Summer Break

We had a great time at this hotel. We upgraded our room on arrival to a full sea-view and couldn't recommend these rooms more, if this is what you like, go for C Block any 0021 (There are only 3) The hotel is very peaceful and perfect for a relaxing unwind. It has extensive Spa facilities but we didn't use these. The whole place is spotless and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had bed & breakfast accommodation and the food was also very good with something for everyone in a non-rushed atmosphere. The hotel is situated next to a bus stop for quick and easy travel into Funchal centre but also has many good restaurants, bars and The Forum shopping mall near by. You can book many trips around the island as well as activities from the hotel or nearby vendors.…

Excellent accommodation to a high standard

Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we headed to the pool area to be met with stunning views! The area was chilled & relaxed & very welcoming. I instantly fell in love with the place. Staff at the pool bar were very friendly & food delicious (we had a burger & chip between 2) When I went to enquire if the room was ready reception staff knew me by name! They helped me take the luggage to the room which was spacious, very clean & overlooked the pool. There was even a small cooking area, microwave & fridge in what I thought was the wardrobe!!There was plenty to choose from at breakfast & food was good , there really was ample selection to suit everyone’s tastes. Cleaning staff were polite & friendly & made our towels in to swans for our anniversary, they also left us a bottle of sparkling wine for both our anniversary & my birthday which was much welcomed. There are plenty of sunbeds at all times of the day, so no manic rush to claim them at 6.30am. WiFi service was good throughout the complex. There are restaurants & a supermarket near by & a walk along the seafront in both directions (although can be a bit hilly). The hotel held a BBQ by the pool on the Thursday which smelt delicious, only problem was you had to book at reception before 3.30pm if you wanted to attend & we had been on a tour of the island that day, not returning until after 4pm (it was also €24 each) …

good hotel with exceptional staff

First stay on the Island - the hotel offers a good standard of accommodation, the location is not ideal if you want to do lots though. Room was a good size and clean. Food was very good for dinner and breakfast with plenty of choice. The main strength of this hotel is the staff- they cannot do more for you or be any friendlier. I especially want to mention - Liliana in the restaurant, Nuno and Igor - they looked after us very well and made the holiday extra special.…

The Good care I received

I just quickly want to say what a wonderful experience I had staying for 7 days at Golden Residence Hotel. During the 7 days I stayed there, the staff were exceptional and I enjoyed the plentiful choice of breakfast dishes on offer. I was particularly touched by the reception staff, especially by the reception manager, Ms Susana Silva, who went out of her way to make our stay, especially our daughter's, quite enjoyable. I'm happy to recommend the hotel to other people visiting Madeira.…

Really enjoyed our visit to Golden Residence. We stayed bed and breakfast. There was an excellent selection. Friendly staff and good service. The highlight was the hotel cat called Oscar. Would be happy to return.

Noen som vet hvor premium leilighetene med delvis sjøutsikt ligger, i hvilken bygning og på hvilken side? Solforhold?

We have booked a premium apartment and would like to know where the apartment is located. In which building? On the north or southern side or at the short side? How are the sun conditions for these apartments?

Hi, is there a hotel shuttle bus into Funchal? Thanks

is there car parking available. if so is there a charge and how much does it cost?

There is some parking on the road for free or meter paying nearby or pay for hotel parking which is 5 euros

About how far from the centre of Funchal is this hotel. Like to walk into town rather than get a bus or taxi

To walk it would take 45 mins by cab 15 to 20 mins. Taxi is 5euros from the Golden residence. Funchal centre is gorgeous beautiful harbour lovely restraurants
