"Good"

5.0

La posizione. Il personale è gentile.

La struttura è un po’ trascurata e cupa. La nostra camera, al piano inferiore, aveva un fastidioso odore di umidità ed era rumorosa ( gli infissi/porte lasciano filtrare ogni rumore esterno). Colazione davvero triste.

"Prachtige plek om Horta te ontdekken!"

8.0

Echt ouderwets maar heel goed hotel. Prachtige locatie en erg goede bedden

Het is echt te gehorig, er was een feest in het restaurant tot na 2 uur en dat was echt niet fijn. Je hoort mensen op de gang praten.

Mais uma Pousada de Portugal que não desiludiu. Bem situada, confortável e muito limpa. O staff é muito simpático e atento para que nada falte. O pequeno almoço bastante diversificado e abundante. Voltarei certamente!

"Nice place but in desperate need of maintenance"

6.0

The situation is unique, staff extremely pleasant and they gave us an upgrade for the first night

The hotel actually needs maintenance, rooms were nice (the one i booked with booking.com, but we could see haven’t seen much of maintenance for many years, the facilities of the swimming pool in poor state… which is a shame for such an amazing place. The breakfast was nice but the presentation could be better and “blaming the clients for the quality of some of accessories “ is to say the least not very nice. If you present cheese, ham and others in plastic areas… the least we could say… please get in right…

"Excellent stay"

10.0

Superb pousada - when aren’t they ! A wonderful location on the waterfront in a converted C17th fort. To open the curtains onto our balcony to a picture perfect view of Pico volcano was the icing on the cake ! The room was spacious, bed comfy, balcony & chairs all kept spotlessly clean. The reception area, bar & restaurant all with interesting features. We had breakfast included in our booking & it was plentiful & fresh - once again with the views to Pico & its volcano. The breakfast manager was very friendly & we tried regularly to converse with our limited languages. We ate in the restaurant one evening & enjoyed a lovely local slow cooked meat meal. Plenty of other restaurants & the town sights are within 5/10min stroll. A particular mention & thanks to Rui on reception for helping us & booking taxis & trips - his English & knowledge was really good & we enjoyed just chatting to him in general about life in the Azores. Horta is a beautiful centre from where to explore the Azores.

Bardzo miły personel, bardzo duży wybór na śniadanie. Śniadania pyszne. Hotel w samym centrum, wszędzie blisko. Parking na ulicy. Hotel posiada basen.

Pokoje bez balkonów bardzo małe, już dosyć mocno zużyte. Jeśli okna wychodzą na ulicę słychać hałas. W pokojach czuć nieprzyjemny zapach starych murów.

"Très bel hôte dans un endroit typique et classé, personnel charmant et très disponible."

Très bel hôtel dans une ancienne forteresse (pousada). Le confort des chambres et la gentillesse du personnel que ce soit à la réception ou au petit déjeuner.

Pas de parking mais possibilité de trouver à proximité.
