Reviews for Hotel do Canal
Review 1:A little far from the port if you are planning to take the ferry to Pico or São Jorge.
Review 2:Great location to the city center and Porto Pim beach. Nice fitness area with sauna and jacuzzi.
Review 3:Circuit blew out once cutting off electricity to all of room, except for door lock and safe, and we were on way out for dinner and was fixed by time we got back to room so not a big deal.
Review 4:Nice hotel and restaurant. Great view of Pico from Window.
Review 5:The TV was very outdated (not flat screen) Room was clean - could use a bit of updating Breakfast needs a bit more variety
Review 6:Location - close to everything Staff was friendly and helpful Great views of Pico
Review 7:The internet was week most of the time .Matress was a bit hard for our taste.
Review 8:Im from Horta and this is third time i stayed there with my husband and son while visiting family.The location is unbeatable since is right in the center and you can walk everywhere The staff was very helpfull with all our requests.
Review 9:Snoring sound from next room was terrible. Wellness will need some maintenance.
Review 10:Location in harbor is perfect, breakfast tasty but not very wide selection. Internet was working fine.
Review 11:Communication with the staff somehow was not like you expect in a luxury hotel. Although on the day of check-in there was a very friendly guy in the reception.
Review 12:Nice hotel with port and Pico view, good facilities with saunas and jacuzzi, wine and buffet- dinner was served in the room (we had romantic package with superior room). Wifi wasgood and free of charge.
Review 13:Bathroom was a bit small and wifi was slow at times.
Review 14:Conveniently located across the marina and very helpful/friendly staffs. Comfortable rooms and good breakfast.
Review 15:The hotels in the Azores are very energy conscious and it was inconvenient at times because as a Portuguese immigrant with an American citizen having not returned for 61 years. We Americans should follow the same conservation practices as the Azoreans.
Review 16:Front desk were absolutely fantastic in the process of information on Faial where to eat, visit and they were extremely friendly and patient with a constant smile
Review 17:MOLD and MILDEW I requested tiles around shower to be cleaned with clorox bleach in order to remove pink mildew; and the shower curtain to be washed with clorox bleach or replaced given pinkish and black mildew spots. This was corrected efficiently by staff after the problem was explained and visually shown; however, this should never had happened given the rating of the hotel and the amount charged in the summer high season. Staff was advised of need to disinfect at times with bleach/clorox product to remove mildew and mold given growth of bacteria as harmful to the health of guests. EXTRA BED ??? I agreed to a charge of 39 euros for an additional bed in room for an adult but it turned out to be an extremely small cot with a thin mattress. Not at all the extra bed that I anticipated and certainly should have been free as it basically qualified for a cot used in camping. A/C It was extremely hot in the room (end of July raining and very humid) as the air conditioner did not cool well at all. Overheard several other guests complaining about their a/c over breakfast; therefore, the a/c problem was not unique to just my room. Suggest to remove the carpet in rooms and replace with an engineered wood or similar product (perhaps even a tile) given the high level of humidity which makes the carpet feel unclean as it has spots in areas including the perimeter outside the door to the bathroom.
Review 18:Location in front of port. Breakfast facilities.
Review 19:Having to leave too soon!
Review 20:The helpful, friendly staff. The spa facilities and massage service were excellent. Great location for exploring both bays in Horta and for local restaurants. Wonderful view of Mt Pico when the cloud allowed! The romantic package with extra little touches was much appreciated. And thank you for the bottle of wine on my birthday!

Review 38:Central Location. Maid service to clean room - 4 or 6 staff in room at a time. Never happen in similar graded hotels in UK.
Review 39:Best location in Horta, with beautiful view of Pico island. The staff is very friendly, they even booked a car for us - fantastic service. The PCs in the business centre were working OK, you can even print your boarding passes for your flight if needed. We loved to have the possibility to go and relax in the jacuzzi after a long day walking around (bathrobe and slippers are available in your room which is a plus). Buffet breakfast was OK, with a good choice of items. Parking is free.
Review 40:The internet was not working at the business center, and the paid wi-fi was not working either. If you need internet, you will need to use you mobile/cell phone.
Review 41:The location is excellent. Relaxing location. Friendly staff. Simple gym machines, but can get a work out done. The hotel restaurant is good for a few nights if you do not want to venture out.
Review 42:The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast like it should be in four star hotel. Parking in the hotel garage was free of charge.
Review 43:There was no free wifi in the hotel. There should have been free internet in the businessarea, but it didn't worked when we were there Very much street noise and noise from the other rooms. We could here the people in the next room take a shower and even here there alarmclock go off Dark decorated rooms, looked al little bit outdated.
Review 44:Good located at the end of the boulevard Seaview/ harbourview from the room Good breakfast, enough untill the end of breakfast time Nice staff who really wanted to help
Review 45:My kettle in my room was not working and I could not raise reception or housekeeping on two occasions.
Review 46:Very convenient for the marina Lovely welcome water and fruit
Review 47:Free WiFi in has a clear limitation - for PT clients only. Opportunity for fitness area improvement: it needs a bigger variety of equipment not only cardio, or at least some free weights. It would be nice to have there some drinking water available, too.
Review 48:Location, great view, comfortable rooms, pleasant common / lounge area with play area for kids.
Review 49:Room very dark. Tiny balcony too small to be of any use. No pool, only indoor jacuzzi. Large coach tour at breakfast one morning meant a bit of a scramble.
Review 50:Sea view. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Good location, near Porto Pim beach and Peter Sport bar and yacht harbour.
Review 51:I thought I payd more for the stay than Booking.com said. I should have paid 440 € but the Hotel made me pay 496€ and also the wifi was not free. I had to pay 25€ for a week use of WiFi in the Hotel.
Review 52:Location was exelent and it was a nice place to stay at.
Review 53:WiFi was not free (last time I paid in a hotel was 5 yrs ago). Breakfast, although good, is getting less attractive being the same, after 5 days.
Review 54:Location, staff, free parking, TV channels.
Review 55:A number of very large trees obstruct the scenic view. The canal and the beautiful islands of Pico an St. George cannot be seen.
Review 56:I was disappointed ! My expectation of the scenic view on the "canal" was completely frustrated.
Review 57:Thought the Internet system was a bit of a hassle as the daily charge was high and obtaining hourly vouchers to economise was extra trouble.
Review 58:Location is brilliant, right on the harbour front, and convenient for walks on that part of the island. Staff were very helpful and dining there was a pleasure. Food was of a good standard and there was a reasonable choice considering it was out of season. Everything in the hotel worked efficiently and life there was really comfortable.
