Madeira Regency Club

I stayed at NEXT Hotel in Funchal and honestly, this was probably the best hotel experience we've had during a vacation. First of all, the location is perfect. It's super close to the city center, within walking distance to places like the port area, CR7 museum, restaurants, car rental spots and more. If you're using Bolt, it's just around 20 minutes from the airport, so getting there was really easy and convenient. Plus, being right next to the sea, the general vibe and views from the hotel are just spectacular. We booked the Ocean View Room because we fell in love with the pictures online, and let me tell you, the room was exactly as described. Spacious, clean, comfy, and that balcony view... wow. I could honestly sit there for hours just staring at the ocean. It was peaceful, relaxing, and gave me such a calm state of mind. The room had everything we needed – large comfy beds, a sofa, table, chair, TV with a good selection of English channels, AC (though in April we barely needed it because the weather was perfect), a mini bar, kettle, and a safe. The convenience of managing everything through the app was also a really nice touch. Whether it was controlling the room settings or checking hotel info, it made things super easy and modern. The only small thing I’d mention is that the tea and coffee supplies weren’t stocked in the room. You have to buy them at reception, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially if you arrive late and just want a cup of tea. But honestly, it’s such a minor thing that it didn’t bother us much. The bathroom was simple – just a shower, sink, and toilet, nothing fancy, but it did the job. We weren’t too keen on the shower products provided, so we bought our own, but again, not a big deal. Housekeeping came every day, kept the room spotless, and changed towels daily which was great. Now, the real highlight besides the view was the breakfast. Oh my god, this was hands down the best breakfast we've had in any hotel so far. Huge selection, delicious food, and it changed daily which kept things interesting. I honestly looked forward to breakfast every morning. The hotel has great facilities too – two pools, including a rooftop pool which is awesome. The lower pool wasn’t as inviting because of its pale color, but that’s just a visual thing. We didn’t use the gym or spa since we were out hiking most of the time, but coming back to that cozy room with the ocean view after a long day was the perfect way to end each day. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and everything about our stay went smoothly. What made it even better was the price – compared to other hotels in the area, NEXT Hotel offered so much for a really good cost. It felt like we got way more value than what we paid for. All in all, this was one of the best experiences we've had in a long time. I 100% recommend this hotel if you're visiting Funchal. Between the location, the views, the amazing breakfast, the convenience of the app, and the overall

Excellently appointed hotel in a really good location. Rooms were spacious and spotless, cleaned every day. The view we had was beautiful over the sea. Fantastic breakfast with all you could wish for. Friendly staff. Located near some fantastic bars and restaurants. Has a young vibe about it which we loved.

This is a stylist hotel and located in a great spot. The room was clean with awesome views. Breakfast was okay, at times the items were not hot enough or cold enough but overall fine. The female staff were not the friendliest in my opinion but the male staff were genuine and happy to help. Not that if you have an early start get a breakfast to go booked as this place opens at 7am until 10:30am and their policy is that no food can leave the restaurant during breakfast. The room service is limited with variety on food. TV channels are good but no smart TV and considering this hotel believe in new tech and advertising this they don’t have smart tv’s in their rooms which was disappointing. Internet 🛜 speed was good and steady. Overall for a 4 star hotel it is fine but in my eyes over priced but this my opinion.
