Location and pool were both great.

Everything is old and dated. The food was not very exciting. The room was small and not very comfortable. Even the linens seemed 20 years old.

"Costi esorbitanti per la struttura"

Good

5.0

La struttura è in una posizione invidiabile con vista sull’isola di Pico e in pieno centro a Horta. Di per sé, se ristrutturata sarebbe bellissima

L’hotel ha 20 anni e ne dimostra 30. I materassi sono sfondati, i cuscini pessimi. La stanza era poco pulita ( capelli e peli). Colazione basica in un ambiente un po’ triste. Ad agosto abbiamo speso 350€ a notte che totalmente ingiustificato. Vista la dimensione dell’isola molto meglio scegliere un appartamento

The staff was very professional. The service was exceptional. The breakfast was great and we had one of the best dinners of our 10 day trip was at the hotel.

Can’t think of one thing.

Working this time. That´s not the first time that I came to Faial to work. since the hotel that my company uses was full, I choose Pousada for staying, because I already stayed there during vacation time this year. This is simply an amazing place to stay, I just love them. To all the Staff - They are so nice. Breakfast is very complete, a lot of options. The room was so nice and clean. Thank you very much. I will stay again!!
