Reviews for Vila Nova Hotel
Review 1:The cooked part of the breakfast was very dull
Review 2:Helpfull staff, Nice location short walk to city centre, very nice clean rooms, the food in the hotel was good, but the choice was limited.
Review 3:No fridge or tea/coffee facilities in room.
Review 4:Helpful and accommodating staff. Very clean rooms and public areas. Great value bar food and drinks. Central location.
Review 5:I disliked that the first thing told me at the check-in was "did you parked the car here? Park does not belong to the Hotel" Coincidence or not - the day after I had my car parked in front of the hotel and paid twice the max.park ticket until 12h50. Went to have lunch and was overtime for 20minutes, 13h10 I got a fine - however - weird I checked - the only car on the whole street with a fine !!! And you will notice cars parked in the sidewalk everywhere in Ponta Delgada, for e.g. This was a very strange situation that stressed me.
Review 6:Everything! Very clean and organized, interesting breakfast and facilities are pleasant. Definitely the best price-quality hotel in Ponta Delgada.
Review 7:Low flying aircraft. Woken up every night with cargo plane. Don't remember seeing that mentioned in the review. Didn't bother us too much but may upset other people.
Review 8:Helpful staff and good breakfast.
Review 9:Room was cold, and insufficient bedding. Seems hotels don't know what a duvet is in the Azores
Review 10:Nice big room, albeit basic - but you get more than you expect for the price.
Review 11:The pool wasn't heated, the breakfast was unvaried and very limited in sense of choice, it was very cold in the room and the room heating didn't work, the safe's lock was absent, so it wasn't possible to use it
Review 12:Very good location of the hotel, quick way from/to the airport, quite nice personnel
Review 13:Nothing significant to complain about. The street wasn't the quietest, but no issues with noise during the night.
Review 14:Pretty much everything. Breakfast was excellent, everything clean and worked well, very friendly and helpful staff. Wifi worked very well too.
Review 15:A comfortable, clean hotel, with friendly, helpful staff. There is a nice buffet breakfast offering hot and cold selections. The hotel is within walking distance of town. We would recommend this hotel to our friends, especially when the hotel arranged pick up and drop off at the airport.
Review 16:We needed a wheelchair accessible room and the one we were give was excellent. Well equipped , very spacious and a large balcony. We'll run hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Excellent free wifi in all try hotel. Sao Miguel Island is wonderful with some amazing sites and great tours
Review 17:The TV in the room. Very old and poor reception.
Review 18:Everything. The staff excelente. Bruno at the front desk was excellent plus, plus., no words to describe is efficiency and always courteous.
Review 19:The pool area could stand some sprucing up, paint, plants, and more umbrellas. We found the matresses a bit hard for our liking.
Review 20:We felt the hotel is in a good location, not very far at all from city center, a pleasant walk, just a few minutes. The staff was wonderful, very helpful and pleasant as well. The breakfast buffet was very good.
Review 21:there is no fridge in room or microwave and no ice bucket I had to buy a cooler and pay 1 euro for small bucket of ice the tv is to low hard to hear english speaking channels
Review 22:the location, the staff always willing to help and very friendly THE HOTEL WAS VERY CLEAN inside and out the pool was very inviting and enough tables and chairs to loung by the pool
Review 23:Can't really complain about anything as we arrived at 7pm and left at 8:30 am the next morning.
Review 24:We were only there for one night as we had a layover. It was close to the airport only €10 cab ride. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly.
Review 25:I left a valuable ring in my room when I checked out in the morning and the maid founf it and returned it! A testament to the integrity of the Azorean people
Review 26:No free internet in the room and in the lobby very poor signal. The breakfast was poor with no variety. The furniture in the room is from 80's. No refrigerator
Review 27:This Hotel is basically a budget hotel but at 120 euros a night the price is not budget. The hotel is the standard of an average UK Travelodge. Looks like it was built in the 60s. It was generally clean but the bathroom tile grout was a bit dirty. Furniture showing signs of wear. Beds uncomfortably hard. Furniture on the balcony was grubby. Due to its location this hotel suffers from traffic and aviation noise. I would not use this hotel again. I would use the Talisman.
Review 28:The staff were excellent and helpful. I told them I had to leave the hotel early to get my flight. The receptionist arranged for me to have a take away breakfast, sorted out an early morning call and ordered me a taxi. Earlier in my stay the receptionist also printed my boarding cards,
Review 29:We picked this place because of the reviews. It did not disappoint. If you're looking for over-the-top luxurious accommodations, go somewhere else. But if you're looking for a comfortable, clean, spacious and affordable hotel room that will suit your sleeping needs, along with a friendly and helpful staff, I highly recommend.
Review 30:The ocean view is a partial sideways view. The breakfast is terrible and they served canned fruit. The fitness centre consists of three old pieces of cardio equipment. The hotel is located along the airplane landing path so you hear the engines overhead constantly. There was a small square box on the counter of the room that played fuzzy moving pictures at an unadjustable low volume. The safe is locked with a key attached to a hunk of brass. Smoking is not allowed inside the hotel but it is permitted on the balcony so forget about enjoying your balcony with the partial side ocean view if you don't want to have smoke in your face and your room from your chain smoking neighbour.
