Ponta Delgada (Açores) hotellia

Plussat: Erinomainen hostelli. Huone tilava ja koko majoituspaikka tiptop siisti. Aamiainen ja päivällinen tarjoiltiin isoon yhteispöytään jonka ääressä oli mukava keskustella lomailijoiden kanssa päivän kulusta ja nähtävyys/reitti vinkeistä. Päivällinen kuului huoneen hintaan, joka tuli meille yllätyksenä. Ruoka oli todella hyvää!

Plussat: The breakfast is just fantastic! The people are also super helpful and nice, best place to stay in Ponta Delgada.

Miinukset: Only the coffee. You need good beans, folks. Call Intz48 and get them to roast you some nice coffee!

Plussat: All was well arranged. Thank you for offering breakfast on the day of arrival (nice gesture!) and preparing an early breakfast on the morning of arrival.

Miinukset: Nothing to add here

Plussat: Excellent breakfast buffet in a wonderful garden. The reception part was very good and the staff uniform is very cute too.

Miinukset: Well as anywhere we like a little impartiality or transparency on the part of those who receive us, but I found too much on. The part of some of the staff, shattering the plan of my holiday week, because during the day is almost impossible to relax!?! On the other hand I will come back, because the place is so friendly. I truly believe it is a great destination when we want to escape the bustle of the big city:)

Plussat: The atmosphere is really great! Very clean rooms and super tasty dinner

Plussat: The food was wonderful and it is in a great location. Everyone was super friendly and the staff was helpful. The facility was well kept and the backyard is beautiful. Our only regret is not finding time to do the excursions. We would recommend Out of the Blue to anyone.

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: The most amazing hostel- incredible breakfast and clean facilities. The cooks are great and the overall vibe is just perfect.

Plussat: Ihmiset olivat kerrassaan ihania kaikin puolin! aamupalapannukakut ja kaunis puutarha jäivät mieleen <3

Plussat: Excellent vibes, dear and kind people.

Miinukset: No comments

Plussat: The staff was amazing! It felt like they are friends rather than staff. The location is really good, the place looks really cool and clean, breakfast was fresh, everything was fantastic. Best hostel I've ever been to! Will definitely come back.

Plussat: Very nice and funny staff. Croissants and delicous, homemade cake at breakfast. Small, cosy inhouse bar with fair prices and free fruit flavored water. Stylish furnitures and decor in common areas. Clean bathroom including high quality shampoo and soap.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about.

Plussat: This was the perfect place for us! We loved the house, cozy and like a family home. Mafalda, Filipe and their team made our stay a perfect place fir a great vacation.

Plussat: Really cute place :))

Miinukset: The breakfast us more or less everyday the same...

Plussat: Amazing staff, really nice people with perfect english, very helpful in recommending activities for the day. Everything is super clean, and new, really comfortable beds with your own personal fan and light and small personal basket. Every day they make your bed and clean everything which is amazing, and a really nice lobby, patio and kitchen with a great bar and good beer selection. Ohh and the breakfast was really healthy and great. Location is ok with a nice walk through town to get wherever you need, anything in town is within excellent walking location

Plussat: Super friendly & caring people that will give you plenty of advice on your travels! The hostel feels like home; they've got delicious breakfast, nice patio to hang out in, the rooms are clean and the en-suite bathroom is a big plus.

Plussat: So quid and cozy encluding the receptionist Bruna

Plussat: Hotel staff were amazing. They were really nice and welcoming and they all speak very good english. Location is good, 10 minute walking to the center.

Miinukset: Take ear plugs with you. Airport is really close so you can hear airplanes landing and rising and you can also hear the noise from the street. Walls are thick so soundproof is not so good from the other rooms either.

Plussat: Everything was excellent from the breakfast to the very comfortable beds.

Miinukset: I can not think of anything.

Plussat: The staff was very professional and made our stay super easy. They even booked a rental car for me which I really appreciated because I was very confused with trying to choose a service. We enjoyed the breakfast. It was nice that the hotel provided towels for swimming outside of the hotel.

