I stayed here as part of a walking holiday with the travel department. This hotel is well located along the estrada monumental, close to the promenade and about 20 minutes walk from Funchal. Accommodation was fine. The rooms are presented as mini suites- it was lovely to have a separate sitting room. I also very much appreciated having a bath... More

We recently stayed at the Hotel Girossol and found some good elements and some that were unacceptable, meaning we will never return. The level of service from all staff, cleanliness overall and the food at the Pool Bar were all very good; as was the pool itself, the gardens and the location of the hotel. Breakfast was adequate with plenty... More

After reading previous reviews I'm pleased to say that the Girassol lived up to my expectations. I requested a quiet room with a nice view and that's what we got. 10th floor with a spectacular sea view and balcony. The suite was extremely spacious and very clean. A lovely bowl of fruit was a nice welcoming touch. The hotel was... More

We returned from a half board, two week stay at this hotel on the 2nd. April 2012. The room was a large bedroom with a separate lounge and bathroom, so plenty of room to move around. The balcony overlooked the pool and garden area, and was very quiet. All the staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and all aspects... More

lovely pool area & gardens. staff very helpful . lots of restaurants & pubs nearby so no need to go into Funchal centre after a day sightseeing. Lovely scenery & great tours. there is a travel agency right next to the hotel & they are excellent. we had a wonderful guide called Roberto.

We stayed here for a week as part of an organised tour with The Travel Department. The Hotel is well situated as it's close enough to walk into Funchal (a long walk on a hot day, about 20 mins) but it is also situated close to the Lido (only a 5 min walk) where there's a nice promenade and close...

This hotel lived up to our exppectations. We was there for 1 week and had a Junior Suit on the first floor. The staff was kind, the cleaning was excellent every day and the food in the restaurant was very good. There was a nice little park and a swimmingpool with 26 degrees in the water and a very good...

We had a wonderful week in the hotel Girassol in mid March 2012 and I cannot recommend it too highly. After reading some of the reviews I was uncertain what to expect but we were impressed from the very start of our holiday. The views from our room and balcony were superb and the room was more than big enough... More
