Great location - improvement to service needed

Really liked the balcony and the location, and the flexibility of the late check-in, those were great. Not so great: - Information provided at check-in by staff, particularly around the opening times of the hotel restaurant and room service, was poor - No menus provided at all in the room for food provided by restaurant or roof top bar - No room service in the evenings - Restaurant does not open at lunch but still has restaurant lunch hours displayed which led to confusion - Reservations for restaurant must be made day before or at the latest in the morning of the day of, no walk-ins, but was not informed of this at all (as this was during the business trip side of my travel, it meant I had to order Uber eats so as to not go hungry because I could not go outside the hotel due to work and there was also no room service available in the evening) - Breakfast food quality was poor, very disappointing - Given new towels that were dirty the night before check out - One of the twin beds was really loud, squeaking quite badly and awakening person sharing room with - Upon check out was told service charge tax had been calculated incorrectly and had to pay an extra €2 or so, that in itself wasn’t a problem, but when coupled with everything else that wasn’t great, this felt like adding insult to injury I felt that for a four star hotel, my experience here was really lacking and I was left frustrated and dissatisfied.

Information about the area

Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

When you get to Funchal you are amazed by its immensity. Houses and more houses rise up from the sea covering the entire natural amphitheatre which is Funchal. It is the major commercial, tourist and cultural centre of the island of Madeira. La Zona Velha, the city’s old town, still maintains a vibrant local life of its own and it is the trendiest place on the island. To stroll through the narrow cobbled streets with some intriguing little museums, shops and cafes and a salty old port area is a real delight. At night the neighbourhood comes alive. The restaurants are packed to the gills and St. Mary Street becomes the meeting point for young people ready to have a good time. To enjoy the island’s wonderful flora, you don’t need to leave Funchal. In the outskirts of the city we find some glorious gardens such as the Jardim Botânico, Quinta da Boa Vista, Palheiro Gardens and Monte Palace Tropical Gardens, reached by cable car from Funchal centre. Some other interesting things to do and visit are: The Mercado dos Lavradores, a very colourful market of fresh products and handicrafts; the 15th-century cathedral; Quinta das Cruzes and the Adegas São Francisco wine cellars. There are lots of reasons to like the bustling port city, that despite being tiny, it has a lot to offer.
