We stayed at the Fayal Hotel in July 2011. Lovely room with balcony overlooking the harbour and bay with Island of Pico beyond. Hotel is a short walk to the ferry terminal - we managed easily even with luggage. Staff were very helpful with advice about excursions. The hotel is centrally located and within easy walking distance of the marina,... More

2008 & 2009 This is an excellent hotel, very comfortable. We did only stay bed and breakfast and occassionally ate in the hotel but found it quite expensive but convenient if you don't want to head down into the town. Swimming Pool was lovely nice viewpoints. The first 2 stays we overlooked pico in a lovely room and the 3rd... More

Our 4-day stay at the Fayal Hotel was enjoyable. We had a nice quiet room with a huge terrace overlooking the harbour and the whole bay as well as Pico Islands. Very attentive service, delicious breakfast buffet. The Fayal Hotel is located close to the ferry and bus terminal as well as within walking distance of a a big supermarket. More

It is not worthy a four star hotel. The location is good and the amenities are also nice (pool outside and inside). But the food in the restaurant is average, the pool bar is closed or without anyone to attend your order, and the rooms definetly need a make-over... We had a bug on the room and noone seemed to...

We stayed for four nights in September and found this a very comfortable and friendly hotel. It's excellently situated for the city and harbour areas. it's also worth going out through the road exit, going slightly uphill then turning right if you want to get to the eastern end of town. If you want a view of Pico it's from... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in August/September 2011. Beautiful hotel, centrally located, and a very gracious staff. The pools are wonderful. An easy walk to the port of Horta. More

The hotel is huge and it has a magnificent view. From the balcony we can see the Pico Island, the harbour and the pool. The service at reception and at the restaurant should improve a lot. We were supposed to have a room with this great view and also with air con. The problem was that the AC was broken... More

Nothing wrong with the hotel itself: nice location with great views and a short walk from the center of Horta. Service at the restaurant is fine and so was the breakfast. The rooms are spacious and if you are lucky you get a room with a stunning view towards Pico. But, if expect to feel welcome or get friendly service... More

The hotel is in an extended historic building overlooking the marina and bay in Horta. There are fabulous views over to the island of Pico from the restaurant , outdoor pool and some of the rooms. It is billed as a four star but although pleasant and comfortable in no way would I consider it comparable to four stars in... More
