My husband and I had an excellent stay at the editory. The hotel was very clean, the facilities were great and the staff were all lovely. The bed was very comfortable and a great shower also. The location was perfect! There were lots of very good restaurants nearby and a shopping mall 2mins walk from the hotel. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

Me and my wife had an extremely pleasant stay with the Editory Ocean Way. The rooms were modern and clean. The staff were accommodating, friendly willing to help at all times. The facilities are easily accessible and are always kept clean i.e. the sauna, steam room, swimming pools etc. Breakfast was great with many different varieties. The location is great only 5 mins into central Funchal. Would 100% recommend.

We stayed a week and the staff was incredibly accommodating. At the restaurant they were able to work with our dietary restrictions, for morning hikes when we would miss hikes they arranged a takeaway bag for us to take in the morning. Very clean space and great views.

What a fantastic hotel. The rooms appear to all be pool facing and have lovely big balconies. They are clean and modern with comfortable beds.

Staff were cheerful, and helpful.

The breakfast offering was very good.

The rooftop terrace is stunning and the main pool area is very very relaxing. The addition of the heated indoor pool and Spa area was a particularly nice touch.

In terms of location there is a conveniently located shopping complex just a 2-3 min walk away. You are not in the hustle and bustle of main Funchal - that’s approx a 30 min walk away.

Loved it!

We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything about it exceeded our expectations. The property itself is modern, stylish, and very clean, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful ocean view from our balcony. It was so relaxing to sit outside and take in the scenery—definitely a memorable part of our trip.
The location is another big plus. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the water, making it easy to enjoy walks along the shoreline, and it’s also near a variety of shops, and a mall, which was perfect for browsing and picking up anything we needed.
We were also very happy with the buffet breakfast. There was a great variety of choices, and everything was fresh and delicious—such a great way to start each day.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Pros: modern hotel which opened relatively recently so everything looks new;
lovely spa/ gym and sauna area. We went twice and were the only people there - maybe because it was still low season;
great balcony space;
big walk in shower;
overall, a nice boutique feel to the hotel.

But the reason why I’ve given it only three stars is because the attitude of most of the staff we encountered was so awful!

Cons: poor cleaning service. We only stayed three nights but twice we had to ask for someone to clean our room - this was early afternoon after we had our breakfast and went out!
The water in the gym had run out. Several times we asked for the container to be refilled, even going to reception, and gave up after an hour. It was finally done after we left. No towels or disinfectant spray in the gym either.

Anytime we asked for something to be done (that should have been done btw), we were met with stony faces and an irritated expression. NOT what you expect or indeed, pay for, at a “five-star” hotel.

Location-wise - it’s about a 45 minute walk to the heart of Funchal old town and a 15 min taxi ride. There’s a great shopping mall (Forum) three mins walk away with a big supermarket and brands like Zara, H&M etc

Overall, my day was good however a number of things let this down.
Unable to make four use of the rooftop pool as in a hot day there we’re not umbrellas
No Jacuzzi by the indoor swimming pool.
The tea and coffee selection in the room was not replenished in the morning. It turned down service does not work and should be reconsidered..
Staff training is a requirement for the rooftop and the reception bar
Otherwise, staff were friendly, the hotel was clean overall a good stay.
This hotel is not suitable for someone using walking sticks, et cetera. It is located atthe top of the hill and so if you’re not travelling by Car, it’s walking up and down the hill. Enjoy.

Beautifully decorated hotel with fantastic amenities - in addition to indoor pool and spa, there is an outdoor and a rooftop pool. The staff were fantastically helpful.

Editory is a great hotel. Located outside of Funchal, it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops. The location has a resort-like setting, and is very quite. We had a room with a balcony, which was nice. Our room was very clean and well appointed. The gym is small, but you can get a decent workout (cardio + free weights). Breakfast was good and had enough selection for most people.

Lovely brand new hotel with nice room decor. Good sound proofing and outside balcony. The hotel is not central Funchal. It's about a 40 minute walk into the centre. However, we like walking so for us it was a great. The walk into Funchal is lovely. In addition, there is a shopping centre and many restaurants close by. The breakfast was reasonable but not outstanding. Very much a self service concept including coffee making machines. The only real negative was that although the balcony is spacious the rooms themselves are on the small side. When the weather is good you can be outside on the balcony but if the weather is bad there is not any coffee table or seating for two people to sit other than the bed.

Newly renovated Or it seemed, A few pools and great free spa (not massges just amenities) Hotel convenience was excellent. Walk most places and local bus’s were plentiful as were tour bus’s at bottom of hill. Staff was fantastic and There is a mall just around the corner with a Pingo grocery store and clothing shops/fast food.. Last and certainly not least staff was excellent and attentive. Francisco at the front desk was a stand out, he went above and beyond and made our stay that much better.

this hotel was such a treat and I had a very comfortable stay with gorgeous amenities and views from the rooftop. You were greeted with Portuguese treats and Madeira wine in your room, slippers, and robes, which are always appreciated, and the breakfast had everything you needed (was obsessed with the glasses on the tables, so pretty!). All of the staff were super helpful, very friendly and attentive. I’m not even going to knock a star because who would do that for this reason, but I do wish they were adult hours or late night maybe from 8 to 10 adult hours for the indoor pool area. Their was a lovely spa and sauna, but there were a lot of children in the pool. The parking is also a little hard to get out of if you have a bigger car, but otherwise extremely convenient and just to be aware if you have a larger vehicle. I will be recommending this hotel as a wonderful stay and thank you so much for all your service to everyone on the staff!

It was a good stay and the hotel was nice. The food was good. Only issue we had was the number for the reception was no where to be found in the room so you’re not able to call down if you need anything. They clean the room well but forget to restock on toilet paper. Sadly because it’s just opened the spa doesn’t have a masseuse but the spa was great and loved the sauna.

We stayed at this hotel for just one night, and honestly, we were quite surprised that it is rated as a 5-star property. In our opinion, it feels more like a 3-star hotel rather than 5.

The room was very small, which we did not expect from a hotel of this category. We had read many positive comments about the breakfast, but in reality it was quite underwhelming. Aside from fresh fruit and kiwi, there was nothing particularly memorable or impressive.

Another detail that felt disappointing was the so-called “welcome drink.” At reception, you are given two cards to redeem for a drink, but in reality this turned out to be just a glass of juice. For a 5-star hotel, one would expect something more in line with the category — even a small glass of sparkling wine would feel more appropriate. This felt more symbolic than truly welcoming.

The spa schedule is also not very guest-friendly, as services only start at 10:00 AM, which makes it difficult to use them if you have an early departure. Parking is paid and costs €50 per day, which also feels excessive.

To be fair, the hotel is clean, and the furniture and interiors are new and modern. However, overall it does not meet our expectations for a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, we would probably choose a different hotel next time.
