What guests think

At Sé Boutique Hotel, travellers consistently praise the central old‑town location, friendly and helpful staff, and the rooftop bar with views, while recurring downsides include some very small or windowless rooms, noise in certain areas, and mixed room comfort.

Breakfast is widely described as good with plenty of choice, and the bar sometimes hosts live music. Several reviews note the lack of on‑site parking, with guests using a garage around a 10‑minute walk away. Overall, it suits visitors who value helpful service and atmosphere over uniformly spacious, quiet rooms.

I cannot recommend the Se Boutique Hotel enough. The people who work there are super friendly and helpful, assusting us with booking day trips and activities and advising where i could dind sone superglue to repair my shoes. The rooftop bar is a chill place to have an evening drink and has a good view. Its in a good locatio, a 5 minute walk from the sea front and was quiet.

Great boutique hotel located conveniently for exploring Funchal. Special thank you to the staff who were very friendly and helpful. Pros: central location, stylish design, good breakfast, excellent rooftop bar. Cons: standard rooms are tiny and have very little light (would recommend standard plus instead), some rooms in need of refurbishment, facilities like pool were unavailable. Overall, I would recommended this place.

Toll gelegenes Boutique Hotel inmitten von Funchal. Sehr freundliches Personal, weiter so! Wir sind mit dem Auto angereist und das Parkhaus befindet sich rund 10 Minuten entfernt, halb so wild... wenn wir das im Voraus gewusst hätten, wärs fast perfekt gewesen. Gemütliche Rooftop Bar zum Verweilen!

The property is in good condition and the room, which the hotel kindly upgraded us to, was clean, spacious and bright. It was done in a minimalist design which was fine with us. However more hooks could be installed which would make it more user friendly. The breakfast was really good and the staff excellent. We definitely would stay there again. Recommended!

Our stay was disappointing. There were an excessive number of insects in the room, including in the bed, which made it very uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the bed itself was not comfortable at all. When we brought up the issue with the hotel staff, we were told that nothing could be done about the insects, which was quite frustrating. We expected a better experience and would not recommend this hotel based on our stay.

This hotel is in the perfect location in old town Funchal. Close to many restaurants cafe and the ocean promenade. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The bed was huge! And very comfortable. Spacious bathrooms. Very good water pressure in shower.At the time of booking it did state a city view(you pay a bit more) but really you have to stick your head out the window to get a view…. But it’s not really that important because it has a rooftop terrace with amazing views of Funchal and the ocean. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Decor very quirky and colourful. Would definitely stay there again!

The common areas of the hotel were very nice. I especially liked the roof top bar/music. It had gorgeous views and the live music was very nice. However, I cannot recommend this hotel as the bed was very uncomfortable. I made this comment to the staff when I left and they mentioned there are toppers available. Not sure if this would have helped.

This is a hard one to review. I cannot recommend this hotel if you book one of the rooms that have no windows (we did that mistake and it meant we had no idea of if it was bright or dark outside, and the room felt uncomfortable to us). Service was good, the breakfast was very good, but to advertise the hotel as a four-star boutique hotel and forget to mention that some rooms have no windows is in my view very disrespectful, and makes me disappointed and upset. One should not have to read the small print and figure out what is missing from the room description. Not sure if it is hotels.com or the hotel management that is responsible for the description, but I hope it is changed so that other guests get what they expect.

Hotel is perfectly positioned in the old town of Funchal with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants very close by. The room was a good size and we had beautiful sea views. Breakfast had a good selection however earliest access was 7:30am which was a problem as many tours had a pick up pre 8am. Due to a relatively small dining area, this caused a bottle neck for other guests also. For some mornings breakfast felt very rushed for us and far from ideal ahead of a days hiking.

The staff at Se Boutique are amazing. I was sick after eating bad mussels at a local restaurant. And the staff did everything possible to attend to my needs. The maid helped with water, the front desk provided me with food options, etc. Also, the live fado music on the upstairs terrace is not to be missed. Property and rooms clean and well maintained. And property is centrally located. Great place to stay, and if I return to Madeira, would again stay! Thank you!

A quirky arty hotel with a terrific breakfast and staff serving it, but the room sadly was average at best. The room (303) we had was soulless, limited views (no issue) but the most concerning issue was that the temperature of the water in the shower was both erratic and at times scolding hot. When asked to check it, the reception told us the engineer had looked at it and it was deemed ok. It certainly wasn’t the very next day. Scolding hot and chilling cold water. On telling the receptionist again they informed us no engineers work on a Sunday. Hotels have issues, how they deal with it speaks volumes. Sadly this one left us disappointed.

I enjoyed my stay at the SE Boutique Hotel. The rooftop bar is a highlight serving some great cocktails and the breakfast was consistently good. However there were some downsides - the local area is noisy late into the night and it was necessary to keep the room curtains closed for privacy as the room was directly overlooked from flats in the opposite streets. Some staff were friendly and helpful but some were not.

Extremely good service from all the staff. Great location for restaurants and access to Old Funchal. There are two downsides. 1st, parking is beyond extremely challenging - as in “Good Luck Finding Parking less than 1km away.” 2nd, This is the main reason why I would not choose a place calling itself a boutique hotel. The rooms, beds, washrooms, are extremely old and uncomfortable - not what you expect a boutique hotel to be. As a recommendation, the Hotel can inprove by simple replacing all the mattresses with premium ones and simple changing everything in the room white as the current colors inside are similar to a 1970’s basement apartment. The washroom need renovations and something as simple as new comfortable toilets and modern hardware would make them incredible.
