Situation is OK, near the Lido. Beware of rooms on east side (towards Funchal) because of very noisy building site. Flashlight is recommended because lighting in alleyways and stairs is poor - broken lightbulbs are not replaced. Of two elevators one is usually not working - long waiting. Staff not very interested and helpful. Breakfast is adequate but not more.

This aparthotel is nicely situated 2 miles west of Funchal- a brisk 35min walk to the centre. There is a courtesy hotel bus, and service buses are plentiful (buy a weekly ticket from the booth on the seafront). Three hotels form a group, with evening entertaintainment in the central bar area that deserved better audiences. Each bedroom has basic cooking... More

This hotel was a exceptional value for money. It was well situated for the Lido and the sea front and all the shops and resturants in the Lido area. Within about 200m there were at least 6 resturants, a bar, tourist shop, wine shop and small supermarket, Within 1/2 mile ther were dozens and the sea front. It is located... More

The hotel is in a good location located on a steep incline approx 5 minutes walk from the main road- Estrada Monumental . The service is excellent as is the accomodation. My studio room was extremely clean and comfortable and represented great value for money. As a guest I was able to use the facilities of Dorisol's other hotels, the... More

Stayed at Buganvilla Apartment Hotel for two weeks in September/October 2008. Rooms badly in need of refurbishment but the hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and generally efficient. Entertainment at night was poor in my opinion. The Gym was in need of some better exercise bikes, etc. though the trainer was helpful. The tennis court looked well maintained.... More

just returned 01/02/08 after2 weeks stay. very helpful staff, room kept clean and tidy. But the hotel is designed in such a way that the open plan stairs and doors too the rooms create a cacophonous noise more noticeable at night time. the courtesy bus and swimming pools gym etc excellent. breakfast looks good but is bland (could be the...

The Buganvilea is situated in the "hotel area" of Funchal and a considerable way from the centre - not walkable as we thought it would be. The 2 km the brochure said was more like 2 miles. It was clean and well serviced and all staff were friendly and polite. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the sea but 2... More
