I will start by saying that this hotel exceeded my expectations! After reading reviews , I was expecting it to be really old, unfriendly staff with at least clean rooms. It was a family holiday of 10 of us so I have prewarned everyone not to expect much as it's 3 start hotel. From the moment we have stepped in the reception I was like wow, it doesn't look old at all. Receptionist was really friendly and happy to help ( it was midnight when we checked in ). Rooms are decent size and very clean and yet again it didn't feel old nor there was a smell. Beds are comfortable and clean. Room was all set up for toddler and crib already provided ( we once had to wait in the 5* hotel for the crib to be brought in our room even thought they knew we are with the baby) so well impressed. We ate breakfast few times during our stay and it was good! It was everything you would want for breakfast: fresh bread, juice, coffee, all types of freshly made eggs, pastries, cheese, had, veggies and fruits! Perfect way to start the day! Hotel has entertainment every evening and the folklore on Wednesday was great! The best of all I have to admit! Swimming pools are good and are cleaned everyday, there is sauna that we have used one morning as it was raining outside. Location is perfect, one bus to get to city centre and it's only like 5 stops away, we have even walked few times. The hotel is up the hill and you have to walk to the hill or there is steps which we didn't mind and I would stay it's quite unique as you get beautiful views from the roof terrace. Overall we had a great stay and I would come back to this hotel.

I think the only thing that we didn't like is that the roof terrace is only open till 11pm. It's really lovely there to just sit and enjoy the view and few drinks but we have been asked to leave as it's closes. One evening it was something past 10pm and they came and said that they are closing roof top. But it was only our group on the terrace so perhaps it's easier to close it then wait for us to leave. It might be different story of there were more people on the terrace.

The pool and the the terrace bar were lovely and it was well located to access Funchal! Reception were super lovely and help suggesting tours for visiting more of the island.

The property is in a set of three - this wasn't particularly clear on arrival and we didn't realise it was up quite a steep hill! (Nothing can be changed about that though)

Three pools ( one with a bar, one indoor and one not so busy where one could relax with a book), small fitness room, many lounges where one could relax, many TV channels also from other countries (for example we could watch sportschau from Germany), nice small balcony with a table and two chairs, the bathroom was modern and comfortable, buffet for breakfast and dinner were really good especially for the price, breakfast was always more or less the same but still with enough choice, dinner was.more.versatile and most of the things we ate where pretty tasty, definitely good for the price). There was always a little show at the evening. The internet wa good. We could use a.possibity to enter the cantine before official breakfast times when we had to leave early and have some cereals and coffee.

The safe was.not included in the price,.we had to pay extra (1,8€ /day), You could see pretty big cockroaches once for a.while but I can imagine it's hard to avoid them there also plenty of ants bit it was ad not bad that we would fell unco.fortable to eat there. Kitchen was not good equipmed, I suppose they don't control it regularly and the Items just disappear... We didn't need it as we had a half board which Wal more than enough food for the day but if you want to cook it might be problematic

Awesome view from balcony, pool area, location, we could leave our luggage in hotel before check-in.

Bartender at the pool was little grumpy and the check-in could be quicker. Bathroom smell when there is low air pressure.

Our 6-day stay at Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in until our reluctant goodbye, every part of our experience was simply outstanding. Our room was like a cozy haven, beautifully designed and super comfy. The hotel facilities were top-notch — inviting pools, a relaxing wellness area, a fun tennis court, and a compact but well-equipped gym for a quick workout. The dining experiences were a highlight! Every meal, from breakfast to dinner, was a culinary delight. The diverse menu and attentive staff made dining a joyous experience. What truly stood out was the amazing staff at Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel. Friendly and always ready to help, they made us feel like part of the family. A special shout-out to the efficient room service. Every morning, our room was expertly cleaned while we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, setting the perfect tone for the day. In a nutshell, our stay was a solid 5-star experience. Luxurious rooms, delectable dining, fantastic facilities, and a staff that goes above and beyond — Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel, you've won our hearts.

Hotel have nice location and pool area, rooms are small but cozy. You can walk to the beach area (rocks) within 10 min and to the city center 30 min

Hotel is old and need refreshment, to get the pool towels you need to ask reception but there were no more towels when we arrived :( Hotel is full of old people but they are not prepared for that very well, they are located on very steep hill so walking to the main building was a killer for me as a young person. Breakfast: OMG terrible! It's Madeira where they have millions kind of fruits and vegetables, and for breakfast you could get watermelon or pineapple if you lucky, no vegetables, no fresh juice, everything was very greasy and tasteless. It's good hotel for the price but when you don't spend to much time there.

The view from our room on the 8th floor looking towards the ocean was breathtaking. Breakfast options were plentiful. The pool area with the bar near it was relaxing during the day.

Breakfast and reception staff were often rude and not so customer centric. Some breakfast options were often not refilled in a timely manner. The evening programs were loud and annoying when you just wanted to rest in your room, due to the poor sound proofing.

The room was clean. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The breakfast was good. The staff is very kind and polite. We had a car and the parking was in the garage of the Hotel so we didn't need to worry where we will leave the car. There are a lot of restaurants and small shops around the Hotel. The room had small but useful kitchen with refrigerator.

It was hard to lock/unlock the door of the room from the outside. The walls are incredible thin, and you can hear everybody around you (left, right, up and down). We were in our room only during the night, tired from all day walking and hiking, so just wanted to sleep, but next to us were some young group of friends who were partying. If you neighbours are gonna be quite than you will not have that problem. The room safe didn't have the lock so we could not use it.

The breakfast was tasty and plentiful, suitable for both vegetarians and everyone else. The dining room is large and bright, it was also possible to eat outside. The hotel also had many corners for sitting, reading books, watching TV, working on the computer. Every night there was something going on, either a performance by dancers or a disco night or music. There was an indoor and outdoor swimming pool and parking for guests for a fee. At the top of the hotel is a terrace with an exceptional view. All employees were extremely friendly and helpful.

Maybe an extra blanket wouldn't have hurt as the weather was cooler during our visit. Well, we got it when we made the request. A stand or hanger for wet clothes or swimwear would also be nice. Bigger TV?

Perfect Hotel close to everything (city center, bus stop, supermarket, restaurants, car rentals…). Our room was fully equipped, we loved to have a kitchen where we could cook something and sit on our terrace that had a beautiful view to the ocean. Perfectly clean, comfy bed, enough space. The breakfast was delicious with a wide range of hot and cold dishes. The staff was kind and helpful. We loved the organized evening programs (folklore night, music performance…) or just sit outside on the terrace or on the rooftop terrace. We definitely recommend this Hotel!
