Bonne adresse à Lajes do Pico.

Belle chambre lumineuse avec bonne literie. Piètre insonorisation de la paroi entre chambres. Grande salle commune avec café à disposition, possibilité de cuisiner. Proche des restaurants et parking proche. Accueil chaleureux de Barbara qui a été soucieuse de notre confort.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
On first glance it looked clean, but on further inspection it wasn’t at all. Mold in the bathtub and sink, hairs that weren’t ours. It needs a real good clean. Sounds from our neighbours were like they were inside our room. You can literally hear every word or cough. The location is perfectly fine on the other hand. Everything in Lajes within walking distance.
