Great location close to everything in city. Still parking usually available. Very bad internet connection. Ended up paying, but still got no use of the connection. Breakfast OK, if not sold as full buffet as some travel operators (Tjäreborg) did. We paid for morning coffee and for that offering was good. Big enough room, OK beds. No A/C but in... More

Stayed here for a week. Found staff to be very helpful and friendly and ready to offer every assistance. Hotel was in a perfect location right in the centre of Funchal and not far all the restaurants and touristy places to visit. Despite being in the centre of town I found the hotel to be very quiet at night. Dinner... More

We have today returned from two weeks at the Windsor, and we have experienced the worst hotel that we have ever stayed in. There is absolutely no way that the room we had was any better than a two star hotel. The drains were a real problem in our room, and despite endless complaints, not Thing was done. The hotel...

We booked for 2 weeks for some sun in March. Not the hotels fault but we saw as much rain as sun. My first comment would be that we felt the hotel was a little short of 4* The positives were that all the staff were really friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable but not over large.

the Windsor Hotel is Ideally located in the heart of Funchal. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The pool and sun terrace are an added bonus if you want to lounge in the sun. I don't feel it warrants a 4* rating because of the lack amenities in the room. No air conditioning No tea... More

I have been travelling across Europe a lot, and I can tell that Windsor hotel is not a 4* but more a 3*. It's close to the Old Funchal, Funchal Centre, Harbour, Restaurants, Shops, Shopping Centres, Market, Gardens, Churches, Cathedral.... Pool with really cold water (5-10C), Pillows are awful, smell of damp in bathroom, Some bedroom views might be better,... More

The Windsor Hotel puts its self as a 4 Star Hotel which certainly by US and UK standards it is not but it is a very good medium size hotel in the middle of Funchal old town close to all Shops, Bars, Cafes, Marina and Port. The rooms are clean with ensuite , TV and Hairdryers but no kettle and... More
