Great hostel in the city center with great staff.
“Great location in the old town center. Spacious room with a bathroom and kitchen on the same floor, shared by only two rooms. Fully equipped. Our host, Ricardo, was very friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect. Great hostel!
Maybe one thing that could be improved is better lighting inside the room - it was too dark.

Great location, good breakfast and helpful staff
Fantastic location just up the road from one of the prettiest churches in the city (Igreja do Colégio) and just minutes from cafes, restaurants, car rental outfits and mini markets. Also a few minutes' walk from a free (all day and night) car park.
Really good free breakfast (bread, cheese, meats, yoghurt, cereal, fruit and fresh coffee) and staff are super helpful in recommending places to visit.
WiFi also works well throughout.
My only complaint is that there was no lock on our private room (although there was a locker inside) and the towels were not replaced during our 7-night stay.

Un peu déçu
Nous avions fait le choix de cet hébergement par rapport au tarif et à la situation géographique dans Punta DelGada, nous avions réservé une chambre avec salle de bain privée, au final la salle de bain était commune avec une autre chambre, le petit déjeuner est très sommaire Avec uniquement des yaourts local pour le reste, produits industriel, dommage, on s’attendait à autre chose! Le seul point positif est la situation géographique qui permet de visiter la ville à pied, ainsi que tous les arrêts touristiques, jardin botanique, le marché, port de plaisance, de nombreux bons restaurants aux alentours.
Nous avons apprécié le calme de l’hébergement.
Comme il n’y a personne sur place, nous avons dû donner une horaire pour effectuer le check. In, ce qui est vraiment dommage, car quand on est en mode vacances, on a plutôt envie d’oublier l’heure, surtout que c’était une journée randonnée, suivie d’une baignade en piscine naturelle, on a obligé de gérer la journée avec une horaire.
Attention à l’ascenseur, nous sommes restés bloqués le matin où il nous a fallu partir à 5h du matin pour aller prendre notre vol, un gros moment de panique.
Nous avions prévenu lors de notre réservation, soit deux mois à l’avance que le départ de l’avion étai très tôt et qu’on aurait souhaité un petit déjeuner à emporter finalement l’hôtel nous a averti la veille de ne pas avoir de pain uniquement un yaourt et un fruit.
La partie cuisine, partie commune, laisse à désirer en terme de propreté.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble y súper buena. Volveré a repetir alojamiento sin duda alguna y lo recomiendo encarecidamente a todos los viajeros. Ricardo y Alex son súper amables y dispuestos a ayudarte con todo. Muy atentos y muy cuidadosos. El desayuno está genial, la habitación y el Hostel en sí muy muy limpio.

Estuvimos en el tercer piso, la estancia es básica pero tiene lo necesario. Dispone de cocina solo para dos habitaciones. Super atentos con nosotros en todo momento. Perfecta ubicación y parquin gratuito a 5 min.

Hostel som låg väldigt centralt. Frukosten kändes något ofresh- allt stod framme huller om buller på ett matbord. Diskmaskinen funkade ej och det gick inte att låsa in dina saker på rummet.

Great location, great staff, clean hostel
Excellent staff and great location for this clean hotel/hostel. Breakfast was just OK, without much organization and clarity, but it existed which is nice for an adventurous vacation. Great private kitchen on our floor that we shared with just another double room (also shared a bathroom with that room) and the view from the kitchen was great!

New, clean, & excellent location!
This newly renovated hostel was an awesome start to my Azores trip. It was €9 by taxi from the airport. There's shared toilets and showers on each floor, which were always clean with plenty of hot water. There's an elevator to get your luggage upstairs. And the AC worked GREAT! (You're on a tropical island, so I suggest closing windows and using the air at night since Europeans don't have screens on their windows.)
The breakfast was plentiful for a hostel with bread, cheese, ham, jam, and butter. There was also fruit, yogurt, and cornflakes, coffee. There's a full kitchen if you want to cook and a mercado just around the corner to do your shopping. There's a pretty great and inexpensive burger place across the alley, so if you arrive hungry in the evening, that's an easy fix.
Gala, the house-mom/Herbergsmütti is super friendly and will answer all your questions with a warm smile! Her friendliness along with the guests made it a lot of fun! You'll easily meet others to do activities with, regardless of age.
Location is prime, so you can walk downhill to the city square, gate, and waterfront in 10 minutes. If you arrive by ferry, I'm guessing it's 20ish minute walk. Don't get a rental car until you're ready to go out of Ponta Delgada because parking is limited in the small streets, but you can park cheaply underground along the waterfront.
