hotéis em Ponta Delgada (Açores)

Prós: Localização, pequeno-almoço e simpatia dos funcionários :) Existiam sempre pratos especiais e tours organizadas pelo hostel. Tivemos um voo muito cedo e providenciaram-nos um pequeno lanche.

Contras: Do quarto. A cama era muito confortável mas as escadas eram pouco seguras e nada confortável de subir. Uma parte do quarto tinhamos sempre de baixar a cabeça o que se tornou incómodo.

Prós: Highly recommend this place! Location was great, staff very friendly, the breakfast was amazing, dinner options also! The garden at the back was so awesome. Lots of activities offer. The room was very clean and bed very comfortable. Thank you!!!

Contras: Tap in bathroom was loose and more hooks for towels would be appreciated. Thank you!

Prós: Os funcionários são dos mais simpáticos e prestativos que já conheci. Dou uma estrela dourada em especial ao Adrian por ter sido aquele com quem tive maior contato e ter sido espetacular na assistência. As panquecas do café da manhã eram divinais e o especial do dia era bastante saboroso. Havia flores naturais em muitos espaços da propriedade e redes no jardim os quais tornaram a experiência ainda mais agradável. A localização do Hostel é ótima, mesmo no centro histórico da cidade, e a equipa de limpeza é muito eficaz. Além disso, as toalhas e os produtos de higiene proporcionados foram uma surpresa interessante. De modo geral foi perceptível a existência de toda uma estrutura construída para a experiência dos hóspedes. Aprecio o empenho refletido e investido.

Contras: Os únicos pontos a serem aperfeiçoados dizem respeito, por um lado, a presença de toalha de mãos na casa de banho assim como uma porta a entrada desta com maior privacidade. Fiquei num dormitório com 5 Camas e Casa de Banho Interna Partilhada e senti falta de ambas. Por outro lado, havia rede de internet apenas nos espaços comuns. Penso que talvez isto seja fruto de uma decisão estratégica do Hostel a fim de que as pessoas possam interagir mais. No entanto, muitas vezes estes espaços estavam cheios ou com muito ruído o que dificultava o trabalho de quem quisesse responder emails ou resolver assuntos importantes ao fim do dia.

Prós: Out of the Blue is amazing! It was the best part of our trip to Portugal. I cannot say enough good things about it. The staff are so kind and make you feel right at home. They went above and beyond to show us around and help us when we had trouble parking. They make the most amazing breakfast for all of the guests everyday with fruit, bread, yogurt, pancakes, and a specialty of the day. The specialty breakfast items were so unique. During our stay for $15 Euros per person you could sign up for the dinner at night. The chef made the best dinner of anywhere we ate during our week trip to Portugal. We were there during Halloween and there was even a special Halloween party. We had a private room with a king bed. It had plenty of space and was cleaned daily. They offer different excursions but we didn't have enough time since we were only there a few days. We would come back to Azores just to stay at Out of the Blue!

Contras: There is nothing we didn't like!! The only thing to know is that parking was a little tough for us, but it is just the way it is in Ponta Delgada. After a few days we realized that you can pay to park at the end of the street and then overnight (after about 7 or 8pm) it is free until the next morning.

Prós: Big room, wonderful staff, nice garden. Good quality products at breakfast. Very quiet place

Contras: Nothing to point out.

Prós: Top location, very clean, very friendly receptionist Lea, extraordinary private room with a terrace, where we also had access to a pool. Very beautiful garden, great vegan breakfast and overall good vibes

Prós: Love everything. It´s a 5 stars Hostel. The staff is great

Prós: I miss all my staff friends, they were super fun. Great breakfast, huge garden, overall amazing place- probably the nicest hostel I've ever stayed.

Contras: Discount on family dinner for my last night was refused even though I stayed 9 nights. Laundry costs 10 euros.

