Hotel Casa Hintze Ribeiro

My wife and I had a wonderful stay! The receptionist, bartender, and coffee shop workers were so nice and friendly. The hotel is in a great location on a quiet street. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends.

Hotel is well located in the center of Ponta Delgada couple of minutes from city gates. Property is well maintained, has garage (but challenging to get in and out and suitable for small cars). Rooms are good size, some kitchen amenities provided (water, tea, coffee, microwave, bottle opener, glasses, etc). Staff is very helpful. Breakfast is included

Enjoyed a superb eight night stay at this centrally located, welcoming friendly hotel. Superb comfortable accommodation, king size bed, free spa and great service, capped with a bottle of fizz on my wife's birthday. One minor issue is the lack of variety in the daily breakfast menu, which could be easily remedied, but overall highly recommended.

It was a great stay. I was thrilled to have parking. The parking is hard for some drivers. I prob wouldn't stay back in PDL but this hotel was great cause the street is on is lively but the windows stop all noise. Fun spot!

This place is GREAT! I can't say enough good things about it. The location is absolutely fabulous. Its right in the middle of town. Super easy to walk to lots of places. The rooms are a great size and the kitchenette in the suites was very useful. The staff was delightful and very helpful. We were a group of 10 people and they constantly helped us with restaurant reservations and such. They even helped us with a whole bunch of towels when we took a trip to the hotsprings! The hotel bar is quite fun. It has indoor and outdoor seating. And you even get parking! If you are going to Ponta Delgada, your search is over. This is where you want to stay.

It is truly a great hotel in that city, modern, super good location, great service Only negatives: Breakfast buffet was really not great. No ironing board available also.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great, the room was large (and the balcony was really nice for evenings), and we appreciated the hotel having parking (although the garage is a bit treacherous). It was also nice to have breakfast included (although I agree with other comments that I would have expected much better fruit, given the location/local production). One thing to watch out for: our room at least just had a slatted door for the bathroom, which wasn't great for a pair of friends. Would definitely recommend watching out for that depending on your group situation.

The hotel was clean and surprisingly quiet given its central location. The blue and white color combination throughout was a nice design choice. The bed was on the hard side, but was actually two beds pushed together so you can fall into the canyon in the middle of the night. The breakfast was ok, the variety of items was the normal selection but it wasn’t very tasty. There is a Spa area that you can reserve access in one hour time blocks. It’s a hot tub, sauna and steam room that also comes with shower and bathroom. The steam room was more of a stink room and so not usable. There is a rooftop pool that was nice. Parking-The listing says that there is free parking but in reality it’s not accessible (at least when I was there) because of random street closures that meant that the street in front of the hotel was inaccessible to cars and I had to park a couple blocks away. On that note a warning that the dense urban center is tough to drive around because of very narrow streets, one ways, and random street closures meant that google maps was nearly useless for navigation that I just got frustrated and parked the car and then walked the rest of the way to the hotel. My room, number 101, had a silly design flaw in that the bathroom walls were glass and so anyone else in the room can see you in the shower or sitting on the toilet. There is fogged glass that only goes 1/2 way up but that doesn’t really address the issue of seeing you or hearing bathroom noises.
