Great breakfast, clean and comfortable rooms. I was there for 3 weeks, and even if the breakfast buffet was mostly the same stuff, there were also variations. And there were so many choices to start with, and the food so fresh and tasty, I (and my companions) always absolutely loved the breakfast. The location is wonderful, lots of wonderful restaurants next door or within short walking distance. The bus stop is next door, so going downtown is super easy, and the old town is wonderful. Hop on of bus next door too, and it was fun. I love the hotel and I love Madeira. If I ever manage to go to Madeira again, I'll go to again to hotel Allegro. It's also great to be on this adult only, no screaming kids, and no screaming parties either. They use allergy free washing detergent for bedsheets, which is so great, as one of us has allergy to most washing powders. It just shows how attentive they are to details.

The swimming pool was very cold, but it was also November. So, I didn't use it at all, but I was sunbathing every day by the swimming pool, there was good shelter there, and absolutely lovely. The beach is cliffs, but that was my ignorance, Madeira is not about sand beaches.

The hotel as a whole was excellent, providing some fantastic facilities that were all very well kept and presented. The room itself was a good size, was clean upon arrival and with the cleaner coming in every day of the stay, meant the room stayed clean and new towels were always on hand. The spa area was great, made by booking (no extra cost) meant that it was a private experience, and the gym, whilst not massive in size, had enough equipment to have a good experience. We only had breakfast at the hotel, but this too was very good, there was a large array of different foods on offer; hot, cold, pastries, fruit, cereal, yoghurts, and cooked on request for things like pancakes, eggs etc. The service, not just for breakfast but throughout the whole stay, was amazing, with all the staff being friendly and attentive. The roof bar is also a fantastic addition, something that was seemingly very unique in the area, especially at this level (11th floor), and had a great choice of drinks available. The location was on the west side of Funchal, many shops, bars and restaurants surrounded the area. It is about a 30 minute (at a fair pace) walk to the main main area of Funchal, but there is plenty to do in the immediate vicinity.

There is not many negatives to say about the hotel, a personal one for us is for breakfast to stay on till slightly later (currently finishes at 10am), but that is only as we enjoy a lay-in whilst on holiday! Other than this, we were extremely happy during our 10 day stay, and would 100% return to this hotel.

We had a wonderful holiday at the Allegro Hotel. The staff is dedicated, helped us in every way. Near the hotel there is a public transport stop, several tourist offices that offer various tours of the island with relevant explanations from a tour guide. There are a variety of reasonably priced lunch or dinner options down the street south of our hotel, as well as a large supermarket down the promenade. The hotel has a rooftop bar with great views and live music. We mainly did excursions around the island of Madeira and neighboring Porto Santo for the tranquility and exotic flora and fauna. We went on boat and catamaran rides. We had almost no time left to lie on the beach. Congratulations to the staff of the Allegro Hotel.

We were on the same island about 20 years ago. Since then, rental cars have increased the traffic density around Funchal and throughout the island several times. Parking (in general and everywhere) is already problematic. But this is not a problem of the hotel, which offered us excellent conditions. I recommend that newly arrived tourists call the tourist offices for excursions instead of rental cars.

All facilities were excellent, room cleaned and tidied everyday, plenty of stuff in the room with amazing view. Really helpful staff at front desk, really welcoming. Facilities and gym all up to scratch, couldn’t ask for anymore. Amazing value for money.

Nothing I could name.

Excellent breakfast with wide selection, spacious room. Location is far from city center but close to the sea and offers nice walks. Electric cars can be charged, however setting that up requires cooperation from the staff. Parking place is narrow but once you get your spot at check-in, that will be reserved through your stay (but not the same spot). Excellent roof-top bar with spectacular view to the sea and to the mountains, offering great cocktails.

We had trouble setting up the car charging and the person at the reception was not helpful at all. We wanted to have a room with a sea view (and booked a room with that), but the hotel is built in a way that the building itself blocks the majority of the view which was very annoying. At one occasion we had to wait for a table at breakfast, it can be made better by organizing the guests or telling them which time period(s) are less busy.

First of all, the hotel is great! The staff are very friendly and does everything in their might to help us. The view from our room was amazing! We had a view over the ocean and the town of Funchal, so we could relax on the balcony with a great view. We had breakfast and dinner included with our room and the food is delicious! The options vary every day, which is really nice! I could keep going with what is nice about this hotel. The staff is very engaging and did a lot of things to make our stay extra special. THANK YOU! This has been the best hotel experience I've ever had!

Nothing, nothing at all.

great location. Nearby there is a bus stop to the city center and the airport. There is a small supermarket and a coffee bar 50 meters away. Within a radius of 500 meters there are a huge number of cafes and restaurants with good food. Despite the fact that the hotel is not located on the first line, the view from the window of the ocean is incredibly beautiful. The room has everything you need. Even a kettle with a daily replenished assortment of tea and coffee. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of TV channels. In addition to a large amount of news and music, there was even a Mezzo channel with classical music, for which special thanks. Delicious breakfast with prosecco, fresh fruit, smoothies, quality coffee. Upon request, scrambled eggs or an omelet are fried for you personally. Cleaning is daily and high quality. The reception staff is very friendly and helpful. Any request: to book a restaurant or find out information about an event in the city was fulfilled strictly. There was enough space for everyone in the pool. The area is small but compact.

Despite the fact that the hotel is four stars, there is no assistance for guests with their belongings. I was also a little surprised by the open storage area in the room, but then I got used to it😊

We liked the brightness of the room, comfy bed, and the biggest surprise was that we had a clothes steamer in the room. The breakfast was rich and diverse, and it was not the same everyday anymore. We liked the pool area, the water in the pool is heated. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, also the bus station is right next to the hotel. There is parking nearby if the one from the hotel (for which you pay extra) is full, but in august, it was difficult to find parking spots in those places except the morning and evening.

We did not like that there was a bedside table only on one side of the bed. Many reviews mention the lack of storage as negative, but it was not a problem for us, we had where to hang stuff, and also there are drawers. You have to pay extra for the hotel parking. Other reviews mention the construction sites nearby, and I want to say, yes they are active, but during our stay, there rarely was noise coming from them, and it was not so loud.

The location of the hotel is great, very central in São Martinho and close to Funchal. Great view even from the third floor of the ocean, and from the roof top bar the view is incredible to watch the sunset from. The balcony to the seafront was great, as was the super comfortable bed. The inclusive buffet breakfast was terrific, serving freshly made pancakes and fried eggs, as well as local pastries. The gym was well equipped.

The room is quite basic and cheaply decorated for a four stared hotel but was spacious. Some of the fitting in the room, notably the bathroom door handle and faucet were wobbly. The ‘coffee’ station in the room, I found also below par, serving instant coffee and a packet of sugar that appeared to have been there for a long time. Lastly, unfortunately the sauna wasn’t working during my stay and I wasn’t informed about it when I checked in.

Great location, staff were supremely helpful, comfortable hotel with a very good range of food & drink for breakfast, plenty of space in the dining area (allowing for a fairly relaxed experience each morning), excellent views from the 11th floor bar/terrace.

Not a criticism, but something to be aware of... The 'Ocean View suites' in the Nirth tower DO have an ocean view, but the best view, uninterrupted by other balconies and the building itself, are to be had from the smallest rooms that face the ocean directly. It seems that this is a function of how the original hotel was built before Barceló took it over. Bizarre that the best view (and balcony size/shape) is from the smallest rooms, but if you're looking for a view over extra comfort inside (the rooms are well appointed anyway), best to be aware of this.
