I stayed at the Mimosa Hotel for 2 nights in December 2005, stopping in Melaka en route from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.
This is a clean, modern hotel in a busy market area with well-equipped rooms and a reasonable complimentary breakfast.
I paid RM125 (approx 20 GBP / 30 Euros) per night, including breakfast and a complimentary English language newspaper, the New Straits Times.
The room types available are Standard, Superior, Special Superior and Deluxe, with prices ranging from RM98 for a standard twin to RM232 for a deluxe double.
My superior room included en-suite facilities (bath and shower), air-conditioning (much needed!), a mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, satellite TV (including the invaluable ESPN Sports channel with live English football), a wardrobe, an armchair and an IDD telephone. Oddly, a notice on the wall included the price of all items in the room in case anyone wanted to purchase them as souvenirs - this included everything from the TV and the wardrobe to the bin and the shower curtain!
The buffet breakfast consisted of a reasonable variety, including toast and marmelade, boiled eggs, baked beans, noodles, fried potatoes and various local specialities that I didn't recognise (often including noodles and seafood). Coffee, tea and fruit juice is also available. Breakfast is served in the ground floor Lattice Cafe.
Other services offered by the hotel include: free car parking, safe deposit boxes in reception, fax and postal services, laundry service and hair dryers,irons and cots which can be hired upon request.
The Town Square, the riverside and China Town are about 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. There are numerous shops and restaurants surrounding the hotel.
Taxis are generally available directly outside the hotel.
