Hotellit lähellä Ponta Delgada (Açores) Nordela

Plussat: From the second I arrived, the staff was just incredibly friendly and I knew that this was going to be an amazing trip. Little did I know this would become one of my best stays at not only a hostel, but in general! The breakfast is better than most restaurants, the family dinners are delicious, the staff is just so warm and welcoming, the tours are fantastic and can be altered to suit the island's unpredictable weather. In addition to Out of the Blue having great facilities, I have to also mention that this hostel attracts an awesome group of people because all the fellow guests I met during my stay were so fun, open-minded and genuinely great people. I would 100% recommend and hope I can return again in the future!

Plussat: Property was beautiful with an amazing garden! The staff was also so friendly and recommended great places to eat.

Miinukset: It would have been nice to have a more prominent sign out front as we couldn’t tell if we had arrived or not. Otherwise it was amazing!

Plussat: Staff extremely friendly! Didn't realise it was a hostel but was a great surprise. Made some good friends! They have a day time tour activity and dinner at the hostel for a very affordable price. Would definitely recommend and come back here! Breakfast was amazing and the garden is super peaceful :D

Plussat: The hostel is very well organized, the atmosphere is great and it is located close to the center. They offer dinners and guided tours at the hostel (hiking tours with Lidia are highly recommend!) which is a great way to meet nice people. The breakfast in the garden is outstanding, as well as the staff! Thanks to everyone who made my stay unforgettable.

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

Plussat: The staff is amazing, the hospitality and kindness they give you is utmost sincere. They really made me feel at ease, they're one by one interesting persons who found their way to the island and love it even more than you're going to do when you'll visit. If you're not into socialising, that's cool too. The talks, the food, the drinks the company.. Better than I could've imagined. I was going to stay 2 nights but ended up staying 5. I'll return someday, even if it's just for the incredible pancakes and coffee. Hopefully you're all doing fine during these crazy times. Thanks again.

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: My friend and I stayed at Out of the Blue for three days and we had the absolute best experience. When we first checked in, Andre welcomed us warmly and gave us a thorough tour of the property. Our room was clean, spacious and beautifully designed (we had a room with a private bathroom). The shared kitchen was organized and inviting, with labels and baskets provided for guests to organize their own food and drinks. There was even a lounge area attached with plenty of seating and a television. Every morning we had a delicious breakfast in the gardens of the property with pancakes, yogurt and granola, coffee, tea and fresh juice. Plus they have their own chefs who prepare a special dish each morning in addition to everything I just listed. They are beyond hospitable and clear your plates and cutlery after each meal. We felt like we were royalty. Breakfast was included in the room rate. Lunch and dinner are also provided at the accommodation for an additional charge. 5€ for lunch and 12€ for dinner (with the exception being Friday dinners costing 15€; you get to build your own pizzas). Each meal is served with wine or sangria. It is a lovely gathering where the staff and guests have an opportunity to socialize. The outdoor grounds are gorgeous! There is a small pool and sun bathing area, a hammock and lounge chairs, a fire pit and lots more. We highly recommend this accommodation as it is unlike any we’ve ever experienced. They treat you like family and we can’t wait to return!

Plussat: Breakfast was super delicious, and the garden was amazing to relax in!

Plussat: I specially want to say it is the excellent service of this hotel, also good position and nice price!

Plussat: This stay dramatically exceeded our expectations. Our room was luxurious and had a beautiful view, the furnishing was very modern, and the room service every day was very thorough. Everything was spotless. The bar and restaurant are excellent, the buffet breakfast being a highlight, and the pool area is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The staff bent over backwards for our every need, and are a credit to the hotel. We hope to stay again in the future - especially as the value for money was incredible.

Miinukset: Our only complaint, which is small, was that there was a lack of variety of vegetarian dishes for dinner. But this was a problem we found across the island. The food we did have in the restaurant though, vegetarian and meat, was absolutely incredible and the restaurant experience overall was excellent.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nice updated rooms.

Miinukset: Gym equipment very outdated, as was the pool. Breakfast mediocre.

Plussat: Everything! Best hotel I stayed in the Azores. The staff, the breakfast, the view, the decor, the pillows, the room service.

Miinukset: The shower pressure was a bit weak but it didn’t bother me.

Plussat: Great price/value, nice breakfast and ambiente

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Was all excellent, really excellent

Plussat: Everything and everyone were so welcoming and professional!

Plussat: The rooms were super comfortable and well appointed. Every staff member we dealt with bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable and help us have a great vacation. Everyone from the concierge staff to the bellmen gave us information and advice on things to do and were great with our kids. We are planning our trip back already!

Miinukset: The one thing that I can think of is the lack of true closet space but that may not be true of all the guest rooms.

