Great location and good view of the harbour from the double room.
Breakfast was plentiful and a wide choice.
The boutique 4-star Hotel do Canal is situated in Horta on Faial Island. It is just 100 metres from the beach and offers panoramic views of Pico Mountain and the bay.

Great staff, very helpful, had parking, 10 minutes walk to port
Set in a 16th century fortress overlooking Horta Bay and Pico island, this Pousada hotel features a swimming pool and regional restaurant. Most of the air-conditioned rooms have views of the marina.

We first had a normal room, but these were really a bit small. For 50 Euro a night extra we got a suite, which is like an apartment and has a separate bedroom and a big balcony. You have a spectacular view on mount Pico and the harbour. The staff are very nice, the building is an old fort and the entire feeling is one of a Spanish Parador. To be honest, I believe this is one of the few luxury hotels on Faial (but I did not visit all the others:)). When you leave, there are plenty restaurants and bars in walking distance. The restaurant of the hotel is also very good, but the menu is very very short and did not change during our stay. We got a later check out without trouble.
Featuring a shared lounge, terrace and views of sea, Hotel São Francisco is located in Horta, 1.2 km from Praia da Conceição. The accommodation provides an ATM, and luggage storage for guests.

Very furnished common areas, everything clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very kind to let us leave the luggages untill evening, and then to allow us to stay in the same room after our ship was canceled.

A wonderful hidden island for people who like the silence, the hiking and the mountains. Beware that the supermarkets have few things.
Azores are expensive to live, because of few available homes and the prices raise up.

Loved the old city...however, construction was taking place which made getting around by car a little confusing. Loved walking around the waterfront and seeing the famous marina as well as the artwork created by mariners. Shopping in the local stores was a good experience with prices that you don't feel taken advantage of. Shopping in the city's Mercado was also a nice experience. Trying new restaurants around the city was also a good experience. While there, rent a car...best way to get around as public transportation is not regular or abundant. Also, try to visit the neighboring island of Pico on the ferry and spend a few days there...lots to see.

Island more quiet than Sao Miguel, felt more centered around the sea. A good mix of sea and land. A few good walks along the shore or around a caldera or inland. Unusual landscapes. The roads are very good compared to Sao Miguel.

We have now visited Horta 13 times in eight years, and will continue to visit in coming months/years. For a small city in the middle of the North Atlantic, Horta has a very welcoming feel, and is an ideal base for people wanting to visit the central group of Azorean Islands.
It's easy to walk around, and the rest of the island of Faial is accessible through day tours, e.g. with Azores Experiences who we would highly recommend. There are whale and dolphin watching trips from March - October, together with walking tours, Caldeira descent (which requires a formal guide and cannot be done alone), and a visit to the volcano and interpretation centre at Capelinhos is a must.
There are a good number of excellent restaurants (Atletico, Medalhas, Genuino, Taberna do Pim, etc.) and the Oceanic bar and restaurant (their barbecue is superb) to try locally caught fish and local beef. For a good value breakfast or lunch, there are plenty of small cafes (e.g. Cafe Silva, behind Peter's Cafe) which offer great hospitality.
If the weather is good and you fancy a relaxing day, there is also the beach at Porto Pim, which is used regularly by visitors and locals alike.

Nice little layd back town with astounding views of the islands Faial and Pico with their different and mystifying volcanoes, over the ever present calming ocean sights and sounds. Friendly locals serve all kinds of traditional and popular dishes and snacks, and offer quality lodging depending on your wishes and wallet. With a rental car, taxi or public transport it's easy to visit interesting geological, natural and cultural locations spread around the island. There is a lot of time and space there to come to yourself or interact with the local community.
This is a great property up on a hill near everything in Horta. I had a spacious room on the second floor with a lovely balcony and view of the harbor. I was going to pay 40 euros for a sea view of Pico island but I'm glad I didn't. It was overcast and Pico wasn't visible at all during the three days I stayed. The hotel grounds are spacious and parking was free. The location is amazing. Breakfast was included and I loved the selection of food. The hotel staff were nice.
We highly recommend this accomodation. Everything is very clean, everywhere nice details in the house which make you feel like home. The owner and the staff are very friendly. The garden and the pool invite you to relax there. In addition to that the breakfast is also good and the location - it is really close to Horta. So you are in a quiet place away from the city, but with the car it only takes you 5-10 minutes to Horta. We would definitely stay here again!
Filipa and Victorio were very helpful and welcoming. Victorio took the time to show us the apartment and the property. The property is big and very well maintained with great view of Pico with a roof top terrace. The apartment is clean and well decorated (on a modern stype), the 2 bedrooms have private bathrooms and that is very useful. The location is not far from Horta and very quiet. The Portuguese bread is a nice touch.
The location of this hotel could not be beat! Right on the main street in Horta with easy access to cafes and restaurants. Overall we enjoyed the room, it was very spacious with great windows to let in natural light. I'd recommend booking the bed and breakfast package because the breakfast was fairly substantial and kept us full until the afternoon.
This is a great place to stay in Horta. The location couldn't be more central to all the nice places. Always found parking right under the apartment. The check-in process was smooth. The room was spacious and stocked. I would highly recommend asking for a sea facing room on the 2nd level from which you can see the ocean and Pico on a clear day.
I stayed there for the second time and hope to return in the future. The apartment has everything you need and is very clean. The location is excellent - two minutes to the beautiful Porto Pim beach. There's a nice bakery around the corner and a local snack bar. Peace and quiet. Close to the marina of Horta and the Entre Montes touristic trail.
Everything was perfect, the lady at the reception which was very sweet, the super modern and comfortable room, the common and fully equipped kitchen and living room with an amazing view on Porto Pim and Monte da Guia, the nice touch with the free coffee all day long.
Really, the best stay in the Azores for us ! With a great price for value.
Elena and Gerry are amazing hosts. They are very friendly and gave us so many good tips about food, places to visit, experiences and more. They also helped us to find the best time for whale and dolphin watching and made the reservation for us. AMAZING. thank you so much for hosting us. It was the best stay in Azores!
A very nice resort just at the harbor and Horta center for great money. Everything in walking distance. No problem with parking in May. Outstanding breakfast. Nice swimming pools, jacuzzi, sauna, etc. We stayed in one of the villas there. The room was very comfortable with a small terrace.
A beautiful hotel in a historical house located in front of Horta's marina, so you have easy access to all the main sights and places of the city. A very spacious room, comfy beds, a clean and modern bathroom. Views over the bay are great.
The welcome by the hostess was very warm and friendly by Maria. The breakfast was delicious and sufficient. Every day my room was fresh and cleaned. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay carefree in the Azores.
Afonso was very welcoming and always available to help. The house is close to Horta town by car and from natural swimming pools. It has an amazing garden! The rooms are big with private bathrooms.
This hotel is right on the harbour in a great location. Everything about it was good for us. Great breakfast, comfortable room and pleasant staff. Secure parking.
