Ponta Delgada (Açores) hotellia

Plussat: Out of the Blue completely exceeded all expectations I had going into my stay. First, I was expecting a lot more beds in the dorm I was in, but there were only four beds that were bunked, making it a more private space. The entire hostel is CLEAN. The staff area always keeping the spaces neat and tidy. There are enough shared bathrooms for those dorming. I never had a problem with trying to use a bathroom when I needed it. The common area and kitchen were spacious and had all appliances needed. The garden was a great plus, which also had a fire pit, decent-sized swimming pool, hammocks, and big sitting area for breakfast/dinners. I highly recommend going to breakfast and signing up for at least one of the family dinner nights (between 15-30 Euros depending on the theme). Breakfast is a combination of self-service and being served. Hot breakfast items will be automatically served to you as soon as you sit down, which usually consists of pancakes + another item. You also have the option to have bread, yogurt, and fruit. The family dinners have a theme each night and they are delicious! Also a great way to socialize with other travelers as well as staff. There were other events/outings that could be scheduled with the hostel, but I did not take advantage of them since I had a rental car. The staff was amazing. Very welcoming, friendly, and provided great tips/suggestions for visiting the island. The location is really close to the City Gates and an easy less than 5 minute walk to the center as well as to the marina area. Parking can somewhat be annoying because not every street is free. It might have been my timing, but I never found an issue with parking on the street the hostel is on. Ask the staff and they will also provide the location of other nearby streets that are free to park. I had such a good time and if I ever go back to Ponta Delgada, Out of the Blue is where I will stay for sure.

Miinukset: Bathrooms: slightly larger counter space to be able to set down hygiene products when using bathrooms, more towel racks across all bathrooms. Beds: there are no side barriers on the bunk beds, but was not a huge issue because I created my own barrier with my towel.

Plussat: The breakfast is extraordinary and the staff is very friendly and always ready to help. The dinner parties are nice as well. Better than most of the restaurants in town plus you get to know the staff and the other guests.

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 energy, the interior, the options

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location, very kind stuff - will help you with everything also will give you great advice to go around the island, everything is very clean, delicious and very special Breakfast, I love it and I Will Tell everyone who will visit Azores to go to this hostel. Thank you, stay awesome

Plussat: I kid you not, this is literally the best hostel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. I don't typically enjoy my hostel experiences and I usually just stay at them to save money, but this hostel is incredible. They serve you amazing home-cooked breakfast every morning (their delicious pancake recipe with different fresh fruit on them every day, their secret yogurt recipe with great granola, fresh bread, fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice, and then sometimes an additional dish with eggs of some sort.) I have also never stayed at such a CLEAN hostel or a hostel with such COMFORTABLE beds and a hostel I actually want to shower at. This should honestly be considered a hotel in you aren't staying in their dorm rooms. I stayed in their dorm rooms and it was still a better experience than I've had at some hotels. The staff is so amazing and so friendly! Everyone is from all over the world so it's really interesting to socialize with them. They also organize tours Monday-Friday specifically for their guests and they have a rotating dinner menu each day of the week that they offer for 15 euros (You will not regret going to their dinners. Their food was better than a lot of the restaurants I tried on the island). The cleaning ladies also deserve an award. They clean your rooms every day, remake the beds, constantly clean the bathrooms and are just all-around exceptional workers. Bravo to this hostel, the owners, the cleaning ladies, the rest of the staff and everything about this place! I will definitely be recommending this place and staying here if I ever come back to the island. The location is also very central in the city and a short walk to everything you would want to see in Ponta Delgada

Plussat: The mood of the hostel is welcoming and friendly, most fellow guests smiled back and the hostel promoted community well.

Plussat: Everything from the start (warm welcoming !) to the end (very early breakfast !). The bedroom was perfect !

Plussat: Staff was great, some variety for the breakfast buffet and location in the city.

Miinukset: The room did not have a closet or bath tub.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No attendance to temperature control that kept saying " internal filters require cleaning". Also general cleaning of the rooms was careless.

Plussat: Vanessa and her mother were just amazing. So kind. Nothing too much trouble. Beach towels and bikes available and washing done for us too! Incredible value for money and we would absolutely recommend Casa da Ilha. The room was delightful and ambiance made it feel like a family home. We are really impressed. They even made a special effort as it was our wedding anniversary. Thank you!

