We started off very well, as the hotel gave the exact room we had requested. Wood-floored room had modernist furniture, in keeping with the modern design of the hotel within the 16C fort. Large bathroom. Quality materials used throughout. Great view from the balcony included sunrises 2 mornings out of 4. Enjoyed evening meals at hotel on several occasions and can state that preparation of fish was of a good standard. Fair bit of creativity and attention to detail in the kitchen. Same can be said for the breakfast included in price. There was a good variety each morning and attempt to offer something different each day. Fresh orange juice was a treat; coffee was not (and espresso, unusually in a Pousada, is an extra charge). If you here on a Sunday night, the fado dinner is top notch: musicians, vocalists and meal including wine. Great integration of the newish hotel inthe old fort. Warm and friendly staff.
CanadaGreat food and drink. Friendly staff. Historic surroundings.
United KingdomGreat value for money, comfortable and spacious rooms with a little terrace overlooking the swimming pool and the sea, very quiet area - yet close enough to the centre of Angra, fabulous breakfast, and last but not least, really nice and warm staff.
United KingdomGood space in the room. To start git a suit with a smell of mold . Got the possibility to change room.
SwedenFantastic location and very quiet. Very easy to walk into the town centre.
United KingdomLarge and comfortable room with lovely view. So special to be staying in an old fortress. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff.
United KingdomWe got an upgrade to a better room but I suspect all rooms were similarly well finished. We had sea view, plenty of space, comfortable bed, air con, lovely bathroom. The staff were amazing. The pool was small but very pleasant for relaxing at the end of the day. The breakfast did the job. The restaurant provided us with an excellent lunch when we arrived and the waiter couldn't be more helpful. This hotel really elevated our stay in Angra.
United KingdomLocation, beautiful. Room totally fine, breakfast is amazing.
NetherlandsI had never slept in a historical site. Walking in the fortress at night and listening to the sea and the sea birds was lovely. They nicely integrated the hotel in the historical site, even with a small pool to cool down on hot days.
BelgiumI just left a two night stay at Pousada de Angra do Heroismo astelo de S. Sebastiao. The views are lovely. The staff is courteous and helpful. The pool is great. The only thing lacking at the hotel is a gym, but I instead just walked and ran in Angra. Highly recommended!