Plussat: Accibility to most sites

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: The owners are super hosts! They gave us lots of good suggestions and ideas. Staff was very kind and available for all our requests. The hostel is cosy and feels like home. Breakfast was great and full of regional products! If you look for a nice and peaceful stay this is definitely the place. Handmade souvenirs are also available! Hostel interior design is a plus!

Miinukset: We loved it all!

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: Our stay at Procyon was just great. The whole team was so nice and caring. Breakfast was great with additional different regional surprises (local cheese, bread, cake) everyday. The rooms were super clean and chic. Best thing was that we got really good recommendations and tips everyday in the morning regarding the actual weather and webcams to go to the places with the best weather. Everything was really perfect. Stay there!!! :)

Plussat: Really cute place :))

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

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: The location was great - we could walk, bike, or drive everywhere we needed to go. The private room had everything we needed, and the breakfast was varied and delicious. Every inch of the hostel was spotlessly clean and very orderly, but in a comfortable and relaxed way. Our hosts were so very welcoming and friendly, helpful and kind. We appreciated all the services and information they offered to make our stay completely delightful.

Miinukset: Everything about our stay at Procyon was perfect!

Plussat: So quid and cozy encluding the receptionist Bruna

Plussat: Very cute and clean apartment in walking distance to the town center. The best part was the amazing patio from which you can see beautiful sunsets.

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: Excellent location. 10 minutes drive from Ponta Delgada Airport. Very central, near the main high street. Professional staff. Quick check in and check out. Excellent Breakfast.

Miinukset: The noise coming from the restaurant below.

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: 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: Great central location with lots of shops and restaurants nearby Excellent value for money Very friendly and helpful staff, morning and night Good breakfast selection included with the room Comfortable, clean and spacious rooms

Miinukset: I stayed in two different rooms and in the first one, the air conditioning did not work and even though it was cool outside, the room was warm and humid Rooms are basic and do not have a fridge Walls are thin so I could hear other guests walking around & opening/closing door

Plussat: Very friendly staff, spacious room,nice balcony, great restaurant, good piece of advice with renting of cars

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The staff were very helpful. We had a very early flight out, well before breakfast, and they provided coffee, juice, bread and yogurt that was most appreciated. We would most definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Sijainti ehdottoman hyvä.

Miinukset: Avainkortti huoneen oveen vaati hiukan kikkailua.

Plussat: Were kind enough to provide 2nd night free

Miinukset: No glasses in room No air conditioning Noisey room over kitchen

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti oli erinomainen keskellä kaupungin keskustaa ja lähellä kaupunginporttia sekä merenrantaa. Huone oli hiljainen (sisäpihan puolella) ja siitä oli upea näköala kirkontornille. Huone oli kivasti väreillä sisustettu, siisti ja sänky oli todella mukava. Henkilökunta oli todella aidon ystävällistä ja avuliasta sekä respasta löytyi paljon eri opastoimistojen esitteitä. Hotellin yhteydessä olevan iltaravintolan ruoka oli hyvää-

Miinukset: Aamupalaa olisi voinut piristää erinomaiseksi pienillä yksityiskohdilla kuten munien paremmalla valmistuksella, kypsillä tomaattilohkoilla sekä laajemmalla valikoimalla upeita paikallisia juustoja... mutta kaiken kaikkiaan hinta-laatusuhde oli hyvä ja esillä oli erittäin monipuolisesti kaikenlaista makeasta suolaiseen ja huomioiden paikallisten herkkujen esillä olon. Respassa oltiin avuliaita, mutta kovin itsevarmoja tiedonantajia sillä seurauksella, että sain joitain vanhentuneita tietoja, jotka olisi voitu välttää sillä että henkilökunta tarkistaisi/päivittäisi tietojaan esim onko bussiaikataulut samat kesällä kuin talvella, ja mitä palveluita lentokentältä löytyy turvatarkastuksen jälkeen..

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, clean and well sized room, decent restaurant in the hotel, and very well located.

Miinukset: I wouldn't change anything

Plussat: We liked the size and character of the hotel. The location was excellent for visiting the town.

Plussat: Nice experience. Great location, quiet and decent room. Very helpful people.

Plussat: perfect price/quality, we were very happy with our choice. Although the hotel and rooms are old, they are perfectly maintained: everything works as it should. All the rooms have airco, and there is free internet service in the lounge. It's like staying at grandma's house, with all the comforts of a modern hotel.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Good TV in the lounge area. Relaxed atmosphere. My room was cool and quiet. The shower wored well.

Plussat: The position and the quiet; the kindness of the staff

Plussat: -Monipuolinen ja runsas aamiainen, yhteisissä tiloissa rauhallinen ilmapiiri, hotellin keskeinen sijainti, mukava henkilökunta, peruspalvelut tarjolla

Miinukset: -äänieristys käytävästä huoneisiin heikko, (huoneesta toiseen ok), huoneessa tunkkainen haju, jos ikkuna ei ollut auki

Plussat: Everything was good: the rooms, staff, restaurant, location. The price also was very good.

