Pousada de Angra do Heroismo Castelo de S. Sebastiao

The location directly in the old fortress is really amazing. You're above the city, in peace and quiet, and still 5 min walking to the center. The evenings at the fortress were magical... :) Otherwise, the hotel has a good standard - spacious rooms, reasonable beds and good sound isolation. It is not super lux but correct and comfy. Restaurant is really pleasant for dining, the breakfast didn't have that much variety, but ok. Overall excellent price/quality ratio.

Excellent room and view. Very quiet (our major requirement). Very good breakfast. Very friendly - and helpful - staff. A very nice surprise: music only in the restaurant, well chosen, and not loud. (In the past, I've stayed in Pousadas with music in all spaces - and did complained about this in the evaluation. So this is a plus and other Pousadas should follow this example.) The WiFi worked perfectly.

We had a sea view which was excellent. The weather was changeable and so we could see the ocean in its different moods! The room was well appointed and thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis. All the staff we met during our stay were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a treat with a good range of hot and cold food, sweet and savoury and some interesting Azorean bits to try out. The setting was really lovely, the hotel is concealed behind the walls of a 17th century fort and we were able to walk along the walls of the fort - great for pictures. There were two small swimming pools for children and adults and access to the town was a 10-15 minute walk along the sea front. Would thoroughly recommend the experience.

View was fabulous; room was airy and comfortable; breakfast was excellent; location was amazing - not only picturesque but easy walking to town, marina, restaurants. Small swimming pool fit the bill, and walking the walls of the fort was something truly exceptional. We went on a boat trip with the hotel's recommended tour operator to the Goat Islands - a small but safe open boat, marvelous visit inside a cave on the island and swimming in the blue sea.

Nicely converted old Fort overlooking the ocean. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Beautiful views of ocean and over parts of the old city. Easy to get around and walk in town, but be ready for hills and uneven cobblestone. Staff were friendly and the buffet breakfast offered lots of variety and no shortage of food.
