Hotel Alto Lido

Big bedroom with huge bed. Sea view and a nice terrace where one can eat or read calmly. Everything was very clean and well decorated! Nice pool and outside area and the bar downstairs with live music was also a plus. Very good breakfast! Well located - close to a lot of nice restaurants and coffees. Great staff.

Friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is well located: walking distance from the beach and a busy area with lots of dining options, and a quick bus ride to the city centre. Not too noisy. Great breakfast. Everything was clean and functional. The facilities were as shown on pictures.

Stayed for a week in November. Great hotel very clean and always has entertainment on at night. Breakfast very good, fresh food and always having sections refilled. Pool / sunbathing area very clean, bar is fairly priced with great cocktails. The decor inside is incredible and the rooms are nice and spacious. On another positive note, they cater for different food allergies very well, with separate gluten free stations and food options at the breakfast which is very helpful! They go over and above, for example I left one morning at 4am for a sunrise hike and they packed three lunch bags for me to take for the day when all I asked for was gluten free bread, so the staff care a lot. If I come back to Madeira I would 100% stay here again, it’s just outside Funchal but the 30 minute walk into the main centre is a great walk, plenty of bars / restaurants / cafes along the way to break it up.

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!

Only stayed one night due to a cancelled flight, unfortunately missed the breakfast. Beautiful sea view, nice facilities and helpful staff. The whole experience felt quite luxurious to me. Private entry to sauna and turkish bath was included in my booking via Booking, which was a nice surprise.
