Top São José Hotel Reviews

Azores Youth Hostels - São Miguel

10/10 Excellent

"Only 11 minutes walk to downtown Ponta Delgada. It was amazing for single travelers or couples. It was clean the staff. It was amazing parking lot right in front of the building for free right next to a great coffee shop."

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, staff were great and helpful, real fast was varied. The indoor and outdoor pools were well maintained. Room was clean as was the rest of the hotel. Very central location. We really enjoyed our stay!"

Casa do Campo de São Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully located. Only allowed check-in after 8:00 am. Was a little difficult to check-in"

The Farm - Azores Boutique House

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this boutique hotel. Everyone went above and beyond helping us with suggestions of what to do while there. The room was clean and well laid out. The breakfast was delicious with many buffet options plus a few made to order dishes. The vibe is modern but welcoming. The pool area is nice - it was chilly while we were there so we didn’t swim, but it was a calm place to sit and relax after hiking. Love that they have a little banana ‘forest’ out back as well as a couple of rabbits and chickens. Highly recommend if you’re a traveler that likes a small boutique hotel experience."

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Talisman is what I would call, "A hidden gem". Very nice and clean with a gorgeous roof top pool. It's located in the center of town at a pretty town square. It's also 1/2 the price of the close by large hotels. Wish we stayed here longer."

VIP Executive Azores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly, I must say that the staff at the VIP Executive Azores Hotel is by far the most professional, helpful and friendly staff we've ever interacted with. The service throughout our stay was exemplary. Our deepest thanks goes to restaurant staff Hugo, Paulo, Erica and Elizaura. Enrique at the reception desk was always helpful and ready to hear about our day. The hotel is perfectly situated to the City Centre, the harbour, the pineapple plantation and the botanical gardens. The restaurant meals were fantastic, from the breakfast and dinner buffets to the sit down service provided at lunch. Our room balcony faced the ocean, and the rooftop terrace provides a view of the harbour and the landscape. Great experience!"

Hotel Ponta Delgada

8/10 Good

"It’s a nice hotel. Great location close to the main downtown. Great pool and jacuzzi. Unfortunately there is no mini fridge in the rooms and there’s limited storage for clothes in the rooms. They should allow you to loan a towel for the thermal hot springs. The maids and staff were great. Good breakfast options, typical European choices. All in all a nice hotel for a fair price."

MS Vila Nova

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is well located within 15 minutes walk to downtown. Parking is available for additional 5 euros, however there is plenty of parking spaces in front of hotel and it's free from 19:00 till 08:00 next day. Pay at meter. Hotel includes breakfast bar, although it's exactly the same every day so it gets a bit tiring. However, it's convenient and plenty of food to fill up before your daily activities. They provide beach towel service for free, which was very welcoming and convenient. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Hotel has a pool, which we didn't use so can't comment on it. Overall we were satisfied and would recommend."

The Rock Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent spot for us to stay during a quick turn in Ponta Delgada. Entry instructions and communication were excellent. While there is no staff at night, all the required amenities were in place. Breakfast was supplied in advance and made traveling very easy. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!!!"
