Funchal Travel Forum

I am trying to find a decent hotel and wondered if anyone had any suggestions? I am looking at the hotel Dorisol Mimosa, has anyone stayed here? Is it nice,clean ect...??
Or is the hotel Monumental Lido a better option? Ive found the Monumental Lido for around £70 more is it worth paying this extra to stay there or are the two hotels similar? Please help, Thank you.

Considering Euro is our currency, perhaps it would be polite to place your question in another way....

Im not just aiming my question at people who live in Madeira, im aiming it at all the guests who may have stayed there from other countries also and considering the currency is different all across the world I cant convert it for everyone.. Besides the euro and pound are pretty similar these days!!

If anyone can help on my question that would be great, thanks.

Mimosa is about 10 minutes walk uphill from Monumental Lido. It is located on a hill together with two other Dorisol Hotels, with shared facilities. Personally I would recommend Monumental Lido, it is on the main through road to the city and has bus stops and taxis close by, as well as many very good eating places.

The hotels are quite similar and yet most people prefer the Monumental. They are both situated in the same area but the Monumental is best situated for everything. Have a look at this funchal map: http://www.madeira-seekers.com/FunchalMap.html . Monumental Lido is number 19 on D9. I personally would pay the extra €70.
