3-Star Hotels in Ponta Delgada

The hotel has a good environment, friendly service at the front desk, and fluent English. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the beach. The indoor swimming pool and surfing facilities are recommended. The front desk can rent bicycles (cheaper than outside). It is very convenient and highly recommended.

We were very happy with the service. The receptionists were all very helpful, especially Bruno, and the room and beds were very comfortable too. When we requested a mini fridge, they efficiently provided us with one. The only thing we didn't like was the fact that we, as hotel guests, still had to pay €4 to park our car inside. This should have been free for hotel guests.

We stayed for only one night due to its proximity to the airport, as we were travelling on the next day. The location is superb, being very central and within walking distance of everything you will require. Turn right on exiting, and you are a 2 minute walk to the port area with all its restaurants, bars, and also a lot of street food on offer, there is also a public swimming area in the harbour. Turn left on exiting, and you immediately have a choice of two cheap breakfast locations. Walk the side streets for bars, restaurants, and entertainment. The reception and breakfast staff are really fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, which is worth a few stars alone. Our room on the 3rd floor was fine, it was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable and the bedding of good quality. The ensuite was again fine, not luxurious but equipped with everything you require. The room generally was a bit soulless, looking over the rear of the hotel and pretty basic, but then we were there on holiday, the plan never was to spend much time in the room. The breakfast is a standard buffet type breakfast that's perfectly adequate but won't blow your socks off, many alternatives exist close by. No onsite parking provided but paid parking available close by. The hotels location and staff make up for any shortcomings that may, or indeed may not exist. Just enjoy the convenience it offers and relax.

We selected the Canadiano on the advice of a friend. I'm pleased to report that it was a very pleasant, comfortable hotel for our 6 night stay in Ponta Delgada. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were well kept. They offer complimentary breakfast for their guests. If you want to spend your days exploring, not trying to find somewhere to have breakfast, this is welcomed feature. We rented a car to explore the island and they have ample free parking. It doesn't have a great view of anything and it doesn't have a swimming pool. So if you're not planning to leave your hotel, this probably isn't the best choice. But, I can't image anyone going to Sao Miguel just to stay in the hotel - there is so much to see. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit this beautiful island.

I was very pleased by this hotel! As the town itself is small, I found that I could easily walk to the main drag, a shopping mall, and even a pineapple farm easily from here. The staff were all very professional and friendly, and they cleaned my room every day. The price was great, the breakfast was decent, and the bathroom was nice, clean and spacious. The air conditioning worked very well (I was here in the summer). And did I mention how friendly and clean everything was!? I hope I can stay here again!

Stayed for a week in February 2024. Communication was excellent. No issues with the passcode. My room looked over the street but street noise never bothered me (I’m a sound sleeper). Lots of paid parking availability in the neighbourhood. Street parking is free after 7 PM. Everything is walkable. Shopping, food, pier, points of interest. I received a breakfast basket every morning by 8 AM. Water was hot. No signs of any insect infestation as mentioned by other reviewer. Room was cleaned every 2 days. The housekeeper was polite and efficient. This not a 5 star resort. It is located downtown so you get the good (location, culture, access to food and drink, walkability) with the bad (some panhandlers, people partying on the street, no room service or on site concierge). But I felt safe and the staff were only a WhatsApp message away. They responded promptly. This a 3 -4 Star hotel and I knew that going in. My 5 Star review is based on the fact that they provided what was promised. A clean room; great location; daily breakfast; and safety. I have already booked a return trip to their sister property, Casa Ateneu, for January 2025. Shout out to Elisabete, Hugo, and Nuno for their prompt replies concerning my recent booking. ( I had some difficulties with the foreign fund transfer!)

Wanted: a conveniently-located comfortable hotel. Found: the Hotel Matriz. Flight delays from Lisbon meant I arrived after midnight but the night manager took care of all my needs. A comfortable room but looking out on a major building project - the only thing to see from my window. I didn't come here for the view, so no problem (although the noise at my siesta time was a bit invasive). In the room, everything I would expect of this category hotel. Breakfast was adequate but, after a week, it gets a bit repetitive. Car parking (free) is three floors below the hotel and best if the rental car is SMALL! Would I stay there again? ABSOLUTELY!
