Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The management (owners?) were very pleasant and helpful, as were all staff. The room was spacious and well prepared. The Hotel offered everything we wanted and was convenient for a short walk down to the Harbour at Horta, which was our main place to visit. Overall, extremely pleased with the quality and value the Hotel offered and provided. It is not a 5 star facility but clean, tidy, spacious and ideal for our stay on a budget. We would recommend this hotel.

Correcte mais vétuste

Personnel très agréable et attentionné. Pratique qu'il y ait une permanence sur une longue période à l'accueil. Chambre et hôtel correcte mais très vétuste et cher vu la "vieillesse" de l'établissement. Le pain du petit déjeuner était tultra sec. Etablissement très bien situé pour aller dans le centre ville (Horta) et à la plage à pied.

Alojamento modesto

A residencial é muito simples, com mobília antiga, mas é suficientemente cómoda e está bem localizada. O pequeno almoço é muito pobre, mesmo tendo em conta a categoria do estabelecimento. Uma opção a ter em conta em época alta, quando o preço dos alojamentos na Horta está muito inflacionado, se o objetivo for apenas ter um sítio limpo e central para dormir. Destaco a seriedade de terem informado a hoteis.pt da nossa ausência na primeira noite.

Poca spesa e tanta resa

Hotel pulito e personale gentile, camere spaziose con tutto quello che serve, comodi anche i letti, posizione a 10m a piedi dal centro città. Per il prezzo che ha direi che lo consiglio vivamente per chi non ha pretese di un albergo di lusso. Unico neo la colazione un pò povera, ma accettabile.

Au top pour les petits budgets. A 10 minutes du centre et bien 20min /30 min à pied du ferry. Vous pourrez vous y rendre pour 8€ avec des valises. Petit déjeuner simple mais inclus. Avec un peu de chance vous aurez une petite vue sur la mer, c'était la bonne surprise !
