サンミゲル島を堪能しました。
Pros:

スタッフの応対が親切で、おかげさまで快適に過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
年季は感じますか、お部屋も広く、使いやすくて清潔です。ケトルや外出用のバスタオルの貸し出しもありました。
朝食、夕食も利用したのですが、美味しかったです。
歴史地区の中央に位置するので、街の散策もたのしくできました。
私がラフすぎる格好で出入りしていので、その点ご迷惑おかけしたかと後悔していました。

Excellent location with friendly staff
Pros:

I loved the central location. Very convenient for the old town the shops and the harbour.

Cons:

It was noisy sometimes due to my room being near a very popular pizza place I suggest you request a room well away from that side of the hotel if you are a light sleeper.

Pros:

Ideal location in the old town. Immaculate hotel. Excellent reception and registration. My room was large, very comfortable and quiet. The hotel restaurant has a varied menu and serves very high quality meals and offers an excellent breakfast buffet. André, the head waiter/sommelier, has established a warm and welcoming dining environment. I highly recommend Hotel Do Colégio.

Pros:

Super Lage, tolles altes Gebäude, schöne große Zimmer, gutes Frühstück und nettes Personal- was will man mehr?

Cons:

Nur 2 Kleinigkeiten: es gab nur eine Sorte Tee (Azorean Tea), wir hätten gerne andere Sorten gehabt beim Frühstück. Die Garage beim Hotel ist eine Herausvorderung, einparken (mit Autolift) nur mit Anweisung. Ist aber der zentralen Lage geschuldet, in der Nähe gibt’s Outdoor- Parkplätze.

Tolles zentrales Hotel mit netten Personal und Pool
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in der Stadt, sodass man in 5 Minuten an allen zentralen Orten und Restaurants ist. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Alle sprechen gutes Englisch, sodass man auch ohne Portugiesisch Kenntnisse super klar kommt. Die Zimmer war sehr großzügig und sauber. Das ganze Hotel wirkte sehr sauber und ordentlich.

Cons:

Das Frühstück hätte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein können.
Auch wenn die Zimmer sehr schön sind, könnten die Bäder mal eine Renovierung vertragen.

The staff were amazing. They were super friendly and accommodating. They also recommended what became our favourite restaurant on the island.
The location was great, central and very easy to walk everywhere in Ponta Delgado.
There is parking at the hotel using a very quaint car lift system!

Not much to say
