Royal Savoy

My wife and I have visited the Savoy Palace Hotel more or less since it opened , we find the location excellent as I have a walking problem I can manage the area. Staff are all and I mean all are very polite helpful and cannot do enough for you , the cleaning staff and room staff right down to the reception and door staff are all delightful smiling people. Our studio was on floor 10 this time large clean and well looked after (could do with some more drawers and hooks to hang bathrobe’s on. Room had fridge cooker microwave dishwasher and plenty of pans and plates etc. we had a coffee machine , but no pods . The beds were very large and you had a choice of pillows. Full stars could not fault and already trying to book again for two weeks in Ictober this year

Excellent location, very convenient for Funchal. Access to the ocean (by a ladder) and large heated outdoor swimming pool (+27C) allowed to feel a bit of summer during Christmas time.

Our stay was a delight. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and well-appointed. The hotel itself is close enough to downtown to walk daily, but far enough to avoid the noises of the city. All around a great experience. I highly recommend staying here.

It’s our second time in Funchal and currently staying (fourth of seven days) at the Royal Savoy. We are very impressed with the hotel - the staff, room, amenities and food are absolutely fantastic! The location is just perfect (walking distance to Marina and promenade/Marina) which we really love. The hotel is beachfront and the spa area is excellent. We feel so safe and the hotel is very clean. Thanks to the amazing staff of Royal Savoy for making our stay a memorable and special one. We will definitely stay here on our next visit.

Overall a very pleasant hotel. Location great and parking inexpensive. A warm welcome and room upgrade at check-in (nice!) and Fernando at the door brightened up my son's day every time we passed by. Room cleaning excellent and housekeeping staff went over and above with nice little touches. As far as I could tell all rooms have a great view and a little balcony (this was ours on second floor - see pic). Excellent pools although changing rooms not very accessible/well-signposted (e.g none in the indoor pool area other than a toilet, but we did find some on our last day at the furthest away outdoor pool). Only negative for me was the food quality was just okay and and I found the waiting staff in the piano bar not to be very attentive, and outside at the pool bar they were a bit surly. Everyone else was great! We were the youngest guests by some margin, most others seemed to be the coach trip crowd, if that's something you care about (we didn't).
