No reception, but online service is as good as possible given they work office hours. The facilities themselves are good, clean and modern. Small louge and kitchen area available.

The location was good..room was nice and clean but big issue with no hot water and when I told staff.The reply was let it run a few minutes and it will get hot. It was cold the entire time...disappointing.

Ubicación excelente

El hotel está muy bien, amplio y limpio. Ubicación excelente, quizás en temporada alta pueda ser ruidoso por la ubicación tan céntrica. Los propietarios muy amables respondiendo en todo momento a cualquier necesidad.

Fantastic place. Fantastic location. You will have to find and pay for parking downtown, but there are places to park pretty close.

Good but can be loud music at weekends

Good option in town but it can be loud music on a Friday and Saturday night until around 4am if you have a room on the front. The other nights were okay. Our room had no mirror, bin or sink in the room. There is a kitchen and a lounge. Good location when not a weekend.

Nice place to stay but a little hot...

Our stay was really good except that our room did not have a fan or AC and it was extremely stuffy. Worse, there were some really hot days in PD while we were there. Otherwise, the place was clean and we enjoyed using the kitchen. It was nice to be in the heart of the city.

Good location to be in the center of the town. Easy check-in. Very, very, very noisy, i only slept 2 hours because of all the noise (people coming in and out). No insonority at all.
Fil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at property for one night as a layover from Terceira back to California. Stayed in apt. A1. Room provided plenty of room for 3 adults and two teenagers. Very modern interior, with plenty of amenities and comfortable. Heard music and yelling from disco down the street around 3:00 AM, but really just due to location. Only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, was the shower drained very slowly, which caused water to overflow floor pan onto bathroom floor... made for short showers. More of a maintenance issue really. Happy with stay overall.
Leon, 1-night trip

Algumas pessoas com que entrei em contato eram simpáticas, como Carolina e Ana. O espaço do quarto era razoável, embora sem mesa, cadeiras ou geladeira

4/10 Fair

Liked that it was in central location, but at the same time. It was really noisy, no sound barrier, could hear everything. People walking a lover the place, flushing walking up and downstairs. Outside noise level really annoying especially if you’re really trying to rest and sleep. No a/c no fans, and we were told not to open windows, stuffy. Could sleep noise level outside until 4am. Would not stay there again.

Don’t risk ruining your holiday by staying here

Let’s be clear, Casa da Matriz is nothing more than a very, very expensive hostel, and it’s barely that. There is no lobby, there is no one on site if you have a problem. Here is where you take the risk. As there is no one on site there is a piece of paper with two numbers to call if you have a problem. We soon realized there was no hot water and called one of the numbers. We were told someone would be by to fix the water within 10 minutes. An hour later no one had stopped by. I called both numbers for the next 20 minutes, no one answered. It would be 2 DAY, YES, TWO DAYS before we would have hot water. Let’s return to the point that again, this “hotel” is most certainly not a hotel, it’s a hostel. The walls are paper thin and you hear EVERYTHING that is going on. In fine hostel fashion there is an extra bed stored in the room that was not requested and a closet full of broken hangers and pillows without pillow cases. The bathroom door doesn’t open all the way because it hits the sink and the toilet doesn’t stop running until you go and physically lift the lid off the toilet and mettle with the plug. The bed is like sleeping on a pyramid, for some reason the middle protrudes and drops along the sides. Finally, I would add that I sent two messages to the administration to explain to them what happened and how inappropriate I found it to pay so much for a 2 days without hot water. Both messages were completely ignored. So stay here at your own risk.

HOTEL WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN WE ARRIVED

We traveled over 24 hours to the Azores and when we finally arrived (tired and in need of sleep), we were told our room was not available. The property manager shuttled us 30 minutes away and out of town to another location and asked it this room would be ok. We booked this room so that we would be in the city center not 30 minutes away so the replacement was unacceptable. I had to drive back to town and book another hotel to be able to stay where we wanted. This is a horrible let down and I probably won't book with Expedia ever again. In regards to the property in Ponta Delgada, Andre tried his best to make it work so kudos to him!
