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

The hotel is modern and spacious with a terrazzo theme throughout. It is kept very clean and the staff are friendly. We had brunch in the Recharge bar several times which is a real hidden gem. The bar has both typical brunch food as well as modern dishes and is some of the healthiest we found in Funchal as well as being good quality and tasty. The Recharge bar is beautifully furnished. The restaurant is situated behind a street with several good quality restaurants and isn't too far to walk into the old town. There is sea access from the hotel which we enjoyed each day and there is a reasonably well equipped gym with several machines and free weights up to 14kg. On the first night we stayed in a beautiful room on the 10th floor which was flooded with light and had a large balcony. The only downside was the DJ playing until 23:30 just above our room. If you usually go to bed after 23:30 or if you are used to sleeping with noise then I don't think this would be a problem. For us, however, it was an issue so we asked to move rooms. The next night we moved to the 7th floor where no music could be heard and we were more than adequately compensated for the disruption to sleep on the first night. The member of reception who liaised with the manager for us was extremely patient and polite throughout the process.

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.

The Hotel is perfect to spend some nights relaxing in Funchal. With a very relax and modern ambience we managed to recover fast for our day to day work. The Hotel itself , the staff, the Breakfast and the swimming pool with direct access to the ocean made our delights . Great job from every single staff member being efficient without being noticed. Real Hospitality I will be back for sure !!

What a gem. Lovely rooms. Clean. Good location. Staff really helpful. Plenty of space to sit. Doesn’t feel overcrowded Good variety of food and drink. Lovely views. Ticks all of our boxes. Teens loved the movie night at the cloud bar. Previous reviews say pillows are small. They are definitely not small.

All I'll say is you'll be even more pleasantly surprised at the quality of everything like my partner and I were. From the service to the room to the food. Absolutely tremendous all round and would 100000% book again. We booked the Junior ocean view room which was bigger than we could have imagined and very comfortable. Thank you NEXT hotel for an exceptional experienced we really needed after an unexpected 35 hour transit to Madeira. We will be back!