Miinukset: There are road works as the parking is being improved so understandable. It does affect the wi fi, apparently, but not a problem for us and it will make a difference to the accommodation, so ....all good.

Plussat: Everything. :) It was the best place in the whole island where we’ve stayed!

Plussat: The room was airy, light and spacious - simple but with a few nice touches such as treats left in our room. Cleaning was excellent and the hotel even offers a laundry service. The check-in staff was friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Wonderful experience, clean and comfy. So nice!

Plussat: The owner and staff were immensely friendly, welcoming, and available. We really appreciated their help and suggestions!

Plussat: The rooms are very spacious and clean. The owner and Annabella are amazingly friendly it makes you feel very welcome. We loved our second time stay as much as the first time. We love the room with the garden. Great for eating your own cooking that you can make in the shared kitchen.

Plussat: Location was good, with a nice sea view. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Owners/staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Roadworks outside the property (couldn't be helped).

Plussat: Location was very good, the owner was very friendly and gave us precious tips. Easy parking, helpful, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Dishwasher would be good since there is a shared kitchen.

Miinukset: The location is a 15 minute walk to the centre but they have bikes that you can use.

Plussat: The rooms were immaculate and there was air conditioning. I also liked having a kitchen to store and prepare my food!

Miinukset: It was great, liked it all.

Plussat: We had a super nice stay in the Procyon hostel. We stayed in a mixed dorm in super comfortable beds. The breakfast was amazing. We loved the variety of bread, jam, fruits & cereals. Every other day they offered scrambled eggs or pancakes. The staff was simply amazing and welcomed us warmly. They did our laundry and lent us additional towels for the hot springs. The kitchen was perfectly equipped. Parking is free in the area around Procyon. The hostel is super stylish and seems to be very new. Thank you for a nice week at your place.

Miinukset: Only the WIFI in the dorms could be better. But it worked perfectly downstairs.

Plussat: The staff is awesome. Super nice and always ready to help you in everything you need and more. The facilities are great and the breakfast is very good quality. Highly recommended!

Plussat: Atmosphere and staff were excellent. It's a nice, clean place on walking distance from the city centre.

Miinukset: The only 'bad' part is that the room gets very hot at night.

Plussat: So quid and cozy encluding the receptionist Bruna

Plussat: Very cozy hostel. Feels like home. Staff is very friendly and they keep the place super clean as well. They organize occasionally some group activities which you can join.

Plussat: When I was looking a place to stay, I read reviews that this is a very calm and friendly place to stay and chill, no noisy parties or drunken students and that’s exactly what I got. The interior is amazing, staff is super friendly and great amenities. And the breakfast, Ouh my, were they wonderful. Definitely a great value for the money, I highly recommend this place

Miinukset: Humidity is high so it was hard to dry the clothes (mind though that there is dryer available for a small fee), but that is an issue of being on an island and it is autumn and nothing to do with the hotel itself :)

Plussat: The entire property is historical, yet extremely well kept and updated! It has small quirks that make it unique (such as it's common areas, living room, and outdoor patio). The staff & owner are absolutely amazing! do yourself a favor and ask them what they recommend - you won't be disappointed.

Plussat: Comfortable, clean space. The staff were incredibly helpful.

Plussat: Very comfortable beds and extremely helpful staff!

Plussat: Breakfast and staff were great.

Miinukset: Was a bit hard to find. Google pinpointed it at a location a bit further away.

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

Plussat: Marguerite and her team provided us a wonderful experience, even when our arrival was delayed and we missed breakfast. Much to our surprise, a hearty travelers breakfast appeared. Marguerite assisted us with restaurants/ reservations. They really do know the island. Breakfast was the highlight of the day with a superb assortment of items. We loved speaking with the other guests each morning and so enjoyed the ability to make a cup of tea in the gracious living rooms, at other times. The Quinta is a European style guest hotel, located on the outskirts of town, but close enough to everything. Guests should know there are stairs between the levels, but is possible to move between areas by car. Our visit was in Oct.

