Buganvilia Studio Hotel

VERY Clean, great view, well equipt, friendly staff,

Poor lift system, old fashion/ out of date decor, needs modernising, stairways need renovating,

Perfect place for those travelers who want both, explore the island and relax in one of the swimming pools at the hotel. Very nice apartment with a little kitchen and breathtaking view, located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, not far away from the downtown of Funchal, close to few supermarkets and all you need to spend your dreaming holidays. Breakfast was OK as well. The staff was very helpful and answered all questions I had. Highly recommended.

2 swimming pools plus one in the next hotel possibility to have early breakfast if you go on an excursion and cannot attend normal breakfast serving hours the hotel has their own parking which is 7euros a day and very convenient but quickly full so I would recommend booking it in advance. Worse case scenario the supermarket near Lido is 4euros for the entire night. Nice views from the balcony

one of the lifts was broken so there were queues of more than 10min to catch turn there were mosquitos in the room when we arrived. A pity the indoors swimming pool was closing too early (8pm) The gym is small no more than 4ppl can fit and there was no AC

The view from our apartment window was amazing. Lovely breakfast and great staff very friendly and helpful. Location is fabulous. Right near lots of restaurants and bars

Funchal is very hilly and not suitable for a person with poor mobility

The room was clean and views amazing. Staff changed our wet towels to new ones even when we forgot to lay those on floor as a request for change. It was a pleasant surprise when arriving back at evening. Breakfast had multiple choices and despite many people eating at same time there was always free tables. Location was very convenient as well.

Breakfast was very crowded and they seemed to be short on staff as many things were over at buffet all the time and many tables uncleaned. However remaining staff did their best and were efficient and polite. Hotel could also have more parking space. In 2 out of our 3 nights of stay we had to park on street as all parking space was occupied.

Balcony with view of sea, kitchen area with fridge and microwave. Bath with shower, Outdoor pool Close to bus routes, shops and restaurants Pleasant communal area Table and chairs both in room and on balcony.

kitchen had no corkscrew, tea towels, or oven glove for taking hot food from microwave. Other rooms may be different. Like many hotels, facilities were designed for taller person than me (I am 5ft 6"). Hard to reach coat hangers, shower head, hair dryer,, microwave and top cupboards.

Obviously it is not a 5 star hotel. But there is everything we needed. The staff was very helpful. Breakfast was good.

They advertise they have a parking. But only few places are available and always occupied. Usually we needed to search parking place on our own outside hotel.

We ended up staying at the Florasol hotel: Swimming pool, the apartment was spacious, the localisation was also great, with loads of restaurants and a supermarket near by. Also close to the city center (15min bus). Personel really helpful.

We ended up staying at the Florasol hotel as the Bunganvilla was overbooked. This was ok for us as the room/localisation was pretty much the same. There is not really a laundry service, as it is more recommended to use a laundry nearby.

Great spot for trips, many agency nearby. Bust stop to airport near hotel 5€ day/night, to Funchal few buses too. Helpful friendly staff. Some animations/ evening activities. Free WiFi. Close to Ocean. 2 polls outdoor 1 indoor. Nice view from balcony and birds singing since the morning.

Rather old hotel with scary old elevators. I recommend to have own hairdryer. Breakfast coffee too sweet but many places around for good one.

Amazing location, I've asked for a higher floor and was given 11th floor with balcony with stuning views over the ocean and mountains. Room was cleaned every day. Very comfy beds. Helpful staff. Tasty lots of choices breakfast. 2 outside swimming pools, inside one, sauna and jacuzzi incl in the price. We had great stay. Thank you!

It was extremely hot so the fan was helpful but air con would be better.