Prós: A limpeza dos banheiros, o pequeno almoço, o staff, os passeios, o quarto, os jantares, o jardim

Contras: Faltaram ganchos pra pendurar roupa nos banheiros e quarto

Prós: My stay at Out of the Blue was super great. Despite being a hostel they take care of small details like a charm hotel. The staff is super friendly, breakfast outstanding and I can securely say that it was the most cleanest hostel I ever stayed in. ☺️

Prós: I have NEVER stayed in a hostel before or even a dorm-style room, and all my expectations (not too many, I assure you) were exceeded. The garden outback is impressively set out with various fruits and herbs growing, and is relaxingly serene to escape what little hustle and bustle there is outside. Every single communal space is thoughtfully decorated and preserves the feel of the original building. The location was very convenient and within walking distance of the excellent A Tasca restaurant and seafront piers. There are excursions organised every day to various places of interest/history/iconic points to keep you busy, and after a day of adventure, there is the lovely warm pool. The staff are friendly and very welcoming, when I arrived I was shown to the gorgeous sitting area and offered a drink while my bed was being prepared. That night, I joined the Family Dinner set up in the outside space (the Saturday menu is always a secret, I'm told) which was beautifully prepared by the resident chef...whom I presume also makes the eggs benedict for breakfasts - is this even a hostel??? - whilst I was there. The beds are sooooo comfortable and perfect for my back. The bathrooms were very clean and even more surprisingly...our beds were cleaned every day! There were times when I practically walked barefooted to the bathroom; don't be so shocked, it's THAT clean! I could go on, but even if I did finish this review, guaranteed there will be more thoughts I would want to add! I came for the hostel experience, and while I expected to meet people, I never expected to make friends, not just with the other lodgers but with staff too. THANK YOU Angela, Elisabeth, Lea (think that's the spelling!), Sanda, Magda, Patrick, Shai (I think??), Ilena and the rest of the team, for making Out of the Blue what it is... Hotel California in a sense; you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave...myself and the others I met certainly didn't want to!

Contras: As previously mentioned by other reviewers, it is an old building, so creaky floorboards are unavoidable...no surprises there. However, unlike other disgruntled reviewers, I came prepared (very light sleeper here, hello!) with earphones and eye mask. The sleep I had was as good as though I was in my own bed! So please do ignore the other reviews and just come with an open mind.

Prós: Tudo

Prós: Excellent vibes, dear and kind people.

Contras: No comments

Prós: 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.

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

Contras: Nothing to complain about.

Prós: 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.

Prós: Really cute place :))

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

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

Prós: 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.

Prós: Os vossos pequenos-almoços que saboreámos nos 2 últimos dias era farto e variado. Pessoalmente (como sou viciado no café, foi o que menos me satisfez, pois gosto de café forte: um verdadeiro CAFÉ. Quanto ao resto, tendo em conta também os preços inflacionados desde há 3 anos a esta parte em todo o universo Açoriano, só duas palavras: MUITO SATISFATÓRIO. Considero que a política açoriana no que respeita ao turismo deverá ser revista rapidamente, sob pena de se perder a chamada "galinha dos ovos de ouro"; seria uma pena tendo em conta as maravilhas que a natureza tão generosamente vos ofereceu. O que eu quis dizer com isto, muito humildemente e sem críticas, é que se deve ganhar dinheiro, sim, mas sem ser GANANCIOSOS. Penso que consegui passar a mensagem carinhosa a essa gente genuína que me habituei a admirar e respeitar e essa terra que eu amo e que visito regularmente. Muito obrigado pela vossa simpatia que, isso sim, é mesmo ÚNICA!!!

Contras: Já escrevi atrás: o café, claro!

Prós: Hostel fantástico,bem pertinho do centro,lugar muito bonito e organizado, decoração bem interessante,local muito limpo e organizado,o jovem casal que são proprietários são muito gentis e simpáticos,pretendo voltar,excelente.

Prós: Sabe amor a primeira? Exato! Desde o primeiro momento, desde a reserva, foi assim. A comunicação foi toda de prontidão e clara. Fui recebida com um lindo sorriso pela Mafalda, que não tardou em me dar um tour pela casa. E QUE CASA! Cada canto do Procyon te inspira! É um lugar tão lindo que não dá vontade de sair. Ainda assim, os funcionários te dão todas as dicas e te ajudam com os passeios e opções incríveis de atividades na Ilha. Recomendo e com certeza voltarei com amigos e família! <3<3<3

Prós: O pequeno almoço era sempre muito bom, e todos os colaboradores eram extremamente simpáticos.

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

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

Prós: Serviço e simpatia dos funcionários

Prós: Desde o conforto a limpeza , o pequeno almoço os pequenos grandes pormenores a extrema simpatia e competência de todos no Hotel .

