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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Way better than expected

Wow, this hotel has some of of the best hotel staff I have experienced (the bartender was a bit maudlin for 11pm on a Saturday), amazing location, great pool and lots of breakfast. My air conditioner was leaking - they came and fixed it and even left me an extra large towel if it acted up.

It is a nice hotel with an abundant breakfast buffet. Unfortunately we had a room with view of the parking lot. We could change to a suite but had to pay €40 per nicht extra. There are rooms with a view on the pool. These are so much better. I guess if you make a booking with Expedia they give you the cheapest room even though you pay the full price.

The most depressing hotel we have experienced. The hotel staff was unresponsive, excluding the maids. The beds are extremely hard and like sleeping on a rock. The breakfast was simply unedidble.

The hotel is clean, rooms pretty spacious. Easy and convenient walk to ferry. We would have really enjoyed the bar being open in the afternoon, but it was closed for lunch from 13-17 (very typical for small local places). Since it’s a bigger hotel we were surprised to find it closed. We enjoyed the front desk person who agreed to drive us to and from Sao Roque even though it was a festival night.
