Fantastic service!

The property was immaculate and the staff impeccable. We had a 6am arrival flight and we’re checked into our room by 8:30am. Parking is easy and the staff is willing to help with any requests. The breakfast was incredible, in a dining room with lovely views of the marina.

Very nice breakfast buffet, gym, and sun deck. The staff was very kind.

Great property. Excellent staff. Central to downtown PDL and the entire city is walkable. Super clean and modern. Would definitely stay there again.

We booked here as the first two accommodations we booked had serious mold issues. We found a lovely haven at the Azor Hotel and extended our stay with them an additional 8 nights. The staff consistently took care of every need. The breakfast had many options and was delicious. Our family suite was just great for our family of 5. We enjoyed the views of the harbor and city. They were sound proofed and had black out curtains, so we slept well. The cleaning people left our room sparkling clean each day. We’re thankful to have ended up at this well managed hotel and would hesitate to stay with them again.

The staff, always with a smile on their faces, were polite, accommodating and professional. Emilio made us feel special by making a point to greet us daily and ask how we were doing and did we need anything.

Everything was exceptional from the time we checked in to the time we left

The restaurant and bar were super but the bathrooms tools were not a five star hotel. The staff were excellent.

My fiancé and I don’t have time for a honeymoon so we decided to book a romantic trip to the Azores before our wedding to calm the nerves and have an early honeymoon. We booked through Orbitz a flight and hotel deal. Our Delta flight on Sunday, Aug 18 was initially delayed and then cancelled. We were super bummed but we’re rescheduled for the next day and notified orbitz and the hotel. The next day, SAME thing happened. Cancelled flight. By this time, we would have spent more time traveling than on vacation so we cancelled to whole trip. We immediately notified Orbitz who promptly contacted Delta and Azor hotel for a refund. We got our flight refunded no problem but Orbitz informed us that the hotel said that no cancellations were allowed and they would not refund any or our stay, despite being informed of our flight cancellation and promptly telling the hotel to cancel our reservation before we even got there, so that they can rebook the room. My fiancé and I are now out over $1,000 because of something completely beyond our control. I am so saddened that this hotel is run by such heartless individuals who are stealing money from us for a trip we could not take. It is so horrible for this hotel not to give us a refund. It’s supposed to be such a happy time in our lives but this has caused us so much stress.

Room was not ready. We booked a double room and it is now 3:30, 30mins last check in time. They gave us a room with 2 twin beds pushed together. They said they will send someone to put a mattress topper on top to make it into a double bed but didn’t give us an ETA. I asked for complimentary drink vouchers while we wait as we flew in on a morning flight and are tired, they said no. Poor customer service for a 5star hotel. Room not ready and nothing to compensate the guest for waiting.

Very contemporary and clean, Great service! Amenities were well kept.

I booked this hotel for my family and I with the knowledge that it had a Spa, come to find out when we arrived that the SPA was under construction. Not good!

Gorgeous and the staff were lovely. The only issue was that our a/c didn't work properly. Would stay here again though!

Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and the restaurant A Terra was the best restaurant we ate at during our week's stay - traditional food updated and beautifully prepared with organic local sourcing; we ate there 3 times. Location is within walking distance of everything in the town.

Simply modern. Comfortable with great views. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar and pool were an added benefit. Restaurant had fab steaks and the breakfasts are difficult to top.

Was a great spot, met all my needs. Extremely clean and modern. Superior Breakfast Buffet

Very spacious rooms, Beds are excellent, very comfortable and large with tons of pillows. Great TV, safe, small refrigerator with water and local soda. No ice machine on the floors but if you call down they will bring you whatever you need. Front desk was the nicest I have ever encountered. Bathroom is dark and the lighting is tough. Shower is large but the door is weird. Balcony overlooking the marina is nice. Location is perfect to walk to everything. The Casino is nice but tiny, lthe smallest I have ever been in. The breakfast is excellent. There is something for anyone even with allergies. We also had dinner one night and it was just as good. Overall we had a great stay.

This was our last night in the Azores after returning from Porto. We checked in around midnight and would catch another flight back home the next day. We asked for late checkout and the staff were very accommodating. The room and public area were modern and stylish. Seaview faces the Cruise port. It is a lovely view! Breakfast was nice with lots of choices. We didn’t have time for the spa but it looks like a nice and relaxing space. The location is very central in downtown and we parked our car in their private garage. Overall we like this hotel!

Dear Kimberly, We would like to thank you the review and regret the delay on Check in time. We have been with an occupation of 100% and that's the main reason for some delays as it happen on your arrival day. When guests arrive we offer to store the luggage, water and coffee so they can relax or star discovering the city. Your remarks will allow us to improve and it's an instrument to measure our work and development. We hope to see you soon at Azor Hotel Regards Filipe Pacheco Deputy Hotel Manager