Plussat: The view from the room over the harbor Spacious room Very clean Friendlt staff

Miinukset: What dislike is the loud music from Friday nights disco held in the hotel. You messed up 2 of the 7 nights I stayed (one after a long flight). It's not normal for a 5 star hotel to can't sleep and keep the music laud (and we were at the last floor). You should have confort in the room not noise.

Plussat: Modern, clean, comfortable bed, awesome breakfast! And the staff were very helpful & friendly!

Miinukset: The lighting in the bathroom was a little dark for my liking but overall an amazing room.

Plussat: The front desk staff was pleasant and very helpful. In particular Samir gave us good recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing! We greatly appreciated having a full water bottle available in the room, and the turn down service and cookies were a nice treat.

Plussat: The hotel is a short walk to town centre along the coastal pier. It was an excellent location for driving in and out of city to highway. Service was excellent and pleasant. Breakfast was plentiful with many choices. Mimosas were a nice surprise.

Miinukset: There is a lovely pool lounge on the top floor but the pool was too chilly for swimming.

Plussat: The hotel restaurant is one of the best ever. The food is glorious, either fish or meat. Again, service in the restaurant was top!

Plussat: Staff, location, views, gym and breakfast were amazing. Good help at the reception.

Miinukset: everything went fine. Well done

Plussat: Friendly staff, good restaurant and good fresh food also quiet room. View overlooking the marina was excellent

Miinukset: No complaints....everything was good..thank you

Plussat: Breakfast was a special treat- amazing daily buffet choices including champagne for mimosas! Staff was super friendly and extremely helpful in giving us suggestions and directions for fun and cultural things to do. Really made our stay that much better!!! We had a room with sea view and was great to sit on balcony and watch boats come and go! Upstairs bar was super fun complete with sun bathing deck and pool.

Plussat: Pedro, the owner was super kind and helpful, the room was spacious and clean. The price was excellent for the accommodation and service I got.

Miinukset: It was hard to relax sometimes cause from the old doors and floor you could hear every movement of the other guests

Plussat: Very clean, cosy, sweet and warm guest house :) Thank you for meeting us in the middle of the night! We'd a great stay!

Plussat: Very clean place. Older building, but modernized. Friendly and helpful host.

Miinukset: For the cheapest rate, you get to sleep in a tight space, Which is to be expected.

Plussat: It's more a hostel than a guest house, but it's quite nicely furnished and clean.

Miinukset: It has only 2 bathrooms and one shower. For the lower season it's OK, but if tmits fully booked might be a bit inconvenient.

Plussat: Wonderful experience, great accommodations, exceptional staff, loved Sao Miquel & can’t wait to return!

Plussat: The staff basically saved our trip to the Azores, after we had some troubles with our airline tickets. Outstanding B and B. Excellent for kids / families.

Plussat: I can’t say enough good things about Quinta da Abelheira. Margarida made us feel at home and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. We loved her!! The breakfast spread was wonderful, with many delicious options. The location is central to the airport, the center of Ponta Delgada, and is easily accessible to sites like Furnas and Sete Cidades. I would love to come back here again and spend more time exploring the island.

Plussat: Pool was lovely. Hotel and surroundings very clean. Breakfasts were delicious with a large selection of familiar foods plus tasty local foods. Enjoyed homemade cakes, cookies and breakfast items such as quiche and yogurt.

Miinukset: While it’s great to conserve electricity, the steps up to the room remained dark until I reached the 2nd or 3rd step.

Plussat: The location was great, close to town but on a nice quiet street. The staff were nice and accommodating and the breakfast was yummy.

Plussat: Extremely nice staff, excellent breakfast , nice and clean rooms

Miinukset: A little too expensive

Plussat: The hosts were friendly and accomodating. House had a feeling of a home. Beautiful greenery all around and private entrance. Nice view from the hill on the sea and Ponte Delgada

Miinukset: Room I booked said garden view room but it was facing the parking lot. It was quiet and comfortable but did not really represent what was advertised on booking.com.