Plussat: Everything was perfect and the Staff were amazing.

Plussat: Perfect location, we had a car for a week and there was always parking space available nearby plus you could easily walk anywhere as it was in the city centre with all the restaurants, cafees... The staff was very nice and helpful, the hotel is very eco-friendly too and cares about the environment. Very nice and clean rooms, comfortable beds!

Miinukset: We stayed for a week and the breakfast was the same every day which was little bit repetitive but it was very tasty so it wasn't a problem after all :)

Plussat: Excellent stay

Miinukset: Located in walking to everything in the Centro of Ponta Delgada

Plussat: I like how beautiful and cozy this Hotel is, the service was outstanding a big hug to the staff who looked after me when I was late for dinner and always a smile which brightened my day this will be the place to stay for my next visit in the near future.

Miinukset: The shower head was a little broken it wasn’t working properly I hope you can check and fix it it’s in room 211, a very beautiful room by the way :)

Plussat: The breakfast was ok taking in account tht it was at 5:00 am

Miinukset: Get up so early to come back

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent. Comfy pillows and beds. Great location within walking distance of all the restaurants, Mercado, museums, cafes.

Miinukset: In room heating and air con was not the best.

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: Good location. Clean good size room, comfortable bed. Very helpful staff, secure storage for luggage after check out. Good breakfast.

Plussat: Perfect area, surrounded with historical buildings and the cultural of the people...we love this hotel and will use them for 2 nights stay in May of 2021 with my maid of honour and my bride mates....

Miinukset: Nothing they are wonderful

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: Location, staff, bed... Everything. The staff was so helpful and showed us everything we wanted to know and gave us towels for us to go to some specific places of the island. I recommend and I'll probably be back

Miinukset: Probably the variety of the breakfast but it was delicious!!

Plussat: Breakfast was limited for a vegetarian option, very basic . It would have been good if there are a kettel and iron in each bedroom.

Plussat: The staff was extremely helpful. Even gave us beach towels to take to the thermal springs. It was our wedding anniversary when we arrived and a bottle of champagne was delivered to our room. Over all experience was wonderful. Made if very easy to rent a car for the day.

Miinukset: Nothing we did not like.

Plussat: The location is good and it has a car park which is good (although description at time of reservation didn't had this info), as most tourists will rent a car in this location. The staff was very helpful and friendly. All suggestions for restaurants were spot on! I will definitely consider this hotel again whenever I come back.

Miinukset: (not a dislike but a factor for improvement) The breakfast was good, but it could have a larger variety. The amount of guests during my stay (during February) could easily justify that.

Plussat: Sijainti ja aamiainen olivat hyvät. Hotellin oma parkkipaikka oikein hyvä.

Miinukset: Varaukseni oli kahdelle huoneelle kahdelle pariskunnalle. Kirjoittauduttaessamme sisään vastaanottovirkailija sekoitti meidät ja avainkortit siten, että toiset kortit eivät käyneet oikeisiin huoneisiin.

Plussat: On arrival greeting could not be more friendly,rooms were spotless and all staff very personable,breakfast was substantial and serving staff attentive and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great breakfast, friendly stuff, FREE parking (we didnt pay 4 eur per day)

Miinukset: Rooms are NOT soundproof as advertised - we heard guy snoring in next room. Snooker is for aditional charge, all things in games room were broken (little slide for children, both table footballs etc...)

Plussat: Great place to live if you don’t plan to spend time in the hotel - so it has everything you need for rest: plenty of free overnight parking places in front of the hotel, fast check in-check out, good breakfast, nice room with a great sleeping comfort. Also, it is just in 5 min walk from the main streets with restaurants and just 10 min drive from the airport

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was good and excellent

Miinukset: Not have anything

Plussat: Got a special time limitted offer, so the price was right. Staff was courteous and friendly. Room was spacious and clean, the bed comfy, the bathroom spacious and clean. Good varied breakfast. Nothing special, but a good solid clean hotel.

Plussat: Location Bar L

Miinukset: Beds hard

Plussat: Very pretty, quiet, spacious and clean with an excellent breakfast buffet included

Plussat: Everything was good.

Miinukset: The hotel staff, sound insulation of the rooms is very poor, breakfast is not worthy of a 3-star hotel.

Plussat: the staff we had contact with tried to please the maids looking after the rooms did a good job

Miinukset: it was easy to see why it was a 3 star and not a 5 star just small little things like the plug in the sink didnt work properly the furnichure was chiped the remote for the telly was cracked and hard to use breakfast tables did not have clean table cloths on each day orange juice was not fresh certain types of bread were in short supply room service was only available 11am to 11pm

Plussat: Buffet's were good

Plussat: The location... close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment etc. It's a very comfortable and clean hotel. Staff are very friendly. The buffet breakfast was great.

Plussat: I found the staff very friendly and helpful. As this was my first time to Portugal I was nervous about the language. Staff where very fluent in English which was helpful to me. Food was very good.