Prós: The room was elegant and beautiful. The staff were above and beyond and super nice. Location cannot be beat.

Contras: The pool was very small and indoors with very little natural lighting.

Prós: Localização e simpatia do staff

Prós: Excelente produto, excelente serviço e toda a equipa muito prestável e simpática. Tiveram em atenção todos os pormenores da nossa reserva, fazendo sentir-nos especiais e bem tratados. Se procura um 5 estrelas em São Miguel, este é o hotel a escolher.

Prós: Perfect location on the Ponta Delgada marina. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Above all, the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help.

Prós: Cama super confortável; limpeza; Simpatia do staff;

Contras: Pequeno-almoço (sem leites vegetais, sem sumos naturais, pouca variedade de ofertas caseiras/não processadas).

Prós: Great service from the front desk, concierge and cleaning staff. The room was clean, king bed was very comfortable and rainfall shower was a plus. The hotel overlooks a marina which isn’t the best view but it is in a great location for whale watching tours and the local market and restaurants.

Contras: Parking was 10 euro a day but it was valet, which was nice

Prós: Disponibilidade e simpatia do staff.

Contras: Um Hotel de 5* com Sumo de Laranja ao pequeno almoço tipo concentrado não julgo normal!!

Prós: Location close to the center, restaurants and bars all around, even the whale watching tour started pretty much in front of the hotel... The rooms are stylish, the decoration of common areas like bar, reception, as well! The staff was really excellent, with a genuine interest in who we were, what we thought about their island. Breakbast was fine. The valet service is a real advantage. A perfect hotel for a sort getaway...

Contras: The terrace in front of the hotel is noisy, because it's close to the road.

Prós: Everything perfect! Good location, kind staff, nice terasse and kitchen, comfy rooms. Clean. Biscuits, cereals, coffee/tea/milk and fruits available for breakfast. Would definitely stay there again!

Contras: Actually all was good. Maybe 1 bathroom can be short for the 3 rooms. Room upstairs (2 simple beds) may be not adapted for tall persons as it is under roof.

Prós: Do proprietário, o Pedro, profissionalismo e simpatia, fico contente porque ele mostra que o turismo não são só números, tem que ver com a atenção, com o usufruto, em passar o melhor momento possível e a sua forma de ser e o seu espaço são mais do que alguma vez se espera. Fico contente porque sei que os turistas que vêm de outros países devem ficar deliciados com os Açores e isso começa no local que elegem para dormir, aqui são bem recebidos. O pequeno almoço é excelente e super funcional, mais uma vez com tudo o que é preciso. O conforto do espaço, a decoração, os quadros na parede, a parte comum exterior em jeito de roof top, tudo funciona e com gosto. A localização é absolutamente central e conveniente em relação ao aeroporto e ao centro da cidade. O espaço é limpo e funcional, a área comum é agradável , está sempre disponível na zona da cozinha, a possibilidade de fazer um chá e comer uns biscoitos, um sovado ou uns bolos lêvedos, mesmo à noite sabe bem picar qualquer coisa ao mesmo tempo que se dá 2 dentes de conversa com os outros turistas, muitos deles estrangeiros mas que revelam muito bom gosto ao escolher esta Guesthouse.

Contras: Gostei de tudo.

Prós: Cama muito confortável, dormi muito bem.

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

Prós: Very nice sympatic owner and also the other receptionist :), comfortable bed, renting bikes for 15€ per day, nice rooftop terasse, possibility to make a coffee or tea for free in the kitchen, very close to the city centre. In general, very nice place, highly recommended

Contras: Very thin walls, you can really hear closing and opening the doors, but since there were just 2 girls in the other room it was fine.

Prós: Adorei o quarto numas águas furtadas. Quarto arejado, luminoso, limpo, acolhedor, decoração simples e de bom gosto. Cama muito confortável. Dormi muito bem. Instalações muito limpas. A pequena sala de estar com kitchnete está bem equipada e decorada. Casa de banho arejada, soalheira e limpa. Não faltou nada. Muita simpatia dos funcionários e do Pedro, o dono do alojamento. Localização excelente. Tive a sorte de ter o quarto só para mim, com muito sossego e muita privacidade. Tem terraço grande onde se pode apanhar sol e relaxar. Voltarei e recomendo!!! Obrigada pela excelente experiência!!!

