Central Guesthouse messaged me about a week to 10 days before our stay asking me when we would be checking in, and as it was a little late (9:30pm) they gave us instructions on how to let ourselves in. When we arrived later than anticipated we let ourselves in, no problem. But much to our surprise, the room was used - the throw pillows were on the floor, the sheets used, and towels strewn on the bathroom floor. I messaged the property and someone came promptly. Apparently the guests before us had checked out VERY late and the room had not been turned over. She asked for 15 minutes to clean the room. We parked our car (there’s a lot about a 5 minute walk away) and then waited downstairs. 15-20 minutes later our room was ready. The room has windows for walls and is on a busy street so you can definitely hear EVERYTHING happening outside. We’re heavy sleepers so it didn’t bother us much. You can also hear the other doors on the floor opening and closing. And we also had trouble with the shower not draining as others have mentioned. My partner is a rockstar and eventually got fed up and pulled out who knows what and then it drained better.

Seemed a bit expensive for what was offered (no breakfast/cafe da manha) but accomodation was extremely tight on Sao Miguel Island vs. Faial Island. A bit of traffic in the st. but I still slept well.

No front desk, bathroom was detached from the room even if it was a "private bathroom" we had to cross the hallway, there was no soap in the bathroom, the door of the shower was broken. Pretty noisy place. Fridge was disgusting. Pretty difficult to find parking on street but is a walkable distance to bars and restaurants. I would call it more a overpriced hostel.

Great location. Nice to be able to use a well appointed kitchen. I wish when I booked it was more clear that I would need to contact the owner prior to my arrival so that he could let us in. My under was that we could check in anytime after 2:00. Also, we found the wifi to be slow.

The man was quite rude when I received access to the property, as I had booked it at 11:30 at night and although it says 24hr reception, no one was there when I arrived and I was locked out. He has to drive there to meet you which is not explained on the booking app, but it says to check in before midnight, which I had arrived to the property a few minutes after booking and waited a while. Once I got in, I used the shared bathroom which was not at all clean, took a shower which didn’t drain the water and because it’s a standing shower, I had to make it quick as the gross water was about to overflow onto the washroom floor. The towel I used to dry myself was stained and then I had to use it to soak up all the nasty shower water that was pooled up in the bottom of the shower… so I definitely did not feel clean after that. The nice thing is that it is fairly central and close enough to things that make it super walkable. You do receive a key to lock your bedroom door, which is a plus as well.

HORRIBLE! There was No answer when we arrived to the property. Rang the doorbell and called multiple times. We have never been to Azores before and this made our stay extremely stressful. We ended up getting delayed from our flight and the airport. We arrived at night in a town we didn’t know and no one to help us except people on the street recommending different places to stay. I would never recommend this place to anyone! There’s beautiful hotels all around that I would stay at if we were to ever go back to Azores. This hotel has horrible customer service and I’m extremely disappointed by the lack of hospitality.
