The breakfast was good, plentiful and tasty. BUT there was zero variety, day to day. Always the exact same food. Rooms and hallways were quiet and we were beside the elevator - no problem. Get used to narrow streets and people walking everywhere but still respecting each other's space. Good variety of restaurants and bars all within walking distance but there are smokers everywhere and they smoke in the doorways but not inside a business. Weather is OK and changes by the minute. It is windier at the coastlines and Mountain peaks. Some roads are dangerous to drive, narrow and blind corners. Also had a tree across one road and a river rushing across the road. Not passable! Major roads are great with no problems!

The overnight staff on our first day when we arrived early in the morning due to our overnight flight was rude! He was so annoyed that we went to the hotel early morning! Where will we go at 6.00 AM on a Sunday morning? We kept our luggage there and explored the town after couple of hours! Thankfully we didn’t see him after that! Rest of the staff were very nice! Carpet in the room was very dirty! Breakfast- ok! The best part of the hotel was its location!

Beautiful Azores 2024

The experience was delightful. But Since we stayed for nine days the good breakfast became a bit repetitious. A little one new item a day would’ve made a little more exciting.

We liked the Juliette balcony that came with our room and the room was a good size with a nice couch and chair. The bathroom products smelled amazing and the shower was a great rainfall shower. The room would not let you turn the ac down to under 18C. While I know that sounds like it would be cool enough, it never gets below low 70'sF which made it very hard to sleep. The bed was very hard. The pool seemed nice and the building was interesting. The breakfast had great coffee or espresso and a nice selection of items. The renovated music school building is really nice with lots of great art and seating areas. It is walking distance to lots of good places to eat or shop.

Great start at hotel do Collegio

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Always happy to advise by request the best beach. Restaurant etc. To my surprise I thought there was a continental muffin and coffee. I was very wrong. They have scrambled eggs, lean bacon and sautéed mushrooms. You can request fried eggs or boiled. Also variety of cheeses, various breads that you heat by toaster. A coffee machine that has 15 selections of coffee, hot milk etc. Also a variety of fresh fruit and yogurt. A few cakes as well. Open from 7-10 breakfast was included. 1001 they transform all the tables for dinner service that goes from 6-10 but not just any dinner. A Japanese restaurant with sushi, udon and more. So good! They also have a cool outdoor swimming pool in the centre of the hotel. Open 8-8 I loved my stay here. I stayed in the superior room and there was lots of space and very nicely decorated.

Rip off

This hotel was over priced. I can’t believe the positive reviews it cost. It was so over priced. So dated. The carpet was dirty. The room and hallway smelled. The bathroom looked like a scene from the Brady bunch. Stuck in a time warp. There was no hot water in the shower. The staff at the front desk was helpful but that’s about it that’s positive about this hotel. Oh and the lobby was nice, which was deceiving because the rooms were old, dirty and dated.

One and done

This is a very good historical hotel. The staff were great. The only draw back was PARKING. Well, when they say parking it’s not what one thinks of. This was a very tight car elevator that brought you underground parking. Very tight and only fits I believe 6-8 cars. I parked once and that was it. Paid a lot of money downtown but worth not dealing with the tight parking.

Beautiful hotel in a restored school in historic area of Ponta Delgado. Close to center and many restaurants and several spectacular gardens. Helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful private pool. Sao Miguel is a paradise -- a little bit of Hawaii and a lot of Portugal.

We stayed at this hotel for 11 days for our 40th anniversary and the staff there were completely wonderful and helpful…. From guiding my husband in and out of the garage, to suggesting restaurants, or with any random question we had… no question was too much. They were always welcoming and polite. Breakfast was a special treat each morning and kept us full until dinner. We have no complaints that it was the same each day, as there was plenty to choose from. Once we got used to the closeness of the streets and the parking, we were good to go. Thank you Hotel do Colégio for a memorable anniversary!!! The Azores is beautiful, lush and memorable in every way.