Contras: Gostei de tudo!!! Estadia perfeit@!!!

Prós: Very welcoming and cozy guesthouse. Perfect to visit the island of Sao Miguel, very close to the airport and the center of Ponta Delgada. Everything inside is very clean and well maintained, there is everything you need both in the bathroom and in the kitchen, you can also wash your clothes for free and rent extra towels other than the ones given with the room. The house also has a beautiful terrace perfect for relax, dinner or breakfast. Ah, for all guests there is everything needed for breakfast (local tea, milk, cereals and biscuits) for free. The host Pedro is always very kind and available to help, give advice and satisfy any requests.

Contras: The only thing, a bit noisy guests as well as the nearby lively street could disturb light sleeps.

Prós: Recomendo vivamente este alojamento. Localização central, conforto, limpeza, mas acima de tudo a simpatia e disponibilidade dos funcionários. Um especial agradecimento ao Pedro pela forma como nos recebeu e acarinhou durante toda a estadia. Foi como estar em casa, longe de casa! Voltarei de certeza absoluta!

Prós: Ótima recepção, principalmente pelo horário. Organizado, confortável e excelente custo benéfico.

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

Prós: Excelente localização perto de tudo o que é preciso, muito confortável e aconchegante, tudo novo, muito limpo e organizado, bons quartos, grande casa de banho, além de um rooftop muito giro para os hóspedes. Staff muito simpático e acolhedor, principalmente o proprietário que me recebeu excelentemente bem e me fez sentir em casa. Sem duvidas minha viagem não teria sido a mesmo se não tivesse começado pela escolha da In53. Recomendo e espero voltar um dia!

Contras: Não houve absolutamente nada que não gostei.

Prós: Nesta estadia, saliento a singular decoração, a simpatia e atenção dos funcionários, o pequeno almoço e o restaurante. Atrevo-me a dizer que é o melhor restaurante de Ponta Delgada, que consegue aliar qualidade, criatividade e atenção num ambiente relativamente descontraído.

Contras: A estadia correspondeu às expectativas, mas deixo algumas sugestões. O ar condicionado do quarto deveria de poder ser manuseado individualmente, pois seria mais agradável se o quarto estivesse menos quente. A piscina deveria ter água aquecida para poder ser utilizada nesta época do ano.

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

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

Prós: Very nice Hotel with lovely staff

Prós: We loved everything

Prós: Amazing breakfast. Perfect location.

Contras: Nothing, really.

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

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

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

Prós: Quarto com vista maravilhosa, muito espaçoso e muito bem equipado. Restaurante muito bom. Área infantil muito espaçoso e bem equipado. Bar no 7º piso muito agradável, com piscina exterior. Funcionários excelentes, sempre muito atenciosos. Pequeno-almoço muito variado e com produtos locais.

Contras: Nada.

Prós: Todos os funcionários foram fantásticos comigo. Ajudaram-me a vários níveis. Os que conheci foram o Paulo e a Jessica e merecem um prémio sff. Não porque foram simpáticos, isso seria óbvio, mas porque mais que isso, foram atenciosos e dedicados. Obrigado Paulo e Jessica ❤️

Prós: Cama soberba, bom pequeno almoço, decoração muito boa

Contras: Piscina poderia ser aquecida

Prós: Do quarto com vista deslumbrante sobre a marina, da simpatia e atenção do staff, do pequeno-almoço muito variado, do restaurante e das comodidades em geral. Fomos surpreendidos com os miminhos pelo nosso 25º aniversário de casamento no quarto, adorámos!

Contras: Não ter ficado mais tempo!

Prós: Hotel muito Central e com uma excelente vista sobre a Marina!

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

Prós: Quarto amplo e zona pequeno almoço com óptima vista

Contras: Portões entrada amplos mas estrada estreita e perigosa para entrar de carro

Prós: 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.

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

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

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

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

Contras: A little too expensive

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

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

Prós: 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

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: Pequeno-almoço excelente. Staff excelente. Limpeza impecável. Recomendo.

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

Prós: 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.

Prós: Ecological approach. Feeling I'm in a community of really nice people.

Prós: Harvesting our own vegetables and salad to use for dinner (the Bbq which we enjoyed so much) was very satisfying! They tasted extremely well too. Kudos for the entire staff/volunteers for the amazing work. The well equipped kitchen is an asset. Very friendly staff members, and thank you for the ride to the airport.

