Mimosa Hotel, Melaka

Advantages: Good cheap hotel and excellent location
Disadvantages: Busy - but very popular

...It was a very good place to stay - it was a cheap hotel with a convenient location. The prices where very good and the staff friendly. When traveling in Malacca its important to make sure you are not too in the centre of town because traffic is very bad there, so this hotel on the edge of town offers the best solution. Its a friendly place with parking right outside and this nice chicken restaurant right outside on the ground floor. The coffee shops are near by. The rooms as good and many types if you need a large room for a family or your relatives are staying with you. It was nice to have an adjoining room for my kidss. It recommend it again to anyone....

Advantages: Fascinating cultural and historic destination
Disadvantages: too much to see in one day

...and airy dwellings and see how the family live. Donations are very welcome (and expected) but otherwise entrance is free. The Villa Sentosa is open every day except for Friday mornings and female visitors are expected to bring an escort. The Tourist Board can give you information about the well signposted and annotated ‘heritage walk’ as well as maps and details of accommodation, events and other attractions. If that wasn’t enough, in the area outside Melaka, towards Ayer Keroh, there is a butterfly farm, zoo and the Cultural Village where you can see examples of Malay architecture from the different states of Malaysia. As for accommodation, well, I have experience of a couple of Hotels in Melaka, for example the Renaissance Melaka provides very good accommodation. For those wishing to stay in the recreated ambience of the Baba... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, clean hotel with lots of facilities close to Funchal Lido
Disadvantages: A pull uphill to the door - but it is Madeira - everything is uphill!

...Bearing in mind the price of this hotel, we were agreeably surprised by the quality. The room was clean and of a reasonable size with a lovely sea view and overlooking the swimming pool. The staff were friendly, especially the chambermaids! The breakfast was good, with a good selection of food,although being self-service it was a bit of a scramble if you arrived at around 9am, when we all seem to want to eat our breakfasts! The only problem is that the hotel is a sharp pull up from the road (as is most of Madeira) although those with cars or using taxis will have no problem arriving at the door. The walk into Funchal is very manageable by us two 69 year olds but we are fitter than some and enjoy levada walking. The levada near the hotel has 150 steps up to it!... Read review