Miinukset: Improvements to this wonderful place could be : luggage racks for the rooms and maybe a comfy chair

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: The house, the staff, the breakfast, comfy bed

Miinukset: Not close to town or restaurants. Rooms in building with breakfast room can be noisy.

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: This is a beautiful place to relax and rest. extremely friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is excellent.

Miinukset: nothing. all was perfect

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: The staff were exceptionally helpful, especially with Restauraunt suggestions and day planning - all this in English as our Portuguese was almost non-existent. The older building is beautifully adapted to its current function. We were there very early in the season -first week in April and almost the only guests - yet we were treated to a lavish feast of a breakfast which changed daily.

Miinukset: Thankfully, our bedroom had a separate, very quiet convection heater as the building was not using its central heating unit; thus the bathroom was quite cool - and humid - making it difficult to dry washed clothing, - and cold’ish to shower in.

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: Property was nice. Staff was wonderful. The owner is very welcoming and helps you with whatever you need. Laundry machine was free to use. Towels were provided. Lockers were also given.

Plussat: Amazing and friendly host, clean and spacious room. Lovely terrace that is great for socializing and relaxing in the morning and evening.

Plussat: Perfect stay in a really beautiful house, superfriendly staff, very clean, nice rooms, lovely terrace, good location

Plussat: Perfect place to stay. Very clean, quiet, easy to get everywhere. Everything you need just there. Very nice owner

Plussat: I only have great things to say about our stay here. The place feels like you are renting a warm, authentic Ponta Delgada apartment. We loved the upstairs patio area to relax in/have a glass of wine after a long day of exploring. The owner is incredibly welcoming and helpful-he treats his guests like family which is awesome. Location is close to lots of restaurants and the downtown area. Loved the beautiful artwork in the house. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the hospitality and great stay.

Plussat: Owner very helpful, knowledgable about advice of what to see on the island. Lovely roof terrace, nice and quiet and very clean.

Miinukset: The bedroom was a little hot in the evening, there was a fan on the floor that wouldnt reach any breeze to the top bunk.

Plussat: Very good

Plussat: Pedro is an ideal host, really careful about his guests. His place is charming and peaceful, we felt like at home.

Plussat: Cozy room, nice facilities (I really liked the bathroom and wooden floor everywhere), spacious terrace. Pedro was very welcoming, waited for us as our flight was delayed and gave us some good tips on where to eat around the island, what to do, where to park (as the parking in front of the Guest house is paid during the day time).

Plussat: I stayed 3 nights in a twin room. The bed was comfy, big locker in a wardrobe with few drawers inside, a fan, 1 chair, good wifi. Toilet downstairs, nice and clean, good shower with hot water. Kitchen next to the bathroom, very nice breakfast included available all day, washing machine to use for free, nice terrace too. The guy who checked me in was nice, provided maps and information about local transport. I was expecting a letter, which he said he would collect for me. The property was clean and the kitchen had nice, homey atmosphere. Parking outside the property is not free, but there is free car park about 5 min walk. Close to promenade and about 40-50 min walk to the airport.

Miinukset: - the door locks were a bit old and noisy when opening/closing the door, so difficult not to wake up the other person in room - Mosquitos

Plussat: The owners were so kind and helpful. They really made us feel at home during our stay. They were also extremely helpful after our stay - they provided recommendations and maps for other parts of Portugal that we planned to visit and put us in contact with individuals to help with some questions that we had.

Plussat: Very welcoming and friendly place. Beautiful traditional rooms and delicious breakfast. Lovely experience and would certainly come back!

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: We liked everything. Jose and family couldn't do enough for their guests. Lots of helpful local advice. Booked our car for us. Relaxed breakfast times so no need for alarms. Delicious and varied food at breakfast. Beautifully decorated rooms. The local area, in fact the whole island felt clean and safe and is so easy to drive around.

Miinukset: We didn't like leaving.

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: 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: Historic,chic,artistic atmosphere ,wonderful personal hospitality

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: Fine breakfast, very delicious dinner. Friendly, helpful hosts. Thank you Eduarda and Jose!

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Bed was a bit firm

Miinukset: The restaurant of the hotel is not good.

Miinukset: Perfect location! We loved it! Beautiful inside and out, staff is awesome! Thank you!