Miinukset: Had to go to the bar for ice. There should be an ice bucket in each room and a ice machine on each floor.

Plussat: Asiallisen ystävällinen henkilökunta, ei liian mairea. Kaikki hoitui sovitulla tavalla, sujuvasti. englannin kielen taito oli myös kunnossa.

Miinukset: Huoneitten väliseinät olivat ohuet, korotettu ääni kuului hyvin.

Plussat: Hotelli on keskitasoinen ja siisti hotelli. Se tarjoaa hyvän yöpymismahdollisuuden ilman turhia ylellisyyksiä. Lähellä keskustaa. Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja neuvoi mielellään ravintoloita ja nähtävyyksiä valittaessa.

Plussat: Kokonaisuus ihan mukava, sijainti mukava, suojattu auton parkkipaikka

Miinukset: Aamupala vaatimaton ja yksioikoinen eikä ravintolan kapasiteetti ole riittävä vierasmäärään nähden

Plussat: Siisti hotelli, jossa palveleva henkilökunta. Ei kuitenkan tuputtanut mitään ja asiat sai hoidetuksi kerralla ja oikein. Suosittelen.

Miinukset: Huoneiden kokolattiamatot pois. Ei tämä kuitenkaan häirinnyt meitä allergisia, koska olimme kuvista nähneet, mitä odottaa.

Plussat: Siivoojat olivat tosi ystävällisiä ja englanninkielentaitoisia. Esim meillä oli unohtunut oveen päiväksi EI saa häiritä-kyltti. Siivooja soitti huoneeseemme kun palasimme ja kysyi tarvitsemmeko jotain.

Miinukset: Tuoreita kasviksia aamupalalle, tomaattia,salaattia.

Plussat: $review.pros

Miinukset: poor breakfast buffet same every day

Plussat: Smart and clean hotel with good food/drink availability plus a nice pool area. Modern card locks on doors and handy vending machines on floors plus free internet access.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The breakfast was very good, and a wide selection was on offer. The hotel location is quiet but very accessible to downtown and restaurants. The staff were helpful with requests and when seeking advice about Sao Miguel generally.

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

Miinukset: Ikkunat voisi joskus pestä.

Plussat: Courtyard is beautiful. Lobby decor with Chinese themes is warm. All staff were extremely hospitable- front desk, bar, restaurant. Thank you Paulo for the breakfast!!

Plussat: The hotel is centrally located, however, it is still quiet and comfortable. I like how the rooms are facing the hotel gardens, and they offer good quality complimentary breakfast.

Miinukset: The room cleaning is inconsistent, we had some good days the maid did an excellent job, and there were some days the maid did a lousy job in tidying the room.

Plussat: We stayed in this hotel for one night and have no complaints whatsoever. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and quiet. The breakfast was very good as well with a large assortment of items to choose from.

Miinukset: The bathroom might be due for renovation

Plussat: Very friendly and helpfull staff

Plussat: Quick and good service. No problems in long waiting. Parking, Waterpool and gym available and in good condition.

Plussat: Azoras Are beautiful

Miinukset: price too high for a 4 star with old facilities and what a cold , icely property!! Disgusted by reception staff . They charged us twice for a bathrobe. Finally this is not a 4 star maybe an old three star for families or seniors over 80!

Plussat: we liked the location, helpfulness of reception, evening buffet meals, gardens and location of our rooms.

Miinukset: we were dissapointed with the breakfast and how hard the beds were

Plussat: Really nice rooms, fine service, nice indoor and outdoor facilities

Plussat: Hotellin henkilökunta oli ystävällinen ja avulias. Peruspalvelut toimivat hyvin.

Miinukset: Sisäiset opasteet olivat puutteellisia. Samoin palvelut olivat huonosti esillä. Esim. olisi voinut mainostaa lounge baarissa nähtävissä olleista formula-ajoista ja jalkapallopeleistä.

Miinukset: Hinta-laatusuhde on huono: ylihintainen hotelli paikalliseen tarjontaan verrattuna

Plussat: Quiet, peaceful hotel with good facilities.

Miinukset: On occasions the bar staff were a little bit unfriendly and rude.

Plussat: $review.pros

Miinukset: Hotel not in center of town. If you have walking problems this may not be for you. No one tolde us about walking through internal corridors to get to dining area- evident with others as well skipping through rain drops in courtyard. No nearby small snackbars or shops for light breakfasts. Hotel breakfast really overpriced. This hotel debits your account when you checkin! Not when checking out.

Plussat: I liked everything about the hotel.The staff were great.Always with a smile on their faces and very helpful.The comfort of it all,the gardens,the pools...it was all just delightful! Will stay there again.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: spacious rooms and bathrooms; clineliness in the room and hotel; good hotel staff

Miinukset: the breakfast was unchanged for the whole period (10 days)

Plussat: swimming pool and fitness/sauna facilities

Miinukset: Some noise due to airport 3 km's away. No free wifi facilities... 9 francs an hour!

