The Editory Garden Carmo Funchal

Stayed here for a week during my recent solo travel to Madeira, and aside from the friendly staff, the clean facilities and the included daily buffet-style breakfast, the convenience of its location was what stood out for me the most: it's somehow both in a quiet neighbourhood and less than 10 minutes of walk away from the seaside and the marina, probably 5 minutes away from many local, non-touristy dining options and shops. For travellers who prefer or are used to extras like on-site massages and spa days with their stay, this might not be the best option as it's still a 3-Star hotel after all. But for solo travellers and couples who simply need a nice, clean, well-situated spot to rest, recharge and perhaps take a dip in the pool before heading out for new adventures? I highly recommend The Editory Garden Carmo Funchal!

A lovely hotel in the city centre. I had a refurbished room which was very comfortable with modern decor and feel. Breakfast was plentiful but could have been varied a bit from day to day. I enjoyed using the pool but the sun umbrellas were not in use as I was told they had previously blown over in the wind. I couldn’t help but notice that other places in Funchal (bars etc) had similar umbrellas and used well designed sand bags to ensure they didn’t tip over. Maybe a something the hotel can look into. Overall, I‘d recommend this hotel, clean, comfortable, friendly and well positioned.

The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The rooms are very nice and clean. The breakfast was good, but would have been nice to switch up the food every once in a while just to have something different sometimes. Other than that we had a great stay here. Would definitely recommend and come back!

Really nice hotel! Only things to improve would be to replace the pool towels and have hand soap in the toilets by the pool.
