    Great time in Dorisol Mimosa

    rating22 Mar 2026

    Had a great 2 weeks in the Dorisol Mimosa , rooms was ideal for 2 of us , good sized bathroom and well equipped kitchen with everything we needed, nice balcony overlooking pool, hotel facilities were excellent and we used the Spa area a few times as sadly weather wasn’t to great. Good location bit of a steep hill up to hotel but if you cut through other hotel breaks up the climb , plus it does get easier as you get used to it 🙂. All the staff at the hotel were great , friendly and attentive , big thanks to the room cleaner who came in every day so we had a nice clean room to come back to. Hotel is in a good location with a 20 min walk into Funchal but at night time there is plenty to do nearer to the hotel, thanks Dorisol Mimosa for a great holiday 👍 Filipa Teixeira, Revenue Management at Mimosa Studio Hotel, responded to this review Dear Guest,On behalf of the entire Dorisol team, we sincerely thank you for your kind and detailed review, as well as for choosing Dorisol Mimosa for your holiday.We are truly delighted to hear that you had a great two-week stay with us and that you enjoyed the comfort of your room, the facilities, and the balcony view. It is also wonderful to know that you made use of our spa area and found our location convenient, despite the hill—your positive attitude about it made us smile!Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us. We will be especially pleased to share your appreciation with our housekeeping staff, who work hard every day to ensure our guests’ comfort.It was a pleasure having you with us, and we very much hope to welcome you back in the near future for another memorable stay.Best regards,André Andrade, General Manager Dorisol

    Beware of the steep climb.

    rating16 Mar 2026

    You'll have to be very fit to stay at this hotel, steep hill to and from the hotel. No transport provided up to the hotel with all your luggage, we are a retired couple and there was no warning about a steep climb, especially when you're dropped off at the bottom with all your luggage. Hotel itself is nice but wouldn't stay here again because of the very steep climb. Filipa Teixeira, Revenue Management at Mimosa Studio Hotel, responded to this review Dear Ms. Julie,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your impressions of your recent stay with us.We sincerely appreciate your comments regarding the access to the hotel and understand how challenging the steep hill can be, especially when traveling with luggage. Please allow us to inform you that we do offer a buggy service to assist our guests with transporting luggage up and down the hill. Our team is always happy to arrange this service whenever needed.We regret that this was not communicated to you during your stay, and we will certainly reinforce this information with our team to ensure all guests are properly informed in the future.We are pleased to know that you found the hotel itself enjoyable, and we hope you might reconsider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable experience.Best regards,André Andrade, General Manager Dorisol

    Avoid at all costs

    rating05 Jan 2026

    Avoid this hotel if you value sleep or basic customer service.We were put in room 301, which is directly beside a fire escape stairwell. Housekeeping used this staircase constantly throughout the day, dragging heavy carts on wheels up and down. The noise was relentless and completely unacceptable, starting around 9am and continuing until about 6pm every single day. Rest was impossible.We raised this issue repeatedly with reception, including with Luis, and nothing was done. No room change, no meaningful attempt to resolve it, not even an acknowledgement of how disruptive it was. Just polite nodding and zero action.The hotel is very strict when it comes to enforcing its payment and no-cancellation policy within 14 days, yet shows little interest in honouring guests once they have your money. That is not customer service.Our flight was delayed by an extra day and under normal circumstances we would have stayed on. Instead, we could not wait to leave.The hotel itself is dated, tired, and poorly managed, but the worst part by far is the complete lack of care for guests. Awful experience from start to finish. Absolutely unacceptable. Filipa Teixeira, Revenue Management at Mimosa Studio Hotel, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your impressions of your stay at our Hotel Mimosa.We sincerely regret to read about the inconvenience you experienced, particularly regarding the noise issues associated with room 301 and the nearby fire escape stairwell. Please accept our apologies for the disruption to your rest and for the frustration caused by the situation not being resolved to your satisfaction. This is certainly not the level of comfort or service we aim to provide our guests.We are also sorry that you felt your concerns were not adequately addressed by our reception team. Your feedback regarding communication, follow-up, and overall guest care is taken very seriously and has been shared with the relevant departments, including management, so that corrective measures can be reviewed and implemented.We regret that these circumstances affected your overall perception of the hotel and your decision to shorten your stay. Your comments regarding the condition of the property and our service standards will be carefully considered as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the guest experience.Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide a stay that truly reflects our commitment to our guests.Best regards,André Andrade, General Manager Dorisol

