Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at Barceló. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool was a great place to spend a couple hours in the afternoon. The only thing that could have made our stay better would be to have parking closer but the walk wasn’t bad at all. Great breakfast too!

A short but lovely stay
We stayed only for 1 night but really great location to walk around Funchal. Rooms are large for Europe and quite comfortable. Minifridge and welcome chocolates quite nice. The only thing I would note is that there are very few chairs in the rooftop bar/pool area so almost impossible to find a spot. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Would stay here again for sure.

Nice hotel, but don't expect to use the pool area
A lovely hotel, and we chose this for a 3 day stay because of previous experience with Barcelo hotels. However, the rooftop area, including the pool, was over-crowded. In our 3 days there we were never able to use the sun beds. There's a sign saying that reserving the beds was not allowed, but the guests do so anyway and the staff does not intervene. Guests would get there early and use their towels and belongings to hold the sun beds, so that half of them were often unoccupied but not available. The hotel really needs to implement some sort of booking or time slots for use of rooftop area. Next time in Funchal we'll look for another place to stay.

IT IS NOT SAFE - RAMPANT CRIME IN LISBON
Service was impeccable but Lisbon is NOT safe! My daughter and her husband were cornered by 4 thieves with 2 more blocking the top and bottom of the street (with umbrellas hanging) just a few blocks from hotel before 11pm. They wanted money and my daughter alerted the security/bouncers of nearby bars and clubs who were watching but did nothing to stop an assault on tourists. She actually yelled " you see whats happening, will you do something?" They just looked on with disinterest. My son in law, a big and fit guy, threw 10 Euro at them and ran into a bar while the thieves yelled that they will wait for them to exit and follow them back. They finally left with a large group of exiting people and made it safely back, but beware, it is not safe and security/bouncers are in on the crime and will not help you! I WILL NEVER VISIT LISBON AGAIN - GARFITI ON WALLS SAYS : TOURISTS GO HOME - I WOULD OBLIGE THEM!

What kills this hotel is WiFi barely works no doorman or help with luggage , minor but lame they don’t take Amex which is fine but you can reserve the room with Amex ???? Is this an international brand? Also when attempting to charge a drink at the pool on the Terrace I was told I can’t charge it to the room unless the front desk gives permission ? And the took a 200€ hold when I checked in …. Lame point 3 = Fail nice place but these are basic amenities at €350 a night ….
