The Pestana Carlton is in a great location for strolling down to the centre of Funchal or towards the Lido area in the other direction. There are restaurants in the hotel and also a good selection of bars and restaurants within a couple of hundred meters. The hotel is clean and the rooms light and airy with either ocean or town views, both of which are excellent (no dingy air wells here!), probably quieter on the ocean side. The breakfast is excellent, with a wide choice from omelettes made to order to fresh fruit and delicious local pastries. Altogether a very pleasant atmosphere with excellent facilities and friendly and helpful staff.

Great location, in walking distance from Funchal town or the promenade towards Camera de Lobos. Beautiful views from the restaurants and terraces. Excellent breakfast and evening buffets as well as a choice of à la carte in the hotel restaurants. Salt water swimming pool and ocean access. Clean, light and comfortable rooms and super friendly staff. Our room overlooked the town which was probably a bit noisier than one with an ocean view but still entertaining during the day and magical at night with a galaxy of lights from the town and the hills. After many visits to the island, we were very impressed with the Pestana Carlton Madeira and will definitely stay there again.

Exceeded expectations!

Thought this hotel would be functional and business like but it was welcoming with friendly staff. The rooms were a very good size and well maintained and there were plenty of sunbeds in lots of different areas, one with sea access.

Sehr sehr schönes Hotel in Funchal! Alles sehr schön und sauber, sehr freundliches Personal! An der Strasse deshalb nicht immer so ruhig, aber superschöne Aussicht und überhaupt keine spiessige 5 Stern Stimmung. Überaus tolles und leckeres Frühstücksbuffet, noch nie so etwas gesehen! Schöne Terrasse für das Frühstück, traumhaft! Jederzeit gerne wieder!
