Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel

Guests appreciate the superb breakfast buffet, good value for money, convenient location near public transport and peaceful surroundings.

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.
