Hotel Windsor

Hotel Windsor is a budget hotel at Rua das Hortas 4-C in central Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The street lies in the northern part of the centre, a short uphill walk from the old town, the Mercado dos Lavradores, the cathedral and the seafront promenade. The position suits visitors who want to explore on foot and eat in the traditional restaurants of the centre, and the departure points for many island tours are close by. The hotel is a simple city property with a practical, traditional character and a wider range of facilities than its price suggests. Listed amenities include an outdoor pool, a rooftop terrace, a restaurant, a cafe, parking, free wifi, air conditioning and meeting rooms. The outdoor pool and rooftop terrace give guests places to relax after sightseeing, and the terrace offers views over the city and its hills. The restaurant and cafe cover breakfast and light meals on site, while the neighbourhood adds many further options, from cafes to seafood and espetada grills. The meeting rooms mean the hotel also receives business and group visitors. Room types are standard singles, standard doubles or twins and triple rooms, so solo travellers, couples and small groups are all catered for. Parking is listed among the amenities, which is helpful in central Funchal where street parking is limited, but guests should confirm the terms when booking. The price range is the lower mid-range band, and the rating of 3.1 is the lowest of the group, indicating mixed feedback, so recent reviews are worth checking and details should be confirmed with the property. Service is aimed at independent travellers and short-stay visitors. The airport is around 20 to 25 minutes away by road depending on traffic. Central streets can be busy at night, and the slope up from the harbour is noticeable on foot.
