Funchal
Funchal is one of those special holiday destinations you'll want to come back to. With its idyllic climate, beautiful beaches and fine mix of shops, bars and restaurants, it gives holidaymakers a perfectly-balanced holiday. For sightseeing, beach-time and taking it easy - Funchal is the place to choose. All you need now is the perfect hotel - and with its four star facilities and sleek, chic style, the Enotel Magnolia (formerly the Enotel Quinta Do Sol) is an excellent choice.
Exceptional location and amenities make the Enotel Magnolia one of Funchal's finest
There's no doubt about it, the Enotel Magnolia is a beautiful looking hotel in a stunning location. Overlooking the Quinta Magnolia Park, you'll see lush greenery in one direction, and the cool sea in another.
With its sleek, modern exterior, the Enotel Magnolia is a wonderful sight. Refurbished in fine style in 2013, there's a real sense of high-aesthetics on display throughout the hotel. From the elegant reception area to the chic bar and the superb fitness centre - with its elegant treatment rooms and heated pool - this is a chic hotel with real character.
Guests' air-conditioned en suite rooms are stylishly designed and appointed, with splendid views over the landscaped gardens. Equipped with a range of facilities to ensure a comfortable stay.. You can also upgrade to a sea view room, some of which features a balcony- just ask for details about how to upgrade when you book.
Rooms are well-stocked with television, telephone, safe, and hairdryer. There's free Wi-Fi too, so you can stay in touch with family and friends and plan your itinerary easily.
Every detail at the Enotel Magnolia is just right. Nestled in a quiet part of Funchal - but still within easy reach of the many attractions - including the famous lido promenade - this certainly is one of Madeira's finest contemporary hotels.

Wonderful Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at Enotel Magnolia. We were in a superior Garden room which was lovely (although I would have preferred a sofa in the room rather than an extra single bed?).
Very clean throughout the hotel and the food in restaurant was excellent - staff very efficient too.
We would walk into Funchal and catch the no.8 bus back - then we would relax in the gorgeous swimming pools.
We went on an East Tour and West Tour booked through Madeira Island Tours which is just round the corner from the hotel.
The Monte Palace Gardens were beautiful - the ride up in the cable cars was wonderful.
Be careful of other agencies offering cheaper trips if you visit one of their time share properties.
There is a Spa shop nearby which was very useful

Excellent Stay at the Enotel Magnolia
Great city hotel on the west side of Funchal. This was my 4th hotel in a 2 week stay. Our tour company set this up and we were very happy with the room, front desk (shout out to Iris and Claudio - both were very helpful), the pool area, downstairs bar (all bartenders very helpful -especially a lady working on the 11th/12th during the day. The dinner buffet was very good and the breakfast buffet was amazing - lots of choices for both. Great location - easy to get around on foot. My only regret was I should have stayed here after my group tour as it was much nicer than my next hotel. Highly recommend for comfortable rooms, great service and convenient location.

Lovely, but........
One week break, good location between old town and Lido resort - 10-15 mins walk either way, on a bus route, local restaurants and shops nearby. Hotel provided very pleasant environment- nice pool, sea view, good extensive buffet breakfast (and dinner if you want it), bar food during day, excellent helpful warm service from staff. However, sadly the beds were SO firm, it was an uncomfortable sleep-deprived week for me! The hotel's solution to my request for a softer mattress was to put a folded duvet under the sheet. This made miniscule difference to a mattress which had little to no spring / give in it. I may as well have slept on a poolside lounger; my hips were actually bruised. On this basis, I would not book here again, which is a shame. Also, the hotel gym is not worth mentioning, if this would form part of your stay. One weight machine for shoulder press, a broken cycling machine, a large pilates ball, some free weights, but not at all inspiring.
Not without drama
We arrived on a Monday. The hotel was very clean, modern and the decor was lovely. The room was also lovely although we didn't expect a french balcony as we had booked a sea view with a balcony which was an upgrade. We queried this with the receptionist who said we needed to speak to Jet2. We offered to pay for an upgrade and was told there was nothing available all week. We contacted Jet2 not really expecting much, but they sent a Rep out and all of a sudden rooms were becoming available. We finely got one with a proper balcony by Thurs. I am not blaming the hotel for this however the receptionists were not particularly accommodating at first until Jet2 stepped in. Not a smile or anything, no empathy, nothing. Also as other reviews have mentioned the beds are indeed awfully hard and my husband can sleep on almost anything. We asked for a topper which wasn't an issue and they sorted it out. But as we had now secured a room with a proper balcony this seemed to be an issue and the receptionist said now the maid has to fit the new room with toppers, and we were basically causing them more work. I was taken back by this attitude. It's not our fault the beds are extremely uncomfortable. Anyway everything did get sorted but not without unnecessary drama. I don't expect that attitude at a 4star hotel. I must say the breakfast was amazing. The room service was great, there was always fresh towels and loads of toilet roll. The bar and live music was excellent. The lads at the bar are fabulous. It's a Lovely hotel just spoilt by bad attitude at reception which leaves a lasting affect.