Plussat: breakfast buffet amazing foods-eggs, meats, waffles, breads,vegies, cheeses, yogourt, fresh fruits, cereals, jams, juices, gourmet beverages and in a beautiful room. room overlooked plaza

Miinukset: steam room or suana or whirlpool-but rooftop pool was wonderful. free welcome drink would be nice no coffee maker in room but convenient to get and there was a kettle and frig

Plussat: I was like the place very clean and the staff was very friendly and the service very nice and people very good atención

Miinukset: Everything is very good no problem

Plussat: We enjoyed the overall feel of the Boutique Style Hotel with spiral staircases, libraries and comfortable sitting areas on each floor. The breakfast was very good and location was within walking distance to shops, restaurants and city center.

Miinukset: My only complaint was that the close proximity to the downtown area made it difficult to sleep with the outside noise.

Plussat: Very nice stay

Miinukset: we liked Very nice stay

Plussat: Very kind and helpful staff in all parts of the hotel. GREAT BREAKFAST BUFFET!

Miinukset: Only received a bottle of water the first day. Our stay was 6 nights, and I think we should get another bottle of water without paying for that length of stay.

Miinukset: No Sound isolation between the rooms.. we could hete everything from our neighbours on both sides.. EVERYTHING.. we couldnt sleep because of the noise of the street aswell

Plussat: Great breakfast, lovely appointments art deco in style. Parking was inexpensive (Euro 6 per day)

Miinukset: I would advise travelers to ensure that their room faces the square and or over the hotel entrance street. Our room was fine but it was over a cafe/restaurant which was closed for the winter. It was opposite a small cafe which was open but closed at 6.00 p.m.

Plussat: Great hotel..wonderful staff

Miinukset: Great

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

Miinukset: Restaurant just okay for dinner.

Plussat: The front desk staff were extremely helpful in navigating the island.

Miinukset: As other reviewers have mentioned there was a funny smell from the washroom. I found the location difficult to find with a car (we rented from the airport). I also think that many other places on the island are more worthy of mention and patronage then Ponta Delgada. I think one night is enough in the city. Spend the rest staying in the many picturesque places on the island.

Plussat: The location is excellent. The breakfast is very good. The service is good. Everybody is eager to please. The room was large and pleasant.The free Internet was helpful.

Miinukset: I can't think of any.

Plussat: Fabulous breakfast buffet; spacious room; lovely view of garden

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: The room I stayed in was huge and luxurious; they also gave me some water and biscuits when my room was ready as I had to wait, even though it was my fault for arriving a bit early rather than them being late in getting the room ready. Breakfast was good with wide choice of food. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: It's location was supurb! Close to the marina/pools, shopping, dining, other cultural and historical attractions.

Plussat: Valitettavasti huoneen kokolattiamatto haisi todella pahalle. Ensin epäilimme remonttia/ kemikaalia esim liimaa. Siivouksen yhteydessä huoneeseen suihkutettiin voimakkaan hajuista parfyymiä joka on ehkä kerääntynyt mattoon. Keittiö oli hidas (lounas kesti 2h). Sijainti on erinomainen ja muuten hotelli viehättävä. Ystäviemme huone ei haissut (ei kokolattiamattoa).

Plussat: The location was perfect for a city tourist and the view from the room was spectacular

Miinukset: they provide a water heater for coffee but no coffee or tea; the bed was poor quality; their credit card machines were broken

Plussat: on elegantti ja hienostunut hotelli, jossa on ystävällinen ja rento tunnelma. Hotelli heijastaa selkeästi paikallista kulttuuria ja erityisesti paikallisten tuotteiden käyttö aamiaisella oli mukava lisä.

Miinukset: Aamiaisella voisi olla hieman enemmän vaihtelua, ainakin jos hotellissa viipyy pidempään kuin viikon. Hurmaava paikka.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, siisti ja iso huone ranskalaisella parvekkeella, hyvä aamiainen joskin joka aamu samanlainen ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Good Location , well furbished friendly staff.

Miinukset: Can be a little noisy because of location.

Plussat: nice big room, beautfiul hotel and grounds

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The location was very convenient, right in the center of Ponta Delgada, about 4 blocks from the city gates and main town square. Also, there was a nice garden in front of the hotel. The staff was very helpful in booking a tour of Furnas as well.

Miinukset: Nothing I can think of.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Staff was outgoing friendly and helpful

Miinukset: View from room door to outside balcony wouldn’t close

Plussat: Had a great time very friendly people

Miinukset: Nothing everything was excellent

Plussat: The front desk lady was nice and helpful; Breakfast

Miinukset: Very noisey. You can hear everything from the people staying in the room next to you or even further away. I hardly got any sleep and I just didn‘t feel comfortable staying there. Hotel in general and bathrooms in particular need to be modernized.

