Pros:

Not aesthetically all that, but very clean and comfortable and very central to every where you’d want to go.

The staff are the most amazing people I’ve come across. I had a casual chat with Kipsa( I hope I spelt it well ) and mentioned it was my birthday. He got the kitchen to make me a birthday cake which made my day and made me feel at home.

Would 100% recommend

Pros:

Etwas abseits vom Strand gelegen, aber ruhig. Zimmer geräumig. Netter Innenhof. Freundliches Personal. Frühstück: nicht angenehm, der Raum ist nicht für die vielen Gäste ausgelegt. Wenn man kommt, findet man nur dreckige Tische vor, überall Verbotsschilder, was man nicht darf, aber niemand bemüht sich, neuen Gästen einen sauberen Tisch zuzuweisen, man kommt sich nicht wie Gast sondern wie ein Bittsteller vor.

Enkelt men trevligt hotell
Pros:

Hotellet var trevligt, personalen var jättetrevlig. Den enda lilla nackdelen var väl egentligen att det inte fanns tillgängligt någon bra plats att sitta utomhus på.

Pros:

Great hotel for the price. Marble staircases and landings with good breakfast. Five mins to the beach and the restaurant strip. For good restaurant (shabby outside) out of hotel go right and first left. Then it’s on the left. Lots of other restaurants in area. Never had bad meal.
Hotel will collect from airport (20 min ride) for 20 euro.
Recommended.

Hotelli keskeisellä paikalla.
Pros:

Hotellin sijainti loistava. Aivan pääkadun läheisyydessä ei kuitenkaan turhaa hälyä, joten silti rauhallinen. Sisään ja uloskirjautuminen nopea. Aamiainen suppea mutta hyvä. Vihanneksia ja hedelmiä kaipasin. Suihkun paineet heitteli ja lavuari ei vetänyt kunnolla olivat suurimmat puutteet.

Good tourist hotel.
Pros:

Good tourist hotel.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Decent breakfast.
Good geographical location for exploring, but it is in the middle of a residential location where the locals are a bit noisy during the night, as are some of the stray dogs.
Other than that, no complaints at all.

Lovely small hotel in a local street in Santa Maria.
Pros:

Me and my daughter had a nice time in this small and lovely hotel. It is very central in Santa Maria. In only 5 minutes you walk to the pretty beach, where you have many nice places to eat or drink and visit shops. You can rent your material to go surfing, you can see where they catch the fish or you can rent a bike.
The weather is just perfect in december!
I liked the hotel because it’s in a local street and not in a desolate place with a big hotel.
(Most of the guests were Dutch, Scandinavian or German.)
The only small negative point is that it can be a bit noisy with children outside. But we slept fine every night.
In the area are several small supermarkets.
The people in the hotel are very friendly. Our room was nice and tidy. The small breakfast is good. The WiFi worked very well. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be close to the beach and restaurants and don’t need to much luxury. Thank you hotel Central for this nice Christmas in your hotel!

Pros:

Liked the location. The place is clean. Did not like dishonest hotel management charging twice for my room under the excuse of having a guest for about half hour. After complaining the next day, a refund was requested. Will never stay at this hotel again. Expedia should make note. The double room charge was fraudulent.

Sal
Pros:

Not very good experience and from cleaning the rooms with bleach and poor quality but quite expensive. The breakfast is poor and terrible with a serving lady very rude, acting she is giving the food free!! And not caring, no smile but rude and very late bringing in coffee and eggs and if you miss something it take loooong time to get it. They should be leaving the basic things out on the table so people could take themselves. Even the so called juice is not juice, a sugary drink she insist call juice. Very simple breakfast becomes a late something, Lots of children yelling outside and crowded people screaming but it is near the centre of Sal, maybe it is what it is. Very nice people in the city not violent and mostly calm.

Etwas spartanisch eingerichtet
Pros:

Das Personal ist äusserst nett: (Réception, Frühstücksservice, Zimmerpersonal).
Die Einrichtung ist etwas lieblos und spartanisch. Kein Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Die Vorhänge kann man nicht genügend öffnen und die Dusche ist unpraktisch, so dass viel Wasser neben die Dusche auf den Fussboden spritzt.
Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis okay.

Pros:

Det allra bästa var den vänliga och alltid hjälpsamma personalen. Frukost var fin. Bra AC som var mkt viktigt. Rummet med balkong och skön säng var rymligt och trevligt. Några minuter till centrum och stranden. Skönt att vara lite inne i stan där vanliga människor bodde. Tycker mer om dem än oss turister 😊 Wi-Fi fungerade utmärkt på rummet. Inga bekymmer. Hotellets atmosfär var underbar på grund av den kloka o snälla hotell chefen och den fina personalen. Jag var där i 26 nätter och kommer säkert tillbaka