Plussat: This will be long. But worth reading if you’re going to Sao Miguel. This hotel is beautiful and charming. The decor is lovely and all details are cared for incredibly well. The rooms are spotlessly clean and cozy. The breakfast buffet is exceptional - it changes every day, and everything is fresh and delicious. It’s also presented beautifully. All of this was really great. However, the people who work at the hotel made our stay. Margarida is amazing. We assumed she owned the place by how much work and heart she puts into everything. She and Stacy went above and beyond to help us with every request for advice or restaurant bookings or activities. They are very warm and seem to genuinely enjoy helping guests have a good experience while visiting Sao Miguel. They gave very good tips for places to go based on talking with us and understanding our interests (e.g. Stacy recommended a beach that was a real escape, situated below a jungle-like forest and surrounded by beautiful, very dramatic coastline, with very few people). Every member of the staff is very kind and helpful. You feel very welcome and relaxed. They’ve managed to create a unique atmosphere. I should also mention that Margarida and Stacy switched into overdrive when they learned it was my boyfriend’s birthday. We gave no notice and had a few unrealistic would-this-be-possible requests for the day. They went all out to try to make it all happen. They’re clearly well connected on the island and know it well. Margarida knew that I wanted my boyfriend to be able to have chocolate cake that evening at dinner and to avoid any chance of the restaurant selling out of their chocolate desserts, she personally delivered a chocolate cake to the restaurant in the afternoon as a gift to us. Imagine! If you’re going to Sao Miguel, I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Thank you Margarida, Stacy, Joao, everyone! -Molly

Plussat: - Beautiful grounds and setting - Delicious breakfast with variety of specialties - Nice pool area - Great hospitality

Plussat: We arrived at midnight at the airport but there was still waiting someone to welcome us at the hotel (with umbrellas and all since it was raining a lot). Excellent breakfast with fresh homemade products (cakes, juices, eggs, jams...) with a lot of choice in a very nice setting. Helpful and very kind staff.

Plussat: Ocean view room. Amazing staff!

Miinukset: The views from the ocean view room are AMAZING! The staff was absolutely wonderful! My only negatives were that it was REALLY windy when we were here and the patio door rattled all night so I didn't get much sleep. We also had two cockroaches in our room. One was pretty big and I killed it. There was a little one that came out the first night but not the second. Overall this doesn't detract from the hotel. This is more just an FYI. Overall I would stay again!

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Very nice facilities. A huge room (a studio apartment). Everything you need in the kitchen (except no food which you'd obviously have to buy yourself). It was prob a low-price (30eur) only because of off-season, but it would be a good deal even if it was a little more expensive.

Miinukset: The hot-water was not working in the morning, but the staff were profusely apologetic, so I think it was very unusual. It'd be nice to put a little freebies in the kitchen as a welcome? (free coffee, etc) A location is a bit remote, but no problem with a car.

Plussat: Staff go out of their way to help and make you feel at home.

Miinukset: The location is a bit remote...

Miinukset: Just a little thing: The bed was noisy and there were two joined single bed

Plussat: Hyvin siisti huoneisto ja parvekkeelta ihanat näkymät. Sijainti oli hyvä, mutta ilman vuokra-autoa ei tuskin pärjäisi. Allasta ja hotellin ravintolaa emme testannut, mutta alle 2km päässä on hyvä uimapaikka ja kalaravintola.

Plussat: Really nice place. You get a whole apartment, there is a pool and a tennis court. The staff was very kind. The view was really amazing!! Lovely way to wake up :) would definitely recommend

Miinukset: The room smelled a bit old? We just put the windows open and it was fine. Also the parking is not in front of the door but 1 minute walking (that was fine for us).

Plussat: People Make the Difference, and Andre and the rest of the Staff of This Exceptional Hotel Makes the Difference!!! We Just Love it!!!

Miinukset: Nothing & Nothing!!!

Plussat: With a gorgeous view, the resort location within nature is perfect if you want to be away from the city stress. The staff is very friendly and will go out of their way to make the stay feel amazing, I checked-in on my birthday and even though I haven't told, when leaving the resort on same day I was happly suprised with some chocolate as a gift from the hotel staff. We found the room always clean and even though we didn't had tablets for the dishwasher, the housekeepers always took care of it. Since we rent a car, which is the best approach in Azores, we were near everything we wanted to visit. You won't regret stay here and most likely will exceed your expectations.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect. Will recommend and be back when coming to São Miguel next time.

