The Editory Ocean Way Funchal
10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful friendly staff, beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, good fresh selection of food for breakfast, didn’t get to use the pool but the roof patio is fantastic!"
"Very comfortable hotel with amazing ocean views, clean, nice beds, excellent service. Breakfast was great, plenty of food to choose from. Decor is modern and fits very nicely with wilderness of Madeira. Strongly recommend for high quality hotel."
"The hotel is a solid offering for a good priced all inclusive.
Serve your own drinks around the pool during the day. Constant snack bar. Great pizza.
Yes, it’s focused more on the saga holiday demographic but in our 40’s, no kids, we don’t want roudy anyway!
It’s perfectly located to walk into Funchal, have meals out when you want the variety etc.
The negatives:
Unfortunately my pyjamas went missing with the laundry, having been left on top of the sheets. Nothing in the hotel laundry, nothing in the contract laundry. They can’t just disappear!
The pool was freezing - nice for actual swimming but too cold just to chill in.
Dinner - if you go in after about 8pm, the nice salads (prawns / cold meat) had gone and were not replaced. We specifically checked what was on offer one evening and decided to stay in the hotel because of the offering but because we like a late dinner (we’re younger than the typical demographic of the hotel) the nicer stuff had gone. A real shame as we’d have eaten out by that time in the holiday. The menu in the à la carte restaurants could when been more varied - but we didn’t eat in them."
"Great small hotel right in the centre of Funchal. Comfortable room and nice breakfast.
The Guest Relations coordinator, Carolina, is wonderful. She was so helpful, kind and patient. Listened to us and found the right tours and places for us to visit ant to eat. She is a total credit to the hotel. 🙏"