Plussat: Hotel is situated very well. It's really clean and personal is friendly. Breakfast is good.

Plussat: Centrally location. Excellent view and friendly and helpful front desk.

Plussat: Great location in the centre next to cafes and restaurants ,and close to the airport 9 minutes by car, cleanliness,new furnitures

Miinukset: Not too much diversity in breakfast buffet , and pillows

Plussat: Good breakfast,good location i will go back again!

Plussat: I loved the location, clean rooms. I loved everything about it. Will come back

Plussat: I came to Azores one or tow Time per year and each time i reserved thé Gaivota hotel

Plussat: Location was downtown

Miinukset: Single room views are terrible. The view is of a lot with building ruins not very appealing

Plussat: Hotel was clean and comfortable. Had a small balcony and a nice living room area. The location was killer. Right in the heart of Ponta Delgada and within walking distance of several very nice restaurants. Right across from the harbor/port and 2 min from any of the whale watching operators. Market and shopping mall right next door. The hotel staff, particularly Enrique, were extremely helpful in arranging taxi services and restaurant recommendations. Enrique went out of his way to help us and make sure we had a great stay in the Azores. His knowledge of the local culture and food was incomparable.

Miinukset: Could use a slightly larger balcony

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti ,keskustan kaikki palvelut lähellä. Huoneisto tilava.

Miinukset: Huoneiston ilmastointi viallinen, korvattu äänekkäällä siirrettävällä laitteella. Kadun melu kantautui huoneistoon.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location very central.

Miinukset: Most days the room was cleaned very well and the beds made up properly, but on a few days it was not cleaned as well - possibly different people cleaning the rooms on different days.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is in the very center of the city, on the seaside. Big rooms with kitchenette. This type of hotel wouldn't quite be my choice for a holiday residence, but for the one night that we spent there it was ok.

Plussat: spacious clean and quite even though it is right in the promenade with traffic. Good view from the balkony facing the sea. Very good value easy for public transports as we were on a walking holiday.

Miinukset: The hobb in the apartment kitchen was not working when we arrived. However next day was promptly fixed.

Plussat: Fantastic location of the hotel! The main pier with restaurants and bars was right across the road! The centre of town - just 2 blocks away. Breakfast had a good selection of breads, fruits and hot foods. Our 2 bed room had a separate living room / kitchenette.

Plussat: Huge room and very comfortable.

Miinukset: Not really did not like but i think it can be improved, the choices for breakfast.

Plussat: Loation, Location, Location. Budget. Hotel Personel very friendly and professional. Very clean.

Miinukset: BREAKFAST:Sometimes missing Cheese, Ham, Butter, Juices... To no fault of staff. Will recommend hotel with improvement on the above.

Plussat: Helpful friendly staff. Excellent location, close to everything. Was lucky enough to get top floor front room with huge balcony overlooking 'the Strip'. Roomy, yet charming.

Miinukset: Bed was hard, as were pillows, but spare pillows in closet were soft. Could have put an iron in the room. But minor considering the pluses.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli erittäin avuliasta ja ystävällistä. Hotellin sijainti erinomainen: meriuimala parin minuutin kävelymatkan päässä, satama-alue, josta meriretket lähtivät, tosi lähellä. Sänky oli hyvä.

Miinukset: Näkymät takapihalle eivät olleet erityisen miellyttäviä.

Plussat: Paljon tilaa ja vaikka keskeisellä paikalla, niin silti riittävän rauhallinen. Erittäin siistiä ja henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Hissi oli elämyksellinen. Ei silti, toimihan tuo.

Plussat: Some of the staff were extremely nice and helpful......but only some!

Miinukset: Having specified a non-smoking room with big bed we were ushered to a stinky smoking room with two small single beds overlooking a demolition site. We were told that guests who booked through online agencies were always given these rooms. The guy did not help with the luggage even when we changed rooms after a long discussion on the matter!

Plussat: Location was great - walking distance to most sites in Ponta Delgada including Parque Atlantico (mall w/ supermarket and food court), City Gates and many restaurants. Housekeepers, front desk staff and restaurant staff were all fantastic. We were able to check in early after our red eye and were provided a king size bed as requested. Breakfast was included with stay which was convenient and cost effective - although it was not the best we easily found something each and everyday. I appreciated the lactose free yogurt and granola.

Miinukset: The room was a little dated and smelled a little musty however was clean and functional. Staff and location more than made up for it his. We would stay here again.

Miinukset: WiFi Very poorly

Plussat: They have the nicest people working at the front desk; Bruno was superb in accommodating us. The hotel is vast and the rooms are comfortable. It's a short walking distance to a lovely shopping center.

Miinukset: It might be allergies but there was dust on the bed cover.

Plussat: The bed was so big and comfy.

Miinukset: The decor is a bit out of dated but it’s still pretty

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.