    Noisy hotel, take early plugs!

    rating29 Dec 2025

    The Mimosa is 1 of 3 Dorisol hotels and is the furthest away from where the coach drops you off. As with all of Madeira there is quite an incline to drag your cases up to reach the Mimosa. Apparently they do offer a golf cart shuttle if you're willing to wait a while.The problem I had was the noise. I did email the hotel a week before arrival requesting a quiet room preferably on a high floor, this didnt work! I started with room 508. The hotel is metres away from a busy road, where loud motorbikes and other vehicles can be heard inside the room with all doors shut. There is no soundproofing at all, and you can hear everything in the corridors and adjacent rooms. I asked to move rooms away from the road but they put me in room 402 - right next to the fire exit that all the cleaners use to wheel trolleys in and out. They wedge the fire door open which allows all the road noise into the corridors. I'm sure the reception staff knew this when they moved me - maybe a punishment for asking to move!! My new room key also did not work, this meant dragging luggage back to reception to get the key sorted.I had to use ear plugs every night just to sleep. During the day is also difficult to sleep due to the cleaners and maintenance staff making noise. The Mimosa has reasonable facilities which are functional but tired. The 1st room I had did not have hot water in the sink, there were gaps in the laminate flooring etc.The outdoor pool was freezing - worse than the sea! The indoor pool was nice.The food at breakfast was never hot, even when I was there at the 0730 opening time, it was luke warm at best. If I had to stay here again it would need to be in the Buganvilla. I will never stay in the Mimosa again. Filipa Teixeira, Revenue Management at Mimosa Studio Hotel, responded to this review Dear Mr. Tim,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your personal impressions of your stay at our hotel. We truly value detailed feedback from our guests as it helps us to improve our services.We are pleased to know that you found our facilities functional and enjoyed the indoor pool. At the same time, we sincerely regret that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the noise, room issues, and breakfast temperature, as well as for the difficulties with your room key. Your comments regarding room allocation, maintenance, and facility conditions have been carefully noted and will be addressed to ensure improvements where possible.Please rest assured that your feedback is very important to us, and we will use it to enhance the experience for our future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in one of our other Dorisol hotels, such as the Buganvilla, and provide a stay that exceeds your expectations.Best regards,André Andrade, General Manager Dorisol

    Shoddy ,uncaring service

    rating08 Oct 2025

    We visited the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel 3-10 October with my 85 year old father. Although clean and tidy, the indoor pool was closed for maintenance. Upon arrival, we found that the buggy carrying guests up the considerably steep hill was broken with no mention or communication of either from TUI or indeed the hotel.This when we enquired as to when the vehicle would be repaired & asked for assistance with my fathers suitcase, was treated with dismissive indifference.Would we use this hotel again? The answer is categorically NO!! , there are better hotels within a similar price range, offering a much better attitude service that go the extra mile. Filipa Teixeira, Revenue Management at Mimosa Studio Hotel, responded to this review Dear Mr. Mark,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your impressions of your recent stay at the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel.We are truly sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this caused, especially considering your father’s mobility needs. Your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure better communication and assistance in the future.We genuinely value your comments, as they help us improve our services and guest experience. We hope you might reconsider and give us another opportunity to provide you with the comfortable and attentive stay that our guests expect and deserve.Best regards,André Andrade General Manager Dorisol