Contras: The highway... but nothing to do about that, the faciltities and the overall feel of the place make up for this. At night, there is hardly any traffic.

Prós: O anfitrião 5* sempre disponível, o facto de ser uma propriedade com certificado internacional de sustentabilidade com uma pontuação de 94%, localização perfeita e a oferta de restauração perto do alojamento é simplesmente divinal.

Contras: A propriedade estar muito perto de uma das principais estradas da Ilha, ainda assim durante a noite é possível descansar dado ao pouco trânsito.

Prós: The house is wonderful and staff were super nice to us all the time. They even share their own vegetables with the guests, which are super delicious.

Prós: O espaço da quinta é incrível, tudo sustentável, o próprio jardim da quinta é algo a visitar. São nos disponibilizados ovos, legumes e frutas biológicos apanhados frescos no jardim para que usemos sem custos. O pequeno almoço é bom, recomendo que reservem, foi uma grande ajuda na nossa estadia.

Prós: The big room what we had with our own private entrance, the well equipped kitchen with fresh spices, vegetables and sometimes eggs. You can pic free these things from their garden. They recycle everything, that is a big plus. The pond on the yard is lovely.

Contras: Everything was great but the location next to a highway. It was though easy to get somewhere by car.

Prós: Tudo estava optimo

Contras: Nada

Prós: Gostei de tudo, desde a comodidade à atenção do pessoal.

Prós: A história envolvente numa casa secular, e a forma como tudo estava descrito ao pormenor no livro de boa vindas, o que torna um “simples” alojamento numa verdadeira remonta histórica, e nos leva em pensamento a tempos outrora passados, de encher o coração!!!

Prós: Small touches, hand made soap, breakfast, pick your own veg,

Prós: The vegetables from the garden and the thought of sustainability.

Prós: The stuff was really nice. We arrived at late hours, there was no problem with it and they gave us proper information how to get in our room. We could also harvest vegetables from the garden which was pretty awesome. The location was also nice, maybe 15 minutes walk to the centre of Ponta Delgada. I highly recommend this hotel.

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: 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.

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

Prós: 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.

Contras: /

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

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

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

Prós: 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

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

Prós: 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!

Prós: Staff, location

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

Contras: -

Prós: Good location and the staff

Prós: 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?

Prós: The staff was amazing: so helpful and welcoming!

Prós: Gostei do conforto das camas e era um quarto agradável para a família. Na tabela do quarto diz que as crianças até as 10 anos não pagam mas a nossa filha pagou 7,5#. O quarto tinha uma barata enorme, o que até se pode entender mas por acaso é para mim o animal que mais odeio pelo que me tirou o sono e o funcionário não fez caso da minha preocupação. O pequeno almoço era excelente. Almocei no restaurante d+no dia do check out e estava verdadeiramente horrível e um calor que não se podia.

Contras: Almocei no restaurante no dia do check out e estava verdadeiramente horrível, para um preço bastante alto e um calor que não se podia.

Prós: Good location.Great staff! Very friendly, and provide good travel tips about the attractions on the island.. Very clean hotel, good breakfast,good soundproof...... Everything was over expectations....

Prós: Óptima localização.

Contras: Pequeno almoço pouco variado.

Prós: Excelentes comodidades e pequeno almoço. Simpatia e disponibilidade dos funcionários.

Prós: O alojamento tem uma ótima localização. O quarto é confortável .Os funcionários muito simpáticos.

Contras: Gostei de tudo.

Prós: Perfeito para uma pausa. Boa insonorização. Vista bonita. Relação qualidade-preço muito boa. Certamente uma estadia para repetir.

Prós: - Insonorizaçao excelente, bom pequeno-almoço, staff impecável, limpeza e mudança de toalhas diária.

Contras: - nada a salientar!

Prós: Boa localização, bons espaços exteriores, boa piscina exterior. Parque de estacionamento privado. Funcionários bastante prestáveis.

Contras: Pequeno almoço demasiado caro, 10€ por pessoa...

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

Contras: The location is a bit remote...

Prós: Muito limpo e organizado. O pequeno-almoço é caro, entregue no quarto e é muito bom, com produtos regionais. Mas devia haver uma opção mais simples, barata e com menos comida! Não conseguimos comer nem metade da comida - só pedimos pequeno almoço um dos dias. Recomendo imenso!