Miinukset: The advertising says It is a hotel& spa but the spa is independent and has several problems: no dressing rooms with private lockers and showers, no offering of robes, no chairs in the indoors swimming pool area, bad and inefficient service when booking any facial or body treatment/massage.

Plussat: Location , parking

Plussat: It has nice outdoor and indoor pools, and huge lunch/dinner buffet (not included).

Miinukset: Pillows are uncomfortable and room decor should be updated.

Plussat: Breakfast and Dinner served with the excellent customer care attitude by personnel. All what was needed was available without delays. E.g. rental car.

Miinukset: Ala carte portions on restaurant would be nice. Just buffee was available.

Plussat: Auton parkkeeraus helppoa. Sijainti keskustan ahtauden ulkopuolella, kuitenkin kävelymatkan päässä keskustasta

Plussat: Henkilökunnasta, aamupalan laadusta, huoneen koosta

Miinukset: Kokolattiamatot hotellihuoneessa olivat jo uusimisen tarpeessa.

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä -lähellä keskustaa ja kauppakeskusta.

Plussat: I found the space very well cleaned and organized.

Miinukset: There was a strange old guy in the room that made a lot of noise. But it had no relation at all with the hostel. It was poor human behaviour.

Plussat: Great base location, modern renovated historic building with parking, right next to fantastic garden. 24/7 front desk staff, super cheap accommodation, handy to farm market for great local food and wine which you can bring back and use their kitchen to prepare your own food if you like. Great eco-friendly place. Spotlessly clean, many great lounge areas, church bells and birds to wake you up in the morning. Great facility.

Miinukset: A towel would be fantastic, and a great local map on the wall would be helpful.

Plussat: Very nice room with comfortable bed for very good price. Bathroom was very clean. Breakfast was ok. Locations is good- close to shopping center- 5min; 8 min to historical center.

Plussat: Staff was really friendly, easy check-in payment process, great location to the center area which was decorated with Christmas lights and pretty. Could walk to the center very easily from the location.

Miinukset: The hostel is a little hard to find as there is a parking lot Google takes you to and says you're there but you can't really tell. The hostel is located above the parking lot so look up and you'll find it

Plussat: Like all other Pousadas in Açores, it has a nice warm and comfy vibe, good and clean conditions and nice staff.

Plussat: View from balcony Sunset and sunrise

Plussat: I was only in the hostel for maybe 6 hours, I showed up late and had another plane to catch the next morning. Check in was quick and easy, the host was very friendly.

Miinukset: The hotel pickup was very easy but a little expensive, I would probably just get a taxi next time and save some money. But no real complaints.

Plussat: the building was great

Miinukset: mattresses saggy and buckled like hammocks on the weak wire mesh frame ..

Miinukset: The walls of the hostel are wallpapered with tipps how to behave sustainable yet they serve jam and butter portioned in those small plastic packings.

Plussat: Great hotel as base for traveling around the island. We had to leave before breakfast is derved, however they provided breakfast-to-go.

Plussat: Chose the hotel for one night before our flight home. Clean room, great beds, friendly staff. Central - close to restaurants and attractions. For a one man (host, cook and washer upper) dining experience try restaurant Boca de Cena :)

Miinukset: Left early so we couldn't try their breakfast - however a baker is open 50 m down the street.

Plussat: Location was amazing. Breakfast was great. A nice balcony. Super that there was parking.

Miinukset: Bathroom was outdated and needed a deep clean. Carpets were musty.

Plussat: we liked it here and the staff was very acomodating, we stayed here due to a canceled flight.

Miinukset: the carpet in the room we stayed in was a bit old and and the shower was difficult to figure out.

Plussat: Friendly staff and great place clean and comfortable

Miinukset: There was nothing to like

Plussat: Very good breakfast, nice and clean room, good location.

Miinukset: No iron available! It's happened the first time for me and I travel quite a lot. Generally, the equipment in the room is very minimalistic - that's OK for me, but the iron should be available from the reception or the corridor closet etc. The TV channels are generally in Portughese, apart from MTV and Eurosport etc, so no English news etc.

Plussat: The location was perfect for a 'base' to visit the island and all of the amenities available.

Miinukset: The staff were very sullen and never greeted the guests and smiling seemed to be a major effort even when spoken in Portugese to them.

Plussat: We were pleased that the discount offered via the site was around 50% of rack rate, as we certainly would not have paid anywhere close to full price for the hotel. It is walking distance to the city's main shopping mall, which is useful for short stays and also for those who wish to remain out of the tourist downtown.

Miinukset: The hotel decor was outdated and needed revamping. It is located in a one way street which means that for early morning airport departure, one is forced to travel into town in very heavy traffic. Allow an extra few minutes. No good restaurant options within close walking distance.

Plussat: The stuff is friendly, rooms clean.

