Suite Hotel Jardins Da Ajuda

Corredores do hotel com aparência muito antiga, uartos equipados com mobilia muito antiga, as refeições servidas (excepto pequeno almoço) só são de qualidade em datas servidas, o hotel não tem estacionamento gratuito. Pequeno almoço é de qualidade, a piscina interior tem um ambiente agradável, Staff simpático e atencioso pronto a ajudar.

DONT LET MISERABLE NEGATIVE PEOPLE PUT YOU OFF.... THE AREA: Right, so yes, there is building works happening next door, but so what, it gives people work and will be a beautiful hotel when finished, it really isn't that bad, people just like things to whinge about THE HOTEL: Yes it is a little dated, but again so what? If you want the mod cons of your own home, don't go away, the staff are polite (not at all grumpy) the rooms are spotless and comfy and all the staff work tirelessly. However please remember people mirror others behaviours, so going by some people on here, I'm not surprised they seemed miserable THE FOOD - the food is fine, there's a huge collection of things at breakfast to have, I made bacon & egg sandwiches, but I guess that's too much effort for some people. I really must be a happy positive person, and by God there must a lot of miserable negative people about who have such boring lives all they want to is pick fault and moan. DONT GO ON HOLIDAY IF DIFFERENT FOOD AND CULTURES ARE GOING TO ANNOY YOU! Thankyou to the hotel I've enjoyed my stay ☺️

We have just returned after a stay of nine nights Beware of excessive noise from building works going on next door Starts at 8.am every morning until early evening, the hotel should state this when making a booking. Pools ok (no one in them as who wants to listen to demolition work while soaking up the weather) No staff in pool bar had to walk to main hotel to get drinks. Was told no drinks or snacks at pool after 6 as it wasn't summer yet? Happy hour between 6.30 and 7.30 had to ask if discount applied as they forgot. Breakfast is the same everyday no effort from staff just unhappy faces watching for everone to finish as they wanted to prepair for lunch. Rooms were spacious we had a garden view but I agree with other comments about them being dated and tired. Beds were hard with plastic sheets underneath? Location is fine just a short stroll to a shopping centre and good public transport links. Such a shame too many bad points as Location was fine.

Dreadful experience. The hotel has a nice swimming pool in the courtyard, completely ovetshadowed by the horrendous sounds of drilling and demolition every day from 09:30 until 19:00, weekends ecxluding. If only had the frontdesk the elementary decency of apologizing for the inconvenience, but guess what, they did not seem to care. The level of noice reaches 80-95 decibels, which is as if you were standing 5 meters from a highway full of trucks. NEVER AGAIN!!

The hotel is conveniently located close to highways and Funchal attractions. Rooms are nice size and well furnished. Rooms facing the garden side are quiet while those facing the street can get lots of traffic noise at night. There is shopping mall across the street with a nice grocery store and fast food restaurants. You can park at the mall for free on weekends. The hotel also has arrangement with a garage next door for 3 euro parking for 24 hours. There are many other nice restaurants in the neighborhood. Rooms don’t have heaters but the hotel can provide a portable one.

After a 4 hour flight we were taken to this hotel which is about a 45 min stroll on the promenade to Funchal. There was a courtesy bus but not needed. Opposite the hotel is a mall with supermarket, clothes stores and eateries. The newsagent sells Giro cards for the buses. For €5 daily you can use the public transport for as many trips as you like. Simple load the card. You pay extra for the suburban ticket that takes you farther. In the opposite direction, again a 45-1 hour walk, you arrive at the fishing village. We caught a taxi from there up to the skywalk. We walked back down the many stepped corridors through the farms back to the centre. Our knees were wobbly by this time as the descent had taken about an hour. Enjoyed coffee and Bolas on the entire holiday. A ride up the mountain on cable car is well worth it with spectacular views of Funchal. Pick a clear day. The small cafe just near the toboggans provided pan pipe music and delicious cappuccinos as we enjoyed the vista and watched the men in pinstripe suits guiding the toboggans down the steep slopes. We returned by cable car. If its not busy, you can just wait for an empty car and hop in with just your crew. We enjoyed having it to ourselves. A visit to the Ronaldo museum was OK, a bit pricey for the entrance. They should have shown his best goals on a reel but nothing like that. Just saw trophies and pics. The botanical hardens were not in full bloom due to time of year but were pleasant to walk around. There is a museum there too with stuffed animals. A walk through the town is very pleasant. Live bands can be very entertaining on a Saturday afternoon. Hotel room was spacious replete with a mini kitchen,fridge, crockery and cookware. We had the garden view where it was quieter though I couldn't compare. Breakfast had great variety. Many lines. No complaints. The swimming pool was heated and there was a sauna too. Huge towels are provided. There is also an outdoor pool.

Stayed end of February. The hotel is on a steep hill but near bus stops for airport, Funchal and the tourist buses stop on the road outside. Great location can walk into Funchal (40 mins) or take 1, 2 or no.4 bus for €2 and facilities. Breakfast was good plenty of fresh food and a good selection of hot and cold food. I was pleased with my room, had a sofa, balcony, kitchenette and was clean. Mattresses very hard, generally the furnishings were a bit worn and the hotel has very dated decor, needs updating. Staff are polite and helpful. Would stay again but not 4*
