We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel which has very helpful and friendly staff. We had heard that the food was not up to much so we did B&B only. Just as well, as even the breakfast was terrible. If you like low fibre stuff (white bread and Cornflakes, Coco-pops etc.) then you might love it, just don't... more

We have just returned from a week at this hotel which was booked last minute. This is a good basic hotel and that is what you are paying for. We paid £180 for the week for two (B&B) and got good value. The room was fine - clean, everything worked, even a bit of a view (bonus seeing what we... more

Spent 7 nights here in February. Good points were the price (£15/person/night B&B), the free car parking and the €1/15 minutes internet. Our room was small but clean. Everything worked and the room was cleaned every day. Also good is the location, with some decent restaurants around, and Funchal town around 30 minutes' walk away. But in our view the... more

We have just returned from a week's stay at the dorisol estrelicia hotel and have to say that our experience was far better than we had been led to believe by reading some of the reviews on this site. Granted it is in a poor location, at the top of a difficult slope, and right next door to a building... more

All that myself and my wife could possibly say about... more

We stayed at the Estrelicia as part of a last minute package tour. First impressions were excellent with nice lounges and entrance and very friendly reception staff (who remained excellent throughout the stay). The first room we were given was tacky with no balcony and a very low silled large window looking out at the back of the hotel, 8... more

We stayed in this hotel last year and so you might say we knew where we were going. But, unfortunately, it was a big mistake to stay there again this year as the standard had dropped considerably. I must say first of all that the staff at reception, many of whom we recognised from last year, were simply excellent. No... more
