Our stay at Mimosa Hotel was good. We were on a high floor (9) so a very good view from the balcony. Initially, we were met with a rude lady on reception who was awkward about checking in, we understood that we needed to wait to check in (3pm) but even at 14:55 the receptionist was particularly awkward about the room. We were on half board so before we went up to the room we had to pick what time we went for our evening meal either 7-8,8-9 or 9-10pm we opted for 7-8pm. However the same rude receptionist then said we couldn’t go at that time and had to come at 9-10pm which is ridiculous. We ended up going at 7-8pm anyway and took no notice and we always got a table it wasn’t busy. Other than that the other staff members were very pleasant. And no other complaints. The room was cleaned very well each day. The food at breakfast was ok, I don’t eat hot breakfast but the cereal was alright. The evening food was also ok nothing special, it was a bit limiting for vegetarians but I didn’t mind what was put on offer. We did eat out one of the nights in a lovely Indian called Chef Guru I’d definitely recommend it was exceptional. The hotel is in a great location, the hill is steep-ish that it is on but not as bad as some people make it out to be in the reviews it’s just like the rest of Funchal. There’s lots of restaurant near bye and a spar and also a pingo dance supermaket which was cheaper and much larger. You can catch the bus into Funchal from a couple streets down but it’s very busy, so we opted to walk. The walk is very lovely not too hilly and about 40-45 minutes. We didn’t utilise the pool as the sun wasn’t on many sunbeds in the morning we opted for lido beach club and paid there it was very reasonable €5.50 entry fee then extra for sun beds, it also has a nice restaurant inside, I would recommend going here if you want full sun all day, here there is also access to the sea. Overall, our experience was good some people are very negative in the reviews but our room was lovely and had a ceiling fan and all amenities. It was good for what we paid for it. I would recommend if you’re wanting a good deal for a holiday that’s in a good location.
