The room has little natural ventilation, there is always a musty odor. They must make some reformulations in order to solve this problem. Also in terms of breakfast service, they should use tablecloths on the tables and not serve breakfast directly on the glass tables.

We loved our stay here. The reception staff are so helpful. They put us in touch with a lovely family (Miriam and family) who provide a wonderful taxi service all over the island. They are the best place to go for any advice. Food was very good. But the best part was the amazing views from the dining room which looks out across the swimming pool to Mt Pico. The clouds change by the minute and the sunsets are fabulous. Take your camera. You can sit inside or out. You get the same view from rooms facing the harbour. Highly recommended!

Working this time. That´s not the first time that I came to Faial to work. since the hotel that my company uses was full, I choose Pousada for staying, because I already stayed there during vacation time this year. This is simply an amazing place to stay, I just love them. To all the Staff - They are so nice. Breakfast is very complete, a lot of options. The room was so nice and clean. Thank you very much. I will stay again!!

We loved our time at Pousada da Horta — the location is stunning, with views over the marina and Pico Island. The building has historic charm, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Special thanks to Rui Rodrigues, who was absolutely exceptional — professional, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended!

We stayed one night at Pousada Forte de Horta and absolutely loved it. The hotel is full of character with a unique historical charm — you really feel like you’re stepping into a piece of Azorean history. The location is unbeatable, right inside a fortress overlooking the marina, with a breathtaking view of Pico Island across the water. The room was comfortable, the staff friendly, and the atmosphere peaceful. Wish we had more time here!

Great stay in Pousada da Horta, the staff are great, very professional The reception gives you a lot of information, if you are planning to go to another island or maybe to have a tour around Faial, they simply make it happen easily. I also used the restaurant. They have a breakfast with a lot of options, the staff is very nice, and I also had lunch, the food was very good and well served. That was a wonderfull stay!!!!

The hotel is in the old Fortress in Horta. It's in a great location and the rooms are very comfortable. The breakfast was great with some real flavour and local specialities on offer. Dinner was good but the service was a little slow. I would stay again!
