The hotel lobby is made of volcanic rock and has great ambience. The rooms are well appointed and spacious and the staff are so friendly. The restaurant serves a great breakfast with many food options. What was so disappointing was the pool. It was dirty and really cold. My daughter look so forward to swimming at the end of the day and did not want to go into the pool.

Room tip: Select room 3024

Thank you for your review!
We're glad you liked the ambiance and our twist on the historical building. As for the pool, we're sorry you didn't get to enjoy it. We had the chance to warm it up but, since it's an outside pool, a lot of heat would be lost and the energetic waste would be very high. Since we have a green policy, we eventually decided to keep it at natural temperature. We still clean it frequently, specially now that we have some construction work happening next door.
We hope to see you again in a near future and to be able to show you some improvements!
Best regards,

I stayed for a week in one of the superior rooms, overlooking the courtyard and pool. My room consisted of a siting room with sofa, coffee table, mini bar and tv, a bedroom with another tv and a full bathroom (inc Hairdryer). I found my room to be quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional splash from the pool to disturb the peace.
The room had a safe and you can get the lock barrel from reception at no extra charge.
I would have liked to have had access to tea/coffee making facilities and would have been willing to pay extra for this. Also, shutting the door when exiting the room could be tricky, I found that if I used the card to 'unlock' the door and held down the outer handle I could then close the door and it locked when the handle was released.
There is a small supermarket at the top of the street (opposite the church) which stocks drinks snacks etc.

Room tip: The superior rooms are in the newer part of the building.

… in that this hotel has all the charm and intrigue of the historic building, beautifully appointed with an excellent eye for design, yet it has the advantages and comfort of a modern hotel. Breakfast and dinner in the hotel’s restaurant were not at all disappointing either!

We stayed four night at an Airbnb - anna’s Place in Ponta Delgada and we most likely would have booked our full trip there had it been available when we booked our trip. Needless to say thank god it wasn’t because it was an overpriced dump compared to this place. Rooms are good sized with AC and it’s a great downtown central to everything!

The front desk was very accommodating when I arrived from my 6 am flight - they allowed my to check in early - which was amazing! The room was very nice - it looks like it may have been recently updated. Beds and bathroom were very clean. Mini fridge in room was a nice touch. The rate included a breakfast - it was really nice! Lots of selection. The pool looked great - but I didn't get to use it. If you need a hair dryer you have to ask at the front desk and they give one to you. Wifi worked great! Would definitely recommend this hotel!
