The hotel is superbly located in the heart of Ponta Delgada, near captivating churches and the town center. The rooms are spacious with a lovely breakfast and high ceilings, although a sofa would have been a great addition. The service was top-notch, offering everything from welcome drinks to car hire. The dining experience included a variety of food options, and facilities were well-equipped. The only downside is the price not offering great value for money.

The hotel offers a very comfy bed and an excellent breakfast, with good amenities, but twin beds were left in the room. The location is right in the city center, providing easy access to the most beautiful church I've ever seen and the main tourist spots in Ponta Delgada, as well as great restaurants. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with limited food options.
