Overall Ratings & Reviews Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel

I had a lovely time. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Cleaning staff are very friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that the outdoor pool needs to be heated as it is very cold.

Massive Room and Balcony was excellent. Perfect as a base or to chill out in after sightseeing/hiking. Facilities were great and easy to find/use. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed for two nights. Chose this hotel as close to the start line of the Funchal Marathon. The main part of the town is a good 40 minute walk which is hilly in places. Be warned, if you're not in a car you have quite a steep walk to get to the hotel. You go down two lots of stairs to get to the buffet restaurant. Better signage is required as it is not clear from a distance where the restaurant is. You see the sign when you're on top of it. The restaurant itself was very chaotic lots of people getting in each other way. Though staggered evening meal slots still too many in there. Choice of food was quite good and varied however wasn't hot. Breakfast starts at 7.30 am though judging how many were already there when I arrived just after 7.30 am they probably allow guests in before then. I found one table free with no cutley so ended up setting my own table. There needs to be clear signs on where to obtain hot water for making tea and where the milk is located. The milk should be near both machines which are at both ends of the restaurant. When I found the milk I was disappointed that it did not taste fresh. Did not raise with the staff in the restaurant as lack of English understood. It was good that fresh fruit was available bananas, apples, melon and pineapple. Would of been nice to have a bowl of berries. The hotel room is part studio with fridge, microwave and cooker. It would of been helpful to have glasses which were not for wine and a tea towel would also useful.

Nice location, friendly staff, delicious food. People walking past my room early in the morning and late at night were rather noisy but this is not the fault of the hotel.

Great to be able to choose a room with a balcony facing the right way for the new years eve fireworks

A very enjoyable, comfortable stay. Great food for breakfast, very helpful, friendly receptionists and staff. What's not to like.

The breakfast is wonderful!!!

Nice view and comfortable room and good service.

Wi Fi did not work in my room and I had to come close to the door or go to a corridor

Very clean but no AC

The breakfast buffet was not worth the price. There are much better cafes around the corner that have better food for the same price. Checking in was a nightmare. They would not let me in the gate, so I had to park in the street, run up the hill to reception, where they told me that parking was full and directed me to a parking garage several blocks away and then carry my luggage up the hill to check in. There are several Dorisol Hotels in the same area, so it was very unclear which one was Mimosa. Clmbing the hill to Mimosa every day got exhausting, by the end of my trip I dreaded walking up that hill, even for a fit person. I requested to get a parking reservation, but when I asked the next morning, they said parking was already full so I gave up on trying to park on site, besides the parking garage was actually cheaper. However, at the end of my stay they tried to charge me for my parking reservation. The rooms are outdated. The beds and pillows are so uncomfortable. There was hair in my bathroom from someone else. The view from the balcony was nice, although there is not much privacy and can see your neighbors. There is no A/C or heat so it did very warm even with the balcony door open at night. Outside noise and noise from neighbors is very easily heard inside. The pool was nice and the bar was decent. They did have nightly dance shows. Overall, I would not recommend.

Lovely views over the bay. Good quality room woth lots of space.

Check in member of staff was rude, would not check us in without passports which we didn't have as we were only staying 1 night for a wedding down the road, how do the locals check in? got in around 3am to find a massive cockroach in the room. beds were comfy and shower was nice

Good hotel for families - 2 outside pools & 1 inside, plenty of loungers/chairs to sit. Hotel communal areas rather dated but clean. Sizeable rooms with lovely balcony overlooking pool & sea views. A steep slope up to the hotel itself, but good exercise! Decent location, walking distance to seafront & plenty of shops/restaurants around. Overall a very pleasing stay!

parking was never available - music was loud and inadequate hard to climb to the reception cleaning lady very very kind

I can ignore the steep road to reach the place because it’s the feature in Funchal, even for other hotels. But Most of services written on the website are not available. WiFi can only be accessed at public area, not in room. The website stated refrigerator and microwave available, however, they are not provided. The staffs working at the reception didn’t tell details about their service like massage. The last thing is the indoor swimming pool is extremely dirty, I hardly could see inside of the pool. Except these, the breakfast is good, the scenery from room is beautiful, you definitely can relax in such a place even there are many annoying things.

IT WAS GOOD FOR NICE AND CLEAN FOR WHAT I PAID.

Hotel room was clean, adequate for our needs and had a small balcony. Bed was very uncomfortable though. Facilities at the hotel were good. Hotel was on a very steep hill, so not so good if you're unfit. We hired a car for 3 days and was able to park in the Hotel underground car park, however I would imagine there wouldn't be enough spaces in peak season.

Very good facilities, good breakfast and helpful staff.

Good location and pleasantly surprised re breakfast choice. Room was okay and clean. I’ve stayed in better but more expensive hotels. Staff were lovely. Didn’t make use of indoor pool or jacuzzi but looked amazing. Gym was so so with mainly weights and abs no cardio machines. Location was ideal for walk to town or rocky beach.
