The hotel is located at the end of the Horta harbor. From our window we had a nice view of Pico. Not to many restaurants close by, but the hotel restaurant was ok. One problem was no lunch service. Found snacks at to coffee house two blocks away. The hotel was adequate, but not as much fun.

Hotel do Canal is a good hotel (I would consider between average and very good) and a very good hotel if you consider the offer in Horta! It is a "big" hotel with more then 100 rooms, with some groups... Rooms are nothing special (as in many other hotel rooms...) but the room service was very good (eg: the lady... More

But there are a few downsides. Our room, adjacent to a alley that stinks (a bit) Rooms are very small. No value for money. Within walking distance of the marina. There are 6 whale wathing comps. Everybody follows the same whale. Peter Zee uses a big boat (with toilet), the others zodiacs.

The Hotel do Canal is between Porto Pim and Horta downtown. They have a free garage, a gym and a jacuzzi, though not a pool. We've been ther on the sea week (Semana de Mar) so we were 5 minutes walking from the street restaurants and shows, but in a quiet area where you can sleep seamlessly even at 11... More

The location of the hotel is lovely and he rooms are overall okay. The room service is inacceptable. Our room was not cleaned before 3 p.m twice. During our stay for three days the minibar was not filled up even once. All the bottles with empty drinks of the minibar were left in the room by the cleaning stuff though... More

Rooms are small. The balcony = 1 square m. The walls are thick. Nevertheless you hear the talking from adjacent rooms. View on a smelly street. Restaurant is a bit airless. TUI unloads every day 100 tourists. They bought a package. Every day the hotel is full. Breakfest is good, champagne. You can order espresso!! a dull hotel. Hit the... More

We'd been on other islands staying in small family run hotels. While these were great, arriving here was like finally arriving in civilization. The room has AC? A phone in the bathroom? A full sized tub with a shower curtain? Wow! Breakfast was included for us, and had the largest variety of food we saw for breakfast all trip. We... More

We were lucky enough to stay in a room with views of Pico and the port area. The hotel has been renovated to a very high standard and offers comfy large beds, superior bathrooms and friendly staff. The absence of a pool was a disappointment but we walked to Porto Pim beach 200 meters along a small road. The breakfast... More

A good hotel near the marina. From here it is easy to go and spot whales ans folfins. A very rich breakfast, with a lot of choise. Also a good kitchen, although there are good restaurants nearby. Confortable rooms, and good to rest. Cleaningservice is rather early in the morning. Odd thing is that internet is free, and you have... More