Review 31:Excellent staff! The front desk staff wer particularly helpful, happy to offer assistance and help rectify any issues.
Review 32:Some noise from aircraft.It didn't affect us much, but could be a problem for a light sleeper. Room safe not working.
Review 33:Short walk into town. The reception staff were helpful and there was a good secure (paid for) car park.
Review 34:Nothing really. Good value for the money we paid.
Review 35:We booked a King room and we ended up in a Junior suit. What a nice supprise! The room is very spacious and very clean. Complimentary coffee and tea are available with a kettle in the room which is very good for me since I have to get hot drink after each day of diving and sea adventure in the rather cold Atlantic water. Breakfast is good. There are this kind of special bread from Azores, cut into triangle pieces. Very tasty with local jam. The hotel is about 10 minus walk to the maria where most of the whale watching and diving boats departing. So it is very convenient. Not far from most of the nice restaurans and cafe either. A relaxing afternoon in a town center outdoor Cafe is just something! By the way it is very close to the airport, about 10 minus drive in regular trafic, 5 minus in the early morning.
Review 36:They failed to tell me I couldn't park on the street and I received a ticket the first day. Beds are hard and the tv's were about 15 inches. Airplanes fly directly over the hotel.
Review 37:The hotel is clean and in a nice location. Close to the airport. Good a/c
Review 38:pool not heated - a bit too cold out of main season
Review 39:Hotel close to main square. Friendly bar and cafe area for guests. Lots of trips available. Geysers are worth seeing a smaller example of the famous NZ ones
Review 40:First night we had to put up with a lot of noise from a nearby Fair - not the hotels fault though. Beds VERY hard and very uncomfortable for us as we are used to a soft bed.
Review 41:Good location, convenient private parking, helpful and polite staff, reasonable prices.
Review 42:We went there for the Senhor Santo Cristo and although the weather wasn't the greatest this hotel was ideally located. Staff was super friendly and extremely accommodating.
Review 43:No complaints
Review 44:Staff very helpful and courteous, rooms spacious, spotlessly clean and good facilities for price. Breakfast buffet very good and cocktails in bar the best I have tasted in a while! Location excellent - just a few minute stroll into town - would certainly stay again and recommend.
Review 45:no wifi in the room the propaganda boasts the swimming water is being warmed so as to invite guests to have a bath.... false !. the water is cold and they dont warm it...
Review 46:staff, location, price
Review 47:internet signal very very low in the room, you have to sit in reception downstairs to get signal which can be annoying. Breakfast staff didn't greet on any occasion which was contrary to the rest of the welcoming hotel staff.
Review 48:Nice pool area, lots to choose from for breakfast, nice views from view, reception staff extremely helpful and friendly, fast check-in/check-out, clean comfortable good sized rooms
Review 49:there are big noisy fridges on each floor, if you are sensitive to sounds ask the room away from it.
Review 50:nice hotel in convinient localization (close to the airport and city center, buses), very friendly and helpful personel, good breakfasts, peaceful and quiet (you can hear planes but there are only a few during a day); long view on the swimming pool and city
Review 51:- water in the pool was not heated as was advertised (in November)
Review 52:- quiet neighbourhood - close to city centre - very good reception service (they booked trips and a rental car for us) - everything was very clean - on-demand free espresso in breakfast
Review 53:Nice chain-like hotel in a good location with a short walk to the castle and historical center; very simple drive to the airport and any major highways to any point of St. Miguel. Hotel's own parking lot was a great plus.
Review 54:- location, it's not in the city center, but it's not too far either. - room had an unpleasant but tolerable smell (probably from a moldy carpet).
Review 55:- breakfast - large room - nice and helpful staff
Review 56:Having shampoo and other amenities would have been helpful. A refrigerator and small coffee maker in the room would have been nicer as well.
Review 57:Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room were clean and breakfast was very good.
Review 58:Watch the parking as I did not want parking but got charged for it. I don't recall requesting it but I would recommend double checking any requests.
Review 59:Bruno - excellent, patient & courteous person who gave wonderful recommendations & was great in handling my complaint and concerns. Thank you Bruno as you helped make our stay in the city that much better. Great room for 3. Quiet area which really suited us.
Review 60:The staff was very friendly and efficient. The hotel has a nice swimming pool (salt water) on the west side with lots of direct sunshine until late in the evening. An excellent breakfast is included in the price and the restaurant also serves a good buffet and light meals can be ordered until midnight at the bar. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Three minutes away on foot from the square where Festas do Senhor Santo Cristo take place every year.
Review 61:A pool was rather cold. Wifi is very poor in rooms.
Review 62:5 minutes walk from Ponta Delgada city center, clean rooms with balcony, pool view, hot water ok, breakfast good enough. Furniture is a bit old-fashined, but in good condition.
Review 63:Some employees at the front desk where not very pleasant. Most where good but 2 should just stay home!
Review 64:Hotel was clean Room very nice with King bed AC worked well
Review 65:The room and hallways were stuffy smelling and smelled of perspiration; the furniture in the lounge area had seen better days; the included breakfast was pretty average and chaotic; the price we paid was above average for the quality of the facilities, as the hotel needs an airing out and modernization in some areas