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: Spacious room, good bathroom. Late check in 2am

Miinukset: Breakfast was rather poor, buffet partly empty, no plates, etc. Bathroom with lots of hair on the floor. Construction work just outside the room on Sat morning at 8am.

Plussat: Room sizes, new installations and accommodation. Very friendly and helpful staff with excellent location in Ponta Delgada

Miinukset: Breakfast could be improved. More options would be nice to have. It wasn't bad but could be more complete.

Plussat: Great location, close to restaurants, museums, the port, and many churches to visit in Ponta Delgada. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

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: Spotlessly clean. Well maintained. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Construction work going on next to our room starting at 8:30 AM. Pillows seem ripe for replacement.

Plussat: Sijainti ehdottoman hyvä.

Miinukset: Avainkortti huoneen oveen vaati hiukan kikkailua.

Plussat: Very good central location and staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

Plussat: Super comfortable bed. Air conditioner. Hairdryer. Great location in city center. Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Basic breakfast.

Plussat: The pool was nice, breakfast was good with a lot of choice. Location is great, right in the centre. Staff is very friendly. Nice terrace.

Miinukset: The rooms are not very modern looking. The steam room was alright, but do not expect too much.

Plussat: Great location and nice room and facilities. Balcony view from upper floors is beautiful. Breakfast was good, not super-amazing though.

Miinukset: Ironing in room is not allowed, which is a bit weird.

Plussat: The receptionists were so helpful and made reservations for our dinner, and taxi services. The place is so beautiful! state of the art!

Plussat: Very good swimming pool, friendly staff

Miinukset: Slippers and a bathrobe were not provided which is not acceptable, considering the price of my room! A kettle should also be in the room.

Plussat: Loved the out door bar, the musicians, the lobby, the sea view from our balcony and the professionalism of staff. The pool and sauna were a bonus.

Miinukset: We never got a parking card and had to check in at the front desk every time we needed to drive.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.

Miinukset: Need softer pillows!

Plussat: Wonderful location, lots of restaurants & tour companies nearby. Great sea view from the balcony. Friendly service, great & helpful staff.

Miinukset: No coffee or tea making facilities in rooms. Bathrooms are clean but could do with a renovation (doors stick, shower was narrow and a bit short for me.) Breakfast was decent but somewhat limited (stayed for a week and only had bacon & scrambled eggs each morning as warm options.) Hotel restaurant was hit and miss.

Plussat: Everything was very good. We have to go to the airport very early, they give us travel box, because we couldn’t eat breakfast that day. We asked for brown bread, they can solve it. The bed was very comfortable, the room is very clean.

Plussat: This was our honeymoon trips the room was decorated and there was even a bottle a champagne in our room the first night! Claudia was a very helpful and nice at the check in desk. She also suggested places for us to visit during the day!

Plussat: very close to the marine. short ways. friendly and personal. nice view.

Plussat: This was a reservation for my parents wedding anniversary. They absolutely loved staying at this hotel. They were very well received and really loved the facilities. Also, they enjoyed very much the variety of food during breakfast time.

Plussat: The Breakfast was awesome. The gentleman who helped us put our bags away and called our cab for the airport. The beds were extremely comfortable.

Plussat: Pool and location were excellent! The rooms were spacious and the air conditioning worked well. The hotel was beautiful.

Miinukset: Would be great if they had full length mirrors in the hotel rooms.

Plussat: The friendly atmosphere of the hotel, the readiness of the staff to help us in any situation.

Miinukset: It is difficult to find anything. We stayed only for one day.

Plussat: The location is nice, just near the cathedral and the centre. The bed is very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The hosts are very friendly and helpful (Marcio was exceptionally helpful). The ambiance is amazing! Note: Please keep in mind that the streets are quite narrow, which means a challenging parking. The parking inside the hotel is another challenge (however, Marcio took care about it, many thanks to him).

Plussat: The room was a decent size, the housekeeping staff and Gonçalo in the bar were lovely, great location

Miinukset: The main issue was the horrendous attitude of the reception staff. Total disinterest in us or our comfort. Didn’t show us where main sights were, didn’t ask us what activities we might be interested in, didn’t suggest restaurants or day trips. Never looked up when we came in. Rooms didn’t have towel rails, or tea and coffee making facilities, the whole hotel didn’t own an iron (unbelievable - when we queried this they just thrust a laundry list at us saying we had to pay), and most annoying no safe in the room which was incredibly inconvenient and the reception staff didn’t even seem to know the room didn’t have this. Their solution was to offer us old used envelopes to put valuables in and leave them at reception. This hotel isn’t good enough for 3 stars let alone 4 and I’d never stay here again. Apart from the aforementioned staff, their attitude is terrible.

