Funchal
Funchal – Madeira's capital, is one of the country's most popular destinations. It is conveniently split into three different parts. The Dorisol Estrelicia Hotel, along with the rest of the country's newest hotels, is on the west of the city. The old town – with its wonderful architecture and fine eating places is in the east. In the middle is the heart of the city with its fine array of shops and historical buildings, including the fifteenth century cathedral.
You can look right over the city from the Dorisol Estrelicia Hotel. With breath-taking views out over the bay as well, you can see that you're perfectly positioned to enjoy Funchal to the full.

Disapointing accomodation & staff
Very bad experience. They have different hotels and our hotel was the worst, not at all with the one in the pictures. We stayed at attic, very noise as the windows were not ok isolated, it was too hot, no air conditioning, very small windows, no fridge, no garbage and basic staff, dirty towels. Also, the staff did not inform us on that Madeira roades were closed due to a race on some days and the communication was very bad/ really unpolite. The breakfast was ok, though everyday the same. Big no for this hotel, it was the only thing we did not like in Madeira
Hotel is OK but not the food.
Our stay was OK but nothing special here. Rooms are clean. Don’t have your dinner at the buffet: it’s like a zoo, people go crazy around and food is not good at all. Don’t waste your time and money there. Breakfast is also a buffet, a zoo, food isn’t better and on top of that, coffee is undrinkable!

Great excellent value hotel
Excellent value hotel , great breakfast and dinner …. Great indoor pool and outdoor pool with clean indoor sauna and srea
Basic hotel
Basic hotel, a cleaner stole €20 from a toiletry bag.
Don’t book if you use a wheelchair otherwise great.
The hotel was clean and although dated was ok for one night. Had I not been travelling g with my disabled husband for any able bodied person the place would have been super. Friendly staff, lightly entertainment good food and in our case a great breakfast. The bedroom was clean though the sound of the other guests could be heard due to the doors being opened and closed frequently. The bed was comfortable and the fan was a welcome surprise due to the hot weather. The bathroom would have been super had my husband not be disabled but as he is the showering was difficult as was using the toilet. The door entrance was narrow so he couldn’t get in the bathroom without crawling in. In the public areas there were steps to most public areas so it was difficult to see some of the public spaces. Food was generous, tasty and good value. We booked b&b and felt it was really good value for money. Thank you to all the staff they were friendly and efficient.
