They were kind enough to bring me a kettle which, as a tea drinker, was so very kind and I really appreciated. Very clean and well located in the town also. Highly recommend!
Nice hotel, comfortable room with balcony and seaview

Lovely hotel on Pico island
Lovely hotel on Pico island great breakfast included. Beds are on the firmer side and parking might be a bit of a challenge in peak times but would stay again for sure. Pool area looked great too.

4 nights in Madalena
I had 4 nights in this very agreeable hotel
Very convenient for boat terminal and whale watching trips and restaurants
I was lucky to get a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea
Breakfast was more than adequate and plenty of it!
Room was comfortable and very quiet
Absolutely no need to change my towels and sheets every day! I certainly did not ask for it!
Our room and bathroom were very good, with large comfortable bed, excellent bedding and towels and very clean.
The breakfast buffet was good and opened at 7.00, allowing time to start activities early.
Our only disappointment was that we arrived at 10.00 on the ferry from Horta and, whilst knowing that check in was not officially until 4pm did hope to get in the room before we did at 3pm.
Really friendly staff, Miguel was particularly helpful. Comfortable room with good breakfast. Complimentary tea was available in the Reception area during our stay, which was much appreciated. Walking distance from shops. Parking can be a bit tricky, but perhaps they have additional spaces we were not aware of
A one night stay only to catch a flight. Hotel was clean, comfortable and staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast buffet was busy but comprehensive.
Great location, service, family friendly. Only problem we had that air conditioning was not working in one room but to the staff credit they acknowledged the problem and quicky transferred us to different room.

Great choice in Pico
The staff here are excellent. Good breakfast. Great view.
Excellent hotel in the center of the town. Rooms are rather small but okay. The lighting is not very bright. Equipment of the rooms are according to 4 star hotels. Excellent breakfast. Parking is available but it is better to have a small car. We would return anytime.
the only thing for me I didn't like was the mattress was very hard. I would stay there again, perfect location, great staff and breakfast.

The property itself is a little dated but the staff keep it clean. I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast buffet had very fresh selection of fruits and hot food. For the price point, I would stay here again.
The hotel also accommodates transfers around the island for a fee, but it's very convenient to set up instead of looking for a taxi.
We enjoyed our stay here! Its biggest selling feature is how convenient it is for walking around Madalena, and close to the airport. We also liked that it was super close to the ferry and whale watching tours. The pool area is a great space with lots of seating, and the included breakfast was nice to have. Our only issue during our stay was that our mini fridge didn’t work, and the staff were somewhat responsive to our inquires of how to resolve this issue. Eventually after our request, they we’re able to give us ice to keep our grocery items kind of cold, but it wasn’t exactly ideal. If we had known this, we would not have gone to the grocery store - however this could be unique to our experience!