Plussat: Very nice, convenient location, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing I could think of

Plussat: Great central location, very interesting lobby, good restaurant attached, good looking pool in the courtyard, rooms are not huge but quite comfortable, good shower, pretty decent breakfast buffet, the whole place really leans into the fact that it used to be a school which is cute

Miinukset: A LOT of street noise, no towel hooks in bathroom, no view to speak of, apparently guests can smoke by the pool which is gross

Plussat: The property was in a great location, very nice, large rooms and bathroom, good breakfast, and the staff was very helpful.

Miinukset: The garage was extremely difficult to park in, but we managed to always find a place to park on the street. It was hard to load and unload luggage at the hotel's door.

Plussat: The staff were so helpful and friendly. The location was close to everything in the city within walking distance. Very nice breakfast daily.

Plussat: No parking unless one asks each day and difficult to stop the car on that street to ask at him hotel, so we parked elsewhere. The restaurant food is overpriced for quality, which was lacking and we didn’t go back for a second time. There could be more amenities, such as soap and toilet paper were not refilled unless asked for.

Miinukset: The location but if not renting a car. The room space was fine and comfortable.

Plussat: Charming building , nice and helpful front desk staff and central location

Miinukset: Hall carpets are stained

Plussat: Very good service

Plussat: Wonderful location in beautiful landscape. The Appartement and hotel had everything we needed. Full recomandation! :)

Plussat: We stayed 3 nights at ANC Resort and we had a very good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean and the view from the balcony was great. Tennis and pool for free and not at all crowded. Reasonable equipped kitchen - we were able to cook our own food.

Miinukset: In our taste the beds were a bit too hard and every time you turned around at night they made a lot of noise. We slept four people in the apartment so you woke up a couple of times during each night. But all in all we had a very pleasant and good stay at ANC.

Plussat: Location. Amazing view of the room. Swim pool above the sea.

Plussat: Peaceful, silence. Swimmingpool

Miinukset: The bed

Plussat: The front desk staff - Anton I believe is the spelling - - was incredibly helpful with directions, suggesting restaurants, and making our reservations for 8 people. We were provided with a map on our arrival with suggestions for seeing the island from the manager. Our group called it "the treasure map" since it guided our plans for our visit. We had 4 rooms (group of 8)and one of the rooms had an air conditioning issue that wasn't able to be fixed (one of night of warmth) so they moved my nephews to a new room with working a/c.

Miinukset: This is NOT the ANC's fault but our group didn't budget enough time to relax by the beautiful pool!

Plussat: Nice place, quite area, beatiful view, room location,

Miinukset: Room was cleaned every day by cleaning lady, changing towels, but the floor in the room looked untouched. The same for the balcony, otherwise okay

Plussat: The vista was beautiful the staff at the front desk very friendly, the place was impeccably clean.

Miinukset: The beds are very firm, would have liked a few more toiletries. Breakfast is a bit pricy. Would have appreciated a bit of guidance as to where to go for food, dinners etc.,

Plussat: The view was very nice. The room had a fridge and cooking facilities. The bed was very big. Ample car parking with large spaces.

Miinukset: There was a problem with ants and other insects in the room. There was a dirty, stained mug in the kitchen. The air conditioning was a little weak. The service at the restaurant was very slow - it took us about 2.5 hours to have a 2. Course meal

Plussat: Wonderful, relaxing view with excellent amenities

Plussat: Quiet, nice team and very good breakfast !

Plussat: Nice room, clean, great cheese at the breakfast, friendly reception, ...

Miinukset: The parking was terrible. No space in the evening because everybody went to the gym

Plussat: It was a pleasure to stay here: 10 min from the airport, good breakfast, city market is 5 min walk.

Plussat: The location is perfect, breakfast was a dream and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Miinukset: It's super nice that the gym is included with no extra fees, although it's a public gym, therefore mostly cramped with people and the equipment would need an upgrade.

