The Views Monumental

Great hotel, super clean, lovely sea view from balcony (we were on the 4th floor), helpful staff, free car park.

Just returned from a week at the Monumental and had a nice time. Great location at the Lido with the bus service into Funchal old town regular and inexpensive (€1.95 one way ). For those more energetic, Funchal old town is about a thirty minute casual walk from the hotel. We had requested a high floor room but were given one on the next to ground floor even though the people who checked in after us were given a high floor. To be fair they moved us to a high floor the next day and the views to the sea were fantastic. Breakfast was decent and plentiful but it was strange that no one asked for your room number when going to the dining room, meaning that anyone could walk in off the street and get a free breakfast. I understand that there will be a major refurbishment in January 2025 which will freshen the place up. Quite a few lifeless areas in the hotel and again strange that the lounge bar was not open for business as advertised. Plenty of sun beds everywhere and the upstairs sunbathing area was particularly good with fantastic views looking over the sea. All in all, a lovely stay and we would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Funchal.

Great base for everywhere in Funchal. Friendly staff , the pool attendant was very busy cleaning pool and general maintenance. They take recycling very seriously which is good to see . Spa and jacuzzi are the best I’ve been in . Great choice for breakfast and superb omelette, cooked how you like it . Chambermaid was so friendly and reception staff very helpful. Very nice stay .

Great Hotel in Madeira island. A bit far from the city center of Funchal, still walkable.

Our room was in top floor(11th) and from balcony we had great views towards pool area and sea. Comfy bed with pillow menu, working AC, OK Wi-Fi, good shower and huge breakfast buffet, so what else you could want? Location for us was OK, because city's best beach was near, lots of shops, stores and restaurants around. and for example Hop-on Hop-off buses leave 50 metres away from main entrance. Old Town is not so close, but if you are in decent shape, it's walkable...although because of climb, not so easy to walk back. But taxis were cheaper than in many other European tourist cities and we used Bolt app drivers, which were even cheaper.

Great area with lots of restaurants around and walking distance to the old town

Ottima struttura ben organizzata, colazione a buffet eccellente, posizione strategica

No complaints, clean, good value. Friend reception.

Great hotel, all staff are lovely. The buffet breakfast has a great selection whatever your taste. Lots of sunbeds available but not always that comfortable, but lots of areas are nice and quiet to enable you to get engrossed in your chosen books.

This hotel is amazing ! Our apartment (216) was perfect loads of room, spotlessly clean we had free water , clean towels ect everyday, the cleaning maid Maria Goncalves was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, she was absolutely lovely as were all the staff!! The pool bar had a good selection of food and getting a sunbed was never a problem! We were in a prime location surrounded by lovely restaurants,(Chinese, Indian,traditional Portuguese)I highly recommend this hotel!! The only negative comment I would say is the breakfast was lovely but not very hot and a few days there was no cups or glasses to have a drink, we did ask for them but waited a long time for them to come out! But this didn’t put us off we definitely would stay here again!
