This is another "contact-less" guesthouse with no resident staff. I got in on my own via a code to the outside door and my room. The kitchen area was spectacular with all the latest equipment and appointments. I had a nice view over the water and nearby volcano. The room was spartan but efficient and very clean. The (non-resident) owner - manager arranged a taxi for me for early morning ride to the airport.

Very nicely designed house. Has everything you need if you want to cook. There is a little bakery around the corner. Kayaks to use if you wish. Tiago walked us to the accommodation from the Naturalist base and gave us loads of recommendations for things to do in Faial which was extremely helpful and allowed us to get the most from our short stay.

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.

Thelma and Carlos were very helpful
Thelma and Carlos were very helpful
The accommodation was spotless. Thelma brought us fruit and tomatoes from her garden. The room was large and kitchen well equipped. There was a lot of rain when we visited and it was cold but Thelma provided thick blankets.
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!
Beautiful 3-bedroom apartment in an exciting location with views of Porto Pim Bay. Convenient to walk into town and to various activities and restaurants. Comfortable living space and bedrooms. Excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Very responsive booking office and onsite staff, always proactive and ready to help with anything we needed. Wifi and TV were great. We loved our stay and highly recommend this apartment.
This is a conveniently-located small hotel close to the harbour in Horta and just around the corner from the well-regarded Cafe Peter Sport. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They speak good English and were able to help with such things as taxis and Portuguese Passenger Locator Forms. A decent breakfast is served from 8am and the rooms are clean and comfortable with en-suite facilities.
This b&b is lovely. It has a beautiful garden and has one of the best views of the island, thanks to its location up on a hill overlooking the island Pico and Horta. It also has a wonderful host, Yvette who will welcome you warmly ! Also, breakfast is great and abundant. We really loved the stay here and recommend it for a perfect experience in Faial.
The second of our Azorean honeymoon accommodations - Hotel do Canal is wonderful, with an ideal location, friendly and helpful staff, amazing and comfortable rooms and their preparation of our honeymoon surprise in our room was lovely and much appreciated! A must stay for anyone staying in Horta!
The hotel is located inside Horta fortress, an amazing location. It is right in the city centre on the main street overlooking the harbour and Pico island with the volcano. It has a nice swimming pool with the same view. There are some parking spots in front of the hotel.
A lovely home with many little supplies like coffee, sugar, napkins which are often not available. Marie was very helpful and the view over Horta was great. Highly recommend. A little hard to find, might want to use a nav app in addition to info provided.
The best place to stay not only in Horta but in the entire Azores, trust me on this one. Super nice, comfortable, modern, extremely clean... Great central location. Staff is wonderful, helpful, kind and friendly. I'm definitely returning soon!
This hotel sits above the Horta marina, from it you can have a clear view of Pico Island. (if you are on one of the rooms facing the ocean). Everything was wonderful.
During Breakfast the staff always made sure that we had enough to eat.
Very nice accommodation, Elena and Jerry made all their possible to render our stay really comfortable. In their hands, our 3-day stay has been wonderful, wish we could stay longer. Horta worth a 4-7 day sojourn - no less!
Very unique, lovely and comfortable stay with incredibly friendly hosts! Rooms are nicely decorated, well maintained and very clean. Location is in very short walking distance to everything you want to visit in Horta.
Nicely arranged room space, vast shared kitchen space, terrace facing the ocean, helpful staff. It is actually a hotel with dorms available, not a hostel. All facilities are well maintained and clean
This hotel is absolutely excellent. Architecture and design is great. I enjoyed my time there very much. The staff is friendly and cooperative and does always its best to make the vacationers happy.
Enjoyed my stay at Kosmos...Location is optimal for exploring Horta...The View from the Apartment is Amazing...The Studio had everything I needed...The Staff are friendly and helpful!
Great hotel, very comfortable room and nice staff, very friendly and helpful.
We loved the location and the view from the hotel restaurant and swimming pool.