Plussat: Great breakfast!

Miinukset: Only Bar on site - restaurant closed except for breakfasts

Plussat: The staff the pool and the view

Miinukset: I had no balcony.

Miinukset: The parking had not places for all clients and the entrance by car was not very easy.

Plussat: Room service

Miinukset: Sauna swimming poll and bath

Plussat: Breakfast was good Clean rooms Nice views Friendly staff They have alot of facilities

Miinukset: Breakfast is same every day (we stayed 10 days so after that, it gets pretty much boring). Even though they have a lot of facilities, it sucks when they are out of service (like the Jacuzzi).

Plussat: The room was large and comfortable

Miinukset: My stay was too brief to comment

Plussat: We stayed in an Executive Suite room 401. There were two bathrooms with showers and one had a bath as well. There was a small balcony with a view of the sea. We used the hotel restaurant several times for an evening meal - the buffet meals were very good. Breakfast was also good. On our arrival a bottle of wine and cheese selection was brought to our room free of charge. Two days later it was my birthday and I put my birthday cards on display. In the afternoon a large chocolate cake with candle was brought to our room - totally unexpected. There was a very good selection of TV programs many in English with Portuguese subtitles.

Miinukset: The balcony was very narrow and 4 floors from the ground. There were two big chairs and a table to manoeuver around. My wife does not like heights so was unable to use the balcony.

Plussat: The hotel was very good, clean, tastefully decorated. The staff was very helpful and kind. Large room and a fabulous breakfast! Less than 10 minutes from the airport.

Plussat: Sijainti lähellä keskustaa. Parkkihalli oli hyvä olemassa, vaikka olikin maksullinen, kadulta olisi ollut vaikea löytää parkkipaikkaa läheltä.

Miinukset: Ikkunat voisi joskus pestä.

Miinukset: Beds were ok..i found them too hard, pillows not so comfy either, breakfast was very fresh each morning, maybe a little more variety and it was difficult to find table settings.

Plussat: Modernity and gardens

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff was polite and welcoming.

Miinukset: The room was not ready and our luggage had been lost, so we needed clothing, etc. The staff did not give us clear directions to the mall and what should have taken less than ten minutes took over an hour. Specifically, directions were given to turn the wrong way on one-way roads.

Plussat: Pool, special massage deal at the spa, breakfast buffet

Miinukset: Confusing - not clearly marked where pool tools are and indoor pool amd ladies changing room ... all far or rather further down the lawn from the outdoor pool. Just odd design bit otherwise it was ok. Normally don’t stay at ‘fancier’ places but did this time for another reason... and am reminded why i don’t normally stay at such ... many older folks enjoying their stay with significant other, family or groups... not the place for this single solo traveler

Plussat: The hotel is 15 years old BUT... it got a facelift and looks VERY NICE now!! Wonderful lobby and bar, very colourful and beautiful public areas!! The theme of this hotel is ASIA. I like it a lot! My room 465 was very spacious, tastefully furnished. Breakfast is very abundant.

Miinukset: The location is not really nice. No sea view. Just (in part ugly) houses around. Carpets on the floors and in my room were dirty with a LOT of spots! Really need to be replaced! Bathrooms are pretty old, my shower was broken. The airport is close, airplanes really fly over the roof of the hotel = noise!! Especially at 6 in the morning there are 4 aircraft that wake you up.

Plussat: Good location, nice breakfast included, very clean and modern design. Loved the garden, swimming pools and palms. Welcoming atmosphere.

Plussat: A great location, comfortable rooms, big bed, a beautiful views of the garden, the car rental nearby.

Plussat: location great. breakfast was good. room - we got a suite- fantastic. recommend anyone to get a suite.

Miinukset: i was very happy with my stay

Plussat: Location is really very good. Just in Ponta Delgada city center. Good choice of products for a breakfest. Superb view from the top of the building. If you like to make a great sunrise picture over Ponta Delgada, the Talisman's roof is the best place to do so.

Miinukset: Inadequate price for the accomodation. Steps at the entrance and on the corridor which obstruct the way to the lift. This is especially unpleasant if you got a heavy luggages. No parking space for the hotel's guests. Took a while when I found a free, payable, parking few blocks away.

