Great hospitality. Only problem was finding a place on the street close to hotel. But, free public parking is available within 10 minutes of walking.

This was such a beautiful hostel. Everything was so clean, nicely decorated, and perfectly organized. There were such nice little touches all over the hostel. Breakfast was always lovely. Goncalo was a wonderful host who was always available for tips on what to do on the island. The hostel was just on the edge of the historic city center - very walkable - and it made for nice quiet nights.

Da ich am nechsten Tag gleich weiter fliegen musste, bin ich nur eine nacht im Hostel geblieben. Ich kam an nach Mitternacht, ausserhalb der Oeffnungszeiten der Rezeption, dies war natuerlich kein Problem, denn ich erhielt einen Code fuer die Eingangs- und Zimmertuer. ich war sehr muede und hungrig von der Reise und auf dem Kuechentisch lagen Broetchen, Kekse und Obst fuer mich, worueber ich mich sehr freute. Auch wenn ich nur sehr kurz blieb, das Hostel ist sehr gemuetlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, es ist sehr sauber, der Besitzer ist sehr herzlich und man hat das Gefuehl Zuhause zu sein. Ich wuerde dieses Hostel auf jeden Fall wieder buchen falls ich einmal zurueckkomme.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt, sehr freundliche Gastgeber
Die Gastgeber kontaktierten uns frühzeitig, um das Check-in zu organisieren. Wie vereinbart wurden wir um Mitternacht freundlich erwartet. Zimmer sauber und in gutem Zustand, etwas klein.

Un séjour au TOP !
Nous avons passé un super séjour ! Propreté impeccable, décoration simple et jolie, petit déjeuner délicieux :) Nos hôtes étaient très gentils et serviables. Gonzalo a la main sur le coeur, un rayon de soleil dès le matin. Il a toujours été là pour nous conseiller de superbe endroits lors de notre séjour.

Super endroit !
Super séjour à the Holy Cow ! Le lieu est top, bien décoré, pratiquement neuf. Les hôtes sont adorables, super accueillants, ils nous ont indiqué les endroits où aller dans Ponta Delgada, ils nous ont été d’une grande aide pour gérer un malheureux imprévu. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés :)
