Stressful - as per Expedia, check in ends at midnight and to contact the property if you will be arriving after midnight. From Lisbon I messaged the property, they were very prompt to respond that their desk is manned 24/7 so I didn’t have to stress. We parked on the street - cheap and easy. The room was very nice - crisp but smelled horrible- musty dirty laundry smell. The thermostat was set to heat and could not change it to just fan - opening the balcony door helped. Loved the coffee and local pastry in the room - lovely b touch. Pillows were again smelly and very very hard. Breakfast was excellent !

Beautiful hotel in the heart of everything. On the water and popular avenue. Very clean and hotel staff were wonderful and always helpful. Beds were very comfortable. I stayed in the apartment style room. Bigger than i expected. I had the pleasure of staying there in November. If I had to find a fault, it was that the hotel changed the air conditioning to heat because of the time of year. I’m Canadian so I still found the temperature hot and could’ve used air condition for my full stay. Minor issue. It would be nice to control when I wanted heat or air conditioning. However opening the patio door helped cool it down. Just had to kill some flies

Lovely and clean in the heart of the downtown, across from the marina. Very busy (somewhat noisy) and walkable. Felt very safe in the area. Good sized suite that had a balcony that faced the marina. Spotless and the front desk staff were really helpful. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.

Hotel Gaivota is located right in the heart of Ponta Delgada and only a short drive to the airport. The location has restaurants, grocery store, souvenir shops, etc. on the same block. You can easily walk and explore the town from this location. There are also spots to easily rent a car, go whale watching, island tours, etc. We booked a one bedroom apartment and found the unit to be larger than expected. The room was spot less and very well kept. There were two air conditioners in the room for added comfort with the summer heat and humidity. The provided breakfast was excellent. Lots of cold and warm choices. Plus fresh fruit, fresh juices and large expresso machines. The other option was to order a la cart options rather than the buffet. There was lots of seating as well. All of the staff that we interacted with a warm, kind, patient and helpful. For parking, there is no hotel parking but you can pay to park on the street or park underground at a nearby lot which had lots of spots.

The hotel was great. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was basic, but adequate. You can eat the breakfast buffet or you can order off the limited menu. The room we stayed in was a 1 bedroom apartment with a small kitchen. It was clean and very functional. There is a grocery store next door so it was nice to have some food in the room. I would definitely come to this hotel again.

The view from the Balcony into the Marina and beyond was very nice from our room. Very nice room and it's amenities. All the desk/reception staff went out of their way to accomodate our needs and answer our questions. The only thing that was concerning were the panhandlers outside the door and on the street. Several times we were asked for money and noticed the same pair hiding in the shrubs across the street doing drugs.

Nice hotel. Would recommend

We had a nice stay at this property. We had a standard room which was small but adequate. Our main gripe was that the bed was tiny. The hotel advertises it as a double but we found it very small, and we are not big people. Why can't hotels provide bigger beds?? There's lots of space to accommodate them. Having said that, the facilities in the room were good. There was a safe, a fridge and a Nespresso coffee machine. Coffee pods were replaced daily when used. The bathroom was large with a tub and shower. The breakfasts were good with something for everyone's taste. However, although they have signs on the tables saying that you can have eggs done in a variety of ways, we were never offered these and had to settle for the eggs on the buffet table. The best part of the hotel is its location. Its right on the main street promenade and all the city sights are easily walkable. Plenty of restaurants close by especially at the marina across the road. Staff were helpful and friendly. There's a supermarket next door. All in, if you dont mind a small bed, I can highly recommend this hotel.