Plussat: This hotel is comfortable, the location is magnificent, the room is huge and very relaxing. A good and very complete breakfast.

Miinukset: The hotel is a little bit old fashioned.

Plussat: Nice hotel, excellent location, right in the middle of the town, lots of restaurants around. Good size and comfortable rooms, kind staff, helping in whatever we asked, including a breakfast box late in the evening, as we had to leave too early.

Miinukset: The room opened to the - otherwise very nice square, which was very noisy due to lots of traffic, so not a splended sleeping....

Plussat: Nice and quiet area, no cars passing. Good restaurant and good breakfast buffet with a lot of choice. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: No view from our room(219). Fixed Shower head was to low for us( tall people).

Plussat: Breakfast was very nice. Rooftop pool was decent with a basic little exercise set up. AC worked well

Miinukset: We had two single beds pushed together rather than a double

Plussat: Tilava huone kylpyammeella. Ystävällinen henkilökunta, hyvä ravintola ja baari hotellin yhteydessä. Uima-allas ja auringonottotuoleja sekä ok kuntosali katolla.

Miinukset: Hissi ei toiminut ensimmäisenä päivänä mutta oli korjattu luvatusti seuraava aamuna.

Plussat: Room and location was great. AC was broken and there was not enough power outlets in the room. We were given a basket of fruit in our last night as a sorry for the broken AC, i thought that was pretty cool. We left for the airport before breakfast, the staff prepared us a breakfast to go the night before. Thumbs up for that. Will definitely stay here again when i come back to Ponta Delgada.

Miinukset: Broken power outlet and broken AC

Plussat: Very clean and confortable room with a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was really good, with wide range of food. Stuff was graat. We had very early check out so they prepared us breakfast for take away.

Plussat: The staff was great, special thank to Wilson for booking a guided tour with very short notice. Very nice experience, the style of the hotel is what make me book it. There is a rooftop pool. Room was spacious and clean. Good water pressure in the shower. Plenty of TV channels (in Portuguese mostly but TV series and movies are in orginal version with subtitles, few channels, mostly news, in French, German, Russian, Spanish). Nice breakfast with the usual eggs, bacon, veggies, yogurt, cereals, breads, croissants, jam, melted chocolate and homemade waffles. I didn't try the restaurant. Great location, there is a nice little square next to it, walking distance to the fort, seafront, botanical garden, Portas da Cidade. Plenty of restaurants and ice cream shops nearby.

Miinukset: Everything was great - Thank You Hotel Talisman.

Plussat: Good selection at breakfast. Very helpful staff. Quiet location, but close to everything.

Miinukset: Restaurant just okay for dinner.

Miinukset: The location of the hotel is great for walking almost anywhere in town. The balcony is nice and the staff were great. The only thing I didn't like was the cutting back on the air conditioning at night. During the evening hours the A/C seemed to throttle back and you needed to keep the windows open for cooling ventilation. Breakfast was nice each morning and the bar in the evening was great.

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Good location. Convenient parking. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Air conditioning worked inconsistently.

Plussat: Fantastic great value really clean has everything you need

Plussat: Had an early breakfast to make a flight. Close to airport.

Miinukset: Long walk to harbor. Poor communication when we first arrived and delay for getting to room. No attendant when leaving luggage or even a locked room. Poor pillows and lack of choices or quality of food.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nice pool area, comfortable rooms

Miinukset: The decor is pretty retro - could do with being touched up but no complaints regarding cleanliness etc

Plussat: Ylimmän kerroksen huone oli hienolla näköalalla. Koko parvekkeen levyinen ikkuna ja leveä lasinen liukuovi tekivät huoneesta valoisan ja tilavan tuntuisen (ja tilava se toki oli muutenkin). Sängyt olivat erittäin hyvät. Ilmainen vesipullo odotti tullessa pöydällä.

Miinukset: Kokolattiamatto ei ole enää nykypäivää (vaikka sinänsä siisti olikin). Suihkussa veden lämpötilansäätö oli hankalaa. Parkkialueelta oli ajoittain hankala löytää vapaata paikkaa, koska hotelliasiakaiden lisäksi myös paikalliset näyttivät parkkeeraavan samalle parkkialueelle.