Miinukset: Limited choice of food at breakfast

Plussat: Good basic hotel, clean and comfortable for reasonable cost. Nice staff. Liked the fact that breakfast cntinued to be served til 10am so no need to get up too early. Also check out as late as 12 noon was good, and the staff were happy to look after our stuff while we wandered into town.

Miinukset: Decor a bit dark and dingey. No outdoor relaxing area such as garden or terace. No WIFI in rooms.

Plussat: Good sized room with sitting area, small verandah, large bed, comfortable pillow. Everything was clean and in good working order. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money.

Plussat: ystävällinen henkiökunta, hyvä sijainti kaupungissa

Miinukset: ruokailutilan koleus, aamupala aina samansisältöinen, hedelmiä saisi olla erilaisia enemmän

Plussat: friedly staff easy access to town

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: Really comfortable,minutes away from the centre and I could sleep there during the day,having just got off a sailing ship

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: Relaxing atmosphere, nice view onto garden. Friendly, professional staff.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The size of the room and the balcony over the 'central courtyard'

Miinukset: The 'central courtyard' was in fact open at both ends to traffic so was pretty noisy quite early in the morning.

Plussat: The total area of the room

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: The bedroom is fairly spacious as European hotel rooms go. The breakfast was very good. The bar/lounge area is very inviting.

Miinukset: Our room (#4) was the first in the hall and beside the elevator so there was some noise as other guests came and went. It was over the breakfast room and there was no sound from that so except for the door/hallway the rooms seem to be well insulated. Also-there was only a desk chair so no comfortable place to sit in the room.

Plussat: Sijainti ja toimivuus hyviä

Miinukset: Kahvi ja pekonit vastimattomia

Plussat: Very nice, traditional hotel in the city centre. Rich breakfast buffet with local bread and jam. Helpful and very friendly stuff.

Miinukset: The only thing I missed was a water cooker and some tea bags in the room. And the fridge of the minibar was really noisy, so I had to unplug it to be able to sleep.

Plussat: Location is good. Quite quiet. Stayed before so know what to expect.

Miinukset: Breakfast is rubbish!

Plussat: Great location right in the center of Ponta Delgada. Good breakfast. Big bathroom. Quiet room.

Miinukset: Staff wasn't very friendly nor helpful, that would probably be our main complaint. The mattress was quite hard.

Plussat: We arrived late & the receptionist found us a restaurant near to the hotel which was very helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing to report

Plussat: A classic somewhat upmarket hotel but quite nice. We stayed there for one night at the end of our trip so we wanted a bit more luxury and we sure did get it. It's not one of those modern design places that are popping up in Ponta Delgada. It's right in the heart of the old town so an ace location. The room was very nice with comfortable beds. The bathroom was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was nothing spectacular but I wouldn't call it basic either. The staff was very professional.

Miinukset: The breakfast room was like a basement, a well decorated basement, but still a basement. Other than that I can't think of any downsides. Maybe this one: we didn't have a car there but if you do, the old town has a serious lack of parking space and the hotel has none.

Plussat: Great location & friendly bib

Miinukset: Like bar soap not those dispensers

Plussat: Great, convenient location. Very friendly staff. Gave us a bagged breakfast since we had to check out early. Great perk to a travel day!

Miinukset: When I turned on the shower, the spray head moved quickly upward and soaked the towels. I tried to get it under control but it did not want to stay in place. By the time I was done with my shower I had wet towels and a puddle of water on the floor almost to the door. It was late and my husband was sleeping so I didn’t want to call housekeeping or maintenance. Not sure what the fix would be.

Plussat: Great location, very comfortable hotel in central Ponta Delgada. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: very poor quality/price relationship

Plussat: Very central and close to all amenities the town can offer. Good value, very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice.

Plussat: Fantastically helpful staff at reception, room attendants etc. and a great location that more then compensates for the lack of seaview.

Plussat: Valitsimme hotellin, koska emme halunnet mennä isoon hotelliin. Hotellissa miellytti pienuus, rauhallisuus, siisteys, hyvä palvelu, keskeinen sijainti.

Miinukset: Ei ollut. Mutta en olisi valinnut hotellia, jos se olisi ollut kalliimpi kuin matkatoimiston vaihtoehdot. Nyt etukäteen netistä varattuna hinta oli kilpailukykyinen.

Plussat: Really central, near everything: monuments, parking possible in the street above, municipal market one street away, shopping center 50 ft away, restaurants all over the surroundings! A very nice hotel where to stay and from where, simply walking, you can reach everything to satisfy your needs, from lunch or dinner or shopping or parking, visiting museums or going to the theater (2 streets above). Fantastic staff, helpful and very efficient and nice breakfast (buffet). Enormous room, very clean and quiet!

Miinukset: Internet was not available (pc was not working); breakfast could have more regional choices (local cheeses and pineapples could make it even better!); no spa, no sauna, no pool which is somewhat usual on this sort of hotels (4 stars)