Contras: Os quartos deviam ter espelho de corpo inteiro.

Prós: Localização e instalações Preço qualidade Simpatia da equipa

Prós: São maravilhosos, super atenciosos!

Prós: Great location (the view was lovely), really pleasant and clean rooms, and very friendly staff, always welcoming us with a big smile. The resort had free parking, a nice pool and a tennis court. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family. Enjoy your stay!

Prós: The location is great, especially if you enjoy the sound of the ocean waves and you are looking for a nice quiet place to spend your holiday. Rooms were clean and very tidy. The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly, we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel until the check-in. Would totally recommend!

Prós: Nice, clean, warm and dry room, fully equipped. Comfortable bed, large bathroom and kitchen equipped with small things we didnt expect there but needed. Good location and parking.

Prós: Everything was super clean, comfortable and spacious. I really recommend this place for a perfect vacation!!! Will be back for sure!

Prós: Size of the room is nice

Contras: The room has a lot of stairs inside, so you have to carry your bags a story high.

Prós: Muito perto da marinha. curta maneiras. amigável e pessoal. vista agradável.

Prós: Adoramos os funcionários, todos são muito educados e simpáticos. Tudo foi ótimo. Tivemos uma ótima estadia lá.

Contras: A única coisa que achamos que podia melhorar é o colchão. Pelo menos no nosso quarto, o colchão era duro, parecia que você sentia as molas e eles chiava muito quando você se mexia. Mas talvez fosse apenas a nossa cama. E ficamos por 13 noites.

Prós: Poor breakfast for a 4 star hotel. Rooms are outdated and poor bathooroom. Nice Swimming pool

Contras: Very poor breakfast, deco of the room outdated, overpriced, poor bathroom facilities. Noisy street with lots of cars between the sea view.

Prós: Limpeza ótima, apesar de alcatifa nos quartos e corredor. Staff muito simpático

Contras: Pequeno almoço com pouca variedade/qualidade. Pouca capacidade do hotel para receber tanta gente ao mesmo tempo, tivemos de esperar para tomar o pequeno almoço.

Prós: Funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis, ótima localização, o pequeno almoço não é igual todos os dias. Embora que o quarto necessita um volta, é otimizado todos os dias pelas funcionárias.

Contras: As alcatifas e madeiras mostram a passagem do tempo. Casa de banho antiquada.

Prós: Breakfast is very good, great view from the seaside rooms.

Contras: The pool area needs a renewal, it doesn't look as nice and friendly as in the pictures. It is very dark, the Whirlpool and sauna were not working. All in all not very comfortable and relaxing...

Prós: Localização, quarto, cama, atenções pelo facto de celebrarmos datas especiais, pequeno almoço com bastantes opções. Banho turco, ginásio.

Contras: O Jacuzi e a pisnia não têm água quente. O Duche do Quarto aumentava a temperatura da água expontaneamente. A sauna estava em manutenção.

Prós: A localização o hotel em si. Local de pequeno almoço muito agradavel com vista para a marina Hotel com boas condições.

Contras: Haver parque mas a pagar 7,5€ dia Muito barulho na rua traseira do hotel virada para os quartos Muito barulho do team de limpeza parecia que estavam dentro do quarto.

Prós: excellent location, all rooms have water / harbour views and balcony, really comfortable and spacious, easy walking distance to heart of Ponta Delgada

Prós: Great place, friendly staff. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, port, some car rentals. Bus stop is very close. In the evenings the hotel organize music events.

Contras: The wider variety of breakfast options. Food was quite monotonic. At least eggs could be prepared in different ways.

Prós: Hotel com excelente localização, bom serviço, muito bem equipado e os seus colaboradores foram super simpáticos.

Prós: nice hotel very clean good night meals but breakfast needs more variety . staff was amazing helpfull and professional

Contras: breakfast needs more variety

Prós: Pequeno almoço com preferência para produtos locais, quarto espaçoso com excelente vista para a marina

Prós: View over seaport was great and nearby local attractions.

Prós: Location of hotel... super central, nice cafes and restos in the neighbourhood.

Contras: No coffee/tea facilities in the room. Minimum stock in mini bar. Poor soundproofing... I could hear pretty much everything going on next door.

