First rate hotel situated in the centre of town by the waterfront. Not noisy. Interesting and attractive art deco type décor. First class staff, very courteous and helpful. Staff can arrange tours etc. and are of more use than the Tourist bureau situated in town. Food is good. Pool on roof is small but that is not a problem.

We stayed at the Talisman for a week in early April and loved the hotel in evey way. It's in a great location in the older part of town, just five minutes from the waterfront and main square. The staff are friendly and clearly want you to enjoy your stay. I think we were lucky with our room - very... More

A very pleasant centrally situated hotel --the room(suite) was clean and spacious although not a great view due to the narrowness of the streets. We asked a taxi driver for a dining recommendation and he immediately said The Talisman which we had tried already for dinner and ended up eating there four times (try the steak on a stone). The...

When we arived, there was some confusion as to how many rooms/ half board query our travel agent had arranged. At first we were shown a room which was very clean but with a poor aspect. We asked if any other was available and were given a lovely room on the first floor.. We loved this hotel and our stay... More

A lot for the money. Good locations, excelent and friendly service from staff. Nice restaurant serving good meals . The top-roof was perfect for a quiet moment. If ever going back to Ponta Delgada, we'll stay there again. Recomended!

we recently stayed here for 6 days as part of a package. The best part of the Talisman is its location in the downtown area, convenient to everything. We appreciated the fact that they let us get into our room right away at about 8 in the morning after our red-eye flight. Unfortunately, it rained heavily at one point and... More

Our first impression was good because of the location and friendly staff. However we were disappointed with our room 210 that only had a window facing the inside of the hotel courtyard. Our room was also damp and cold, the AC helped but could not be kept on to keep the room warm for when we came back from trips... More

We would recommend Hotel Talisman as a modern, comfortable hotel with helpful staff, situated in a central but quiet location in the largest town in the Azores. Apart from the fact that the running water in our room was tepid rather than hot all other facilities in the hotel worked well. Breakfasts offered a reasonable choice of food, including the... More

Talisman is a bit off the beaten path - but a nice departure from some of the out-dated mod hotels in Ponta Delgada built over the last 10 years. Big, well appointed rooms. Great and helpful staff - nice breakfasts. Easy walk to all sites, the sea, and places to eat. They have lots of nice touches too, plus the... More