Plussat: The location was beautiful: the ocean view from the room was breathtaking. The staff were very friendly and helped us make arrangements for getting around the city. The breakfast at the resort was excellent.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent. Nice variety of options available. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A short and scenic walk to restaurants on the beach. Beautifully remodeled building which maintained a lot of the historic character.

Miinukset: A little outside the city center so less options nearby. While parking is plentiful in the area, the street is a bit tight right in front. It probably adds to the charm in the end but takes a little to get bags in and out.

Plussat: The staff were absolutely fantastic, gave us great recommendations and made lots of bookings for us. We really felt the personal touch. Breakfast was excellent and the one supper we had was delicious. Overall a brilliant stay.

Miinukset: The location is slightly out of town however we enjoyed a waterfront walk into Ponta Delgada and we had a hire car.

Plussat: Very welcoming and friendly place. Beautiful traditional room - quiet and spacious. Delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, freshly baked pancakes and eggs & bacon. Good location with parking spaces available nearby.

Miinukset: /

Plussat: Jose and his wife couldn't be lovelier. All of the extra personal touches made the stay extra special. They went the extra mile to accommodate our 6 month old with a crib, bath and high chair.

Plussat: Hosts, food, attention to detail was wonderful. Garden, deck, advice all made it enjoyable. A nice change from modern similar hotels.

Miinukset: Ventilation could be a bit better, but we had a door to the garden we left open. No worry on safety.

Plussat: Large , unique , clean room . We were very comfortable and found it hard to leave ! Jose is wonderful , he has great recommendations to make your stay an absolute blast

Plussat: The Solar was very comfortable, a short walk to the beach and city center, and quiet. The hosts, Jose and Eduarda, were absolutely fantastic. The dinners that Eduarda prepared were superb, some of the best food I’ve ever had! Jose was very helpful in arranging drivers and tours, and personalizing your experience. Breakfast in the morning was great as well. Our room was large and clean, and beds were comfortable. The small sitting atrium off our room was a nice touch as well. I would absolutely stay here again, and I cannot say enough good things about this property and Jose, Eduarda, and the staff. They even packed us a picnic lunch when we went hiking! They had great local recommendations and helped with making reservations. Excellent all around.

Plussat: Our hosts were wonderful, kind, and very accommodating. They went out of their way to help us plan a great time on Saõ Miguel, with travel advice and booking reservations for us. The room was great; the historic building was very special; and the breakfasts were phenomenal (with different treats every day). The best day of our entire trip was the cooking class and dinner hosted here. The class was fun, the food and wine was amazing, and the connection and camaraderie we had with our hosts and the other guests made the trip unforgettable. We're so glad we stayed here!

Plussat: Staff, location

Plussat: Close to the center. Excellent breakfast with fresh orange juice. I've arrived early morning, and the receptionist found me an empty room, thus I did not have to wait with check-in.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The "Alcides" is a simple hotel run by very kind and generous people. It is conveniently located in the VERY center of the city. Rooms are modestly furnished, but clean and comfortable. Breakfasts served in the restaurant downstairs offer many choices (even fresh OJ!) Did I mentioned kind, generous, helpful service?

Plussat: Nice and friendly staff by the breakfast

Plussat: Huoneemme oli iso ja säilytystilaa paljon. Kaikki huoneet ovat hieman eri kokoisia ja mallisia, joten on hieman tuurista kiinni minkälaisen saa. Tilat olivat siistit ja viihtyisät, mukava ja yksinkertainen sisustus. Patja oli oikein hyvä. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Aamupalatarjonta oli suppeahko, mutta koostui paikallisista tuotteista. Sijainti ei voisi mitenkään olla parempi.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella ei ollut mitään vaihtelua viikon aikana. Hotellissa tehtiin remonttia ja meteli oli kova, onneksi kuitenkin vain päiväsaikaan.