Plussat: Easy walk into city center and quiet location.

Plussat: Location was fantastic. Free parking was great. Easy to walk to everything.

Miinukset: Breakfast needs more variety and fresh coffee instead of coffee from a machine. Pool should stay open later.

Plussat: Stayed her 1 night on way to airport it served its purpose. Rooms were basic. Great pool

Plussat: Great hotel with friendly helpful staff! Also about 15 minutes walk from the centre so a great location to stay in.

Plussat: Location, good breakfast

Plussat: Location- very close to the centre Quiet, comfortable bed, air conditioning. Parking available late check in.

Miinukset: Breakfast is very basic, not a lot of choice. But the things they offered were alright.

Plussat: Excellent location, very friendly staff specially Sandra who helped us checked in and gave directions to places we need to go.

Miinukset: Same breakfast during the entire stay which got boring after so many days.

Plussat: Ihan hyvä perusaamiainen ja hyvä rauhallinen huone, jossa oli riittävästi tilaa. Oli hyvin aikainen lähtö lentokentälle ja henkilökunta järjesti minulle siihen aamiaisen (paitsi paistettavat tuotteet).

Miinukset: Ei mitään

Plussat: It was our second time staying at comfort inn and when and if I come again I’ll I’ll be staying here again it’s also close to everything

Miinukset: Everything was awesome

Plussat: The room was big and clean. The location is good.

Miinukset: The staff was friendly, but it was not a warm welcome. Just a simple check in and that was it. The aircon makes noise, so you can't sleep with it on.

Plussat: Staff is friendly

Miinukset: I had to change romm after I tried to take shower the shower hose broke hot my back and I got a bruise. Had to change the room.

Plussat: Great location with parking available

Miinukset: No coffee in rooms

Plussat: Large room and bathroom

Miinukset: We got a room on the ground floor, directly facing a street. We could not open the curtains at all because people could directly see inside our room. One day even a car parked in front of our window! How is it possible to offer such a room?! The cooling system was quite noisy. Before taking a warm shower we had to let the water flow for around 10 min because the water didn’t get warm quickly.

Plussat: It’s was a very clean and comfortable room , staff very friendly and receptionist very helpful

Miinukset: That there was no tea/ coffee making facilities

Plussat: THIS HOTEL IS MALL AND HAS AN INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE AND HAS A HELPFUL AND ATTENTIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING STAFF. IT HAS A GOOD CENTRAL PONTA DELGADA LOCATION PROVIDING EASY WALKING ACCESS TO CITY LOCATIONS . THE HOTEL IS SMALL AND COMFORTABLE AND HAS A WHOLESOME BREAKFAST BUFFET SELECTION THIS HOTEL IS GEOGRAPHICALLY WELL PLACED IN THE OLD PART OF TOWN IN A NARROW SIDE STREET AND PROVIDES AN OVERALL VERY PLEASANT STAY AND REPRESENTS GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.

Miinukset: INITIALLY WE WERE ASSIGNED TO AN INSIDE COURTYARD ROOM OVERLOOKING THE ELEVATOR SHAFT. THIS ROOM WAS POOR AND IN A STATE OF RELATIVE DISREPAIR WITH DAMP PEELING WALLS AND A BROKEN LAMP. UPON REQUEST WE WERE THEN RELOCATED TO AN OUTSIDE ROOM AT THE REAR OF THE HOTEL THAT PROVIDED AN INTERESTING CITY ROOF TOP VIEW AND WAS AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. THIS ROOM WAS IN A BETTER STATE OF REPAIR AND PROVED TO BE COSY AND PERFECTLY ADEQUATE. HOTEL WI FI INTERNET COVERAGE WAS AVAILABLE BUT OFTEN INTERMITTENT AND WITH LIMITED SIGNAL STRENGTH IN ROOMS BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. HOT FOOD CONSISTING OF EGGS AND BACON AT THE BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS NOT HEATED AND WAS THEREFORE COLD SHORTLY AFTER THE 0730 BREAKFAST START..

Plussat: The room was clean and nice, and the location was very nice. and central .

Miinukset: There was not much variety on breakfast. A baked cake would be nice to see.

Plussat: Nice beach

Miinukset: Nice place
