Alojamiento limpio

Es un sitio básico para pasar un par de noches, sin lujos. Limpio y cómodo, bien ubicado y sin fomentar la ocupación de espacio contra los locales.

Correcte mais vétuste

Personnel très agréable et attentionné. Pratique qu'il y ait une permanence sur une longue période à l'accueil. Chambre et hôtel correcte mais très vétuste et cher vu la "vieillesse" de l'établissement. Le pain du petit déjeuner était tultra sec. Etablissement très bien situé pour aller dans le centre ville (Horta) et à la plage à pied.

Satisfaisant pour un court séjour. Ce n'est pas le grand confort mais les chambres sont grandes et propres. A proximité du centre ville (10mn), d'un restaurant et d'un supermarché. Le rapport qualité prix est donc justifié.

Alojamento modesto

A residencial é muito simples, com mobília antiga, mas é suficientemente cómoda e está bem localizada. O pequeno almoço é muito pobre, mesmo tendo em conta a categoria do estabelecimento. Uma opção a ter em conta em época alta, quando o preço dos alojamentos na Horta está muito inflacionado, se o objetivo for apenas ter um sítio limpo e central para dormir. Destaco a seriedade de terem informado a hoteis.pt da nossa ausência na primeira noite.