Plussat: Sijainti ehdottoman hyvä.

Miinukset: Avainkortti huoneen oveen vaati hiukan kikkailua.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Had fresh milk.

Plussat: Breakfast was outstanding. Excellent location. Very helpful staff.

Plussat: Very pleasant hotel, recommend a lot. Good location, clean, cozy, tasty breakfasts, nice pool.

Plussat: Convenient central location.

Miinukset: No tea making facilities in room. Broken toilet seat.

Plussat: Staff was excellent, great location. Beautiful entrance and rooms. Large ceilings and French balcony.

Miinukset: WiFi went in and out. No spa facility.Loud construction from 7am banging all day.

Plussat: Staff was very professional and friendly. The place was spotless and the location superb

Miinukset: Nothing disappointing really

Plussat: Breakfast, friendly staff, location, room, bed. Highly recommend this place:)

Miinukset: It takes a little bit of time for shower to warm up but bearable!

Plussat: The hotel offers an excellent breakfast, a good location at the center of the historical area and the internet provided is fast.

Miinukset: The mattresses are too hard and the acoustic isolation is poor, which means that one listen all the noises from the nearby rooms and from the street. The plumbering fixtures at the bathroom aren't working properly.

Plussat: The hotel is at a very good location and we could walk to many of the attractions of the city. The staff was very friendly, especially Jefferson on reception that was very patient giving all the information we needed. but not only him. The hotel restaurant was tasteful with a great chef and the staff was very friendly. The room was big, quiet and comfortable. Wonderful shower. Bathroom sparkling clean. The street is narrow, but the hotel has its own parking space, that was very helpful.

Miinukset: The room didn't have a safe box but this was not an issue since we could leave money and documents at the reception save.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location, nice breakfast, clean rooms

Miinukset: Everything was lovely

Plussat: Great room sea view from balcony and off road covered parking a huge bonus

Plussat: Buffet breakfast was very good. Pool, both indoor and outdoor were nice. Room was very comfortable. Walkway and view from the fifth floor elevator was spectacular!!!!

Miinukset: Shower soap and shampoo could have been better.

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly staff

Plussat: The hotel is situated in the heart of the historic downtown of Ponta Delgada, a few blocks from the marina. It has a surprisingly good carpark which we were not expecting, though longer vehicles may find driving out of the car park a little tricky. The TV has plenty of national and international satellite channels. I never actually got around to using the wifi, but it was free of charge. The breakfast wasn't bad, though a second coffee machine would have been welcome. Great view of the ocean from the 7th and 8th floor rooms (ocean facing). Another surprise was the outdoor pool. They also have a spa but I didn't have time to see it.

Miinukset: I did not like the "natural" orange juice at breakfast - was it made from real oranges? It seemed watered down. They also have the chemical tasting orange drink that is ubiquitous in many hotels around Portugal. There is only one machine for coffee and hot beverages, so if there are a lot of guests at the hotel, you will probably need to wait in line.

Plussat: Nice location and very clean. The pool was very chilly though especially in comparison to the other hotels we stayed in on the island. Nice friendly staff and good breakfast.

Plussat: Very friendly hotel staff, nice hotel, excelent breakfast. It was our honeymoon and they surprised us with bootle of sparkling wine in ice and lovely decoration :) I would recommend this hotel to our family and friends.

Miinukset: Hotel maids didn't respect 'do not disturb sign' hanging on the door handle and entered the room while we're resting.

Plussat: The price we found was really good for the room: an entire apartment with kitchen and terrace with a view. The breakfast was really nice with many vegetarian option and soy milk <3, not so easy to find as an option on the island. The staff was really nice and helpful. A big pro: it is a family hotel - at least was full of kids, also some of them screaming in the corridor next to our room BUT the noise isolation of our room was great. We heard nothing! That is a great thing. The hotel has many facilities included in the price, unfortunately we did not use them because of a matter of time but totally great for the price.

Miinukset: WiFi needs to be improved, it works on-off. The hotel looks a bit old-fashioned but rooms are clean and spacious so no way to complain about it..
