Only small things. 1- Water for the room . There should be a complimentary bottle provided by the hotel daily . 2-Having to pay a daily rate for the use of the room safe. Most unfair and a bit mean. 3-No iron provided ! I have never come across this in all my years ! I travel professionally for work over the past 30+ years , staying mostly in 4&5 star hotels. Re: # 1+2 above , these are invariably always provided by the hotels, and should be be here at the Hotel Alto Lido with a 4 Star status.

Great location, lovely staff, very good breakfast, very clean ...lovely pool and relaxation areas throughout

Difficult to find the room at the first time in that labyrinth… A but small parking spaces 🤪 Our room has no see view even if we paid for that!! Long waiting for the reception, sometimes the guest queue up for a while…

Good location for browsing around Good parking possibilities, but for extra bucks Good facilities of the hotel Wide variety of the breakfast, but sometimes too crowded

Restaurant is very crowded at early breakfast time. Queues to coffee machines. Coffee is bad, we had to take espresso and add water and milk. We had room with no window, just big empty terrace above the parking door. Put some plants on it, and it will be more comfortable. And there was loud noise from the ventilation that goes from parking (we think) straight to the terrace and it wasn’t comfortable to sit there at the evening

Comfortable beds, clean room. Good and warm indoor pool. Breakfast good, with champagne:) Compliment wine and bread

Unfortunately, breakfast was a disappointment. It was the same every day - very repetitive and of low quality. There is definitely room for improvement here. We didn’t try lunch or dinner at the hotel, so we can’t comment on that. The hotel is quite large and clearly caters mostly to large touroperator groups. Individual travelers are a minority here, which likely influences the overall experience and the level of personalized service.

Our stay at Hotel Alto Lido in Funchal was overall very pleasant. We spent 10 nights there during the Flower Festival and truly enjoyed our time. The room was spacious and comfortable, equipped with a small kitchenette and a small fridge, which was very convenient. The housekeeping was excellent - the room was cleaned daily to a high standard, and the cleaning staff were always friendly and polite. One of the highlights of the hotel was the daily entertainment program, mostly featuring live music performances. It created a lively and enjoyable atmosphere in the evenings and it was clear that the hotel put effort into making sure guests were entertained. Each day, small amenities were delivered to the room - one day fruit, another day a bottle of water and on another occasion, some cookies. These thoughtful touches were appreciated, although we would have preferred to receive a bottle of water every day instead of rotating amenities. We didn’t use the spa facilities, so we’re unable to provide feedback on that area. Despite some minor shortcomings, especially with breakfast, we had a very enjoyable stay and appreciated the cleanliness and entertainment.

Ordered a room with a sea side view and was on floor 5 but didn’t really see the sea because the sun deck on the same floor level covered the view

The mattress was a little uncomfortable. Found it difficult to get to sleep.

Very clean and modern hotel with welcoming staff. We loved our room as it had a great sea view. Would come back.

The proximity to the city and the hotel itself was very nice. The hotel staff is super nice. Every day that would leave us some snacks in the room and the cleaning was impeccable. Breakfast also amazing.

It is typical travel agent hotel full of charter tourists so the breakfast area is missing some quiet morning ambiance. It is more like a beehive.

My stay was comfortable and the room was spacious and sparkling clean. Breakfast has so much variety to choose from.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was cozy and well-appointed, and I was pleasantly surprised by the welcome gift – a bottle of wine, water, and some sweets. The view from the window was absolutely stunning and made the stay even more special. Breakfast was a highlight too, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. Highly recommended!

For us too crowded and impersonal.Troubles with parking.

Standard hotel, very nice breakfast.

The dinner buffet lacks variety, for the price you pay it felt short. And long waits when the dish you want has to be replaced or never replaced.

Love the cleanness and beautiful hotel decor and ambiance. Also very spacious that doesn’t feel crowded. Staff very professional and friendly. Comfortable and luxurious at the same time The Tale restaurant was awesome! Food at pool/bar very good.

You had to pay to use the steam and sauna room which was a bit annoying.

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was nice. The rooms are spacious and clean. It was great for a relaxing disconnect from the day to day.

The cleaning services never washed any of the cups or kettlery in the room for 4 nights… the parking in the area around the hotel (public, outside the hotel) can be an issue due to traffic

Cozy and comfortable hotel , in the suburbs of Funchal

The inside pool was nice, pretty small (23m maybe). Only downside was the toilets next to the pool smelt strongly of urine so every time you swam to that end of the pool you could smell wee. Outside pool looked nice but it was raining so we couldn't use it. They came to give us complimentary water, wine and cakes but we were asleep. They came into the room anyway despite me saying no, maybe they didn't understand, but that was weird for me. They told me to hang the do not disturb on the door, fair enough, but I did also say no clearly. They could leave it outside the door.

We had a good one night stay here. They let us check in two hours early as the room was ready. Aside from that, the hotel was very clean, quiet, the beds are very comfy. A lovely view of the sea (we had a side sea room). Nice balcony, would have liked two lounging chairs rather than one. Bathroom fine, some toiletries. Dressing gown and slippers, plus towels for the pool. Easy walking distance into Funchal town, maybe 40 minutes but pretty much all flat. There was a parking garage you need to pay for (no idea if you need to pre book it). We parked in the street behind for free. Some pay and display in front of the hotel too. Overall, would stay here again, thought it was very good value and was quiet!