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

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

Prós: Location, staff, price and building.

Contras: Pillows were not very full or supportive.

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

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

Prós: The Hotel has great rooms, breakfast and service. It also features a nice outside pool and a sauna. We enjoyed the stay very much.

Contras: Twin beds connected when we requested one large bed. Staff shortage when asking to get car from garage.... if someone was checking in or out had to wait a long time for front desk to unlock door. The body wash/shampoo combination I would expect in a low rated hotel. No drawers. Poorly decorated in rooms. Cool lobby area

Prós: The breakfast was good. The employees were very nice and friendly.

Contras: The hotel was difficult to access, there were stairs in the recepction and room. The walls of the room were in bad condition.

Prós: Localização no centro.

Contras: Tem garagem com poucos lugares.

Prós: Muito bom pequeno almoço, atendimento e localização.

Contras: No quarto, as casas de banho precisam de alguma remodelação.

Prós: Oh meu senhor. Local e localização maravilhoso. Para um dia voltar.

Contras: Nada a comentar.

Prós: Localização. Pessoal muito atencioso. Quarto amplo

Contras: Existencia de muitas escadas. Pequeno almoço pouco variado

Prós: Localização, limpeza.

Contras: O pequeno almoço poderia ter mais opções para vegetarianos e veganos. Limitamo-nos a pão, doce e salada de frutas. Seria bom terem cereais por exemplo. Outro fruta individual. A referir contudo que isto costuma ser um problema geral nos hotéis.

Prós: Estava tudo bom, limpeza, comodidades, simpatia dos funcionários e um óptimo restaurante.

Contras: Não ter estacionamento gratuito para os hóspedes.

Prós: Nice swimming pool area. But why open til 8pm only?

Contras: Dirty toilet in upper part visible from bath. Water for free available only for first night. Cheap products for breakfast. Problem with one hour extended checkout

Contras: My sister and I had a long drive one day and anticipated that we would have food at the ocean café. That day it was closed so we went to the restaurant and asked for a small meal.We were told that the kitchen was closed and we would have to wait 2 hours for it to reopen. We were so tired from the driving we just had water and some chips. For a resort to charge 250 a night and refuse weary guests a small snack is very disappointing. We will not stay there again.

Prós: Breakfast had good variety and was good.

Contras: The room sound isolation was poor. The bathroom was in need of general maintenance. The shower head was not well tightened and half the water was escaping through the hose connection. The white shower curtain had dark mold spots on the bottom. The water pressure in general was weak.

Prós: breakfast was nice, and they allowed me to do late check out.

Contras: Overall was a good experience, i don't have any complain

Prós: We choose this hotel for a layover between flights to the mainland. 5 minutes drive from the airport and five minute walk to the Centre of Ponta Delgada. Had a nice diner in their restaurant.

Contras: Big business type of hotel, giving a bit of unpersonal sphere in the evening when we were there. While the room was very clean and comfortable, some parts of the building start showing signs of wear and tear.

Prós: Pequeno almoço - bastante variedade. Quarto - Limpo, silencioso e confortável.

Contras: O único ponto negativo a apontar é o chuveiro ... merecia melhorias.

Prós: pequeno-almoço muito diversificado e com muita qualidade

Contras: nada a apontar

Prós: Indoor pool

Contras: Roof was falling down everywhere. Restaurant food is shocking. Staff are moody. Charge you 6euros per day for parking!!! Ridiculous. Definitely will not stay there again.

Prós: Great location on edge of old town. Grand hotel for the island and highly recommend it. Lovely pool area.

Contras: Air conditioning needs improvement in rooms and hallways. Main restaurant more like a cafeteria then a four star restaurant. Over whelming echo and the food was "interesting and quality expected." Mattress's also ready for upgrade.

Contras: Air conditioning was very poor

Prós: O staff era super simpático e acessível, o pequeno almoço era muito bom e as condições do quarto também!

Prós: After two weeks having different hotel/apartment in Terceira Pico and San Miguel, this was the most relaxing. Very clean and comfortable. Every day they change towels, shampoo, soaps etc and clean the bathroom and room all together. I felt like check-in to the room every day. The staff was really kind and helpful and the breakfast included different options for different taste. I highly recommend it.

