. If visiting you should know that ground floor rooms are sold as being full sea view.

Lovely hotel, clean. Good location within walking distance of town. Close to the old town where there are lots of good restaurants less than 5minutes away Staff friendly but service at Happy Hour was a little slow - due to not quite enough staff Our room on the ground floor was close to the pool pump room and quite noisy from 7am

This is an excellent hotel and Ive stayed here for many years. The only issue, for no fault of the hotel, is the west facing bedrooms. They overlook a small park area where local undesirables congregate until the very early hours, also some bars close to the hotel, are open until 2am on the weekends. Unless you are a heavy sleeper its noisy.