Contras: The bathroom was a bit smelly in the evening, but this is something we had in other hotels as well. Not a big deal we just opened the window.

Prós: Adorámos o pequeno-almoço e o facto de todos os dias nós deixarem o quarto limpo, com toalhas de banho novas e produtos de higiene de banho.

Prós: O atendimento é super profissional, sempre disponíveis para ajudar/ dar conselhos. O pequeno almoço é muito completo e variado. As cozinhas bem equipadas, os quartos confortáveis e os espaços limpos! Recomendo!

Prós: Simpatia, localização e preço.

Contras: Acesso aos quartos à chuva. Mesmo sem chover pinga diretamente das telhas para nós na altura de abrir a porta do quarto com a chave (bastava colocar uma calha ou um toldo). Os quartos mais baratos ficam do lado de fora das instalações. O meu filho mais velho ficou lá, afastado da família, e sem AC. Se tivesse acesso a essa informação aquando da reserva tinha reservado outro quarto. O pequeno almoço deveria ter ovos mechidos e torradeira.

Prós: Very charming and well-decorated place. Room was spacious and toilet was sparking clean. Breakfast was very good

Prós: The staff were really helpful and the location was great, it's about a 10 minute walk into town and a 5 minute taxi journey to the airport. Small but quiet room with a comfy bed. We hired a car through the hotel and was really glad we did, great service and would recommend.

Contras: Only some and not all the food was covered at breakfast and we spotted some flies lingering on it which put us off. Two small things that would make a big difference: a kettle and mugs in the room so we could make tea / coffee, and a mirror in the bedroom. The only mirror in the whole room was fixed to the bathroom wall.

Prós: The staff was very nice and helpful. The room had recently been updated and is superb! Breakfast was excellent and included everything you could want. The whole guesthouse was extremely clean.

Prós: I had to leave early the next morning and they prepared a big breakfast for me beforehand. Room is small but totally met my needs.

Contras: There is free parking on the street but it’s tricky since it’s a narrow street, so I had to park uncomfortably close to the wall.

Prós: Super friendly and helpful gentleman at the front desk.

Contras: Bathroom amenities were very basic and less than expected for a four star hotel. Hotel needs a maintenance renovation.

Prós: Great breakfast. Loved the waffles

Contras: The gym needs attention from someone who goes to the gym

Prós: Excellent staff, great location, spacious and modern rooms, very good breakfast.

Prós: Convenient location close to the old town of Ponta Delgada. The hotel has a lot of charme and a "Harry Potter" look. We had a big room looking to the little park in front of the hotel (there is a squeaky street corner across the park and the noise can be disturbing for light sleepers!). Breakfast was very good with fresh fruits, local cheese and hot waffles. You can also have breakfast outside in an area near the little park. Staff was very friendly, especially the breakfast team. There is a small pool on the rooftop terrace which is too small for a swim, but nice for a little bath after a day of sightseeing.

Contras: Nothing. When we asked for a room with a view to the park, we were told that it could be noisy. So we were warned but actually did not mind the sound too much anyhow.

Prós: Excellent buffet breakfast with both hot and cold choices. Our room was accessible - lift outside the room, roll-in shower with seat, wide doors, emergency cord in bathroom. A charming hotel with several sections. Cafe and restaurant on site. Very easy walk to nearby stores and restaurants.

Prós: I was impressed by the professional staff. Always nice and facilitating.

Contras: The style is a little outdated, bathroom was only ok. Not very equipped gym.

Prós: Terraço para pequeno almoço muito agradavel.

Contras: Hotel mais perto de 3 estrelas que de 4. Elevador não funcionava em todos os pisos. Piscina fechada uma parte da manhã para maintenance.

Prós: RESTAURANTE ÓTIMO. BOA COMIDA A PREÇOS JUSTOS. ÓTIMA LOCALIZAÇÃO. O ESTACIONAMENTO DO HOTEL A 6 EUROS POR DIA VALE A PENA.

Prós: Excellent location; friendly staff; booked a suite and the room was huge and comfortable; buffet breakfast was excellent.

Prós: De tudo em geral

Contras: Nada em desabo

Prós: Beds a bit on the hard side. Room was a little dark.

Prós: Amazing room quiet with a little balcony great bed and bath

Contras: Really nothing maybe some coffee along with the tea in the room and a stocked mini bar
