Correcte mais vétuste

Personnel très agréable et attentionné. Pratique qu'il y ait une permanence sur une longue période à l'accueil. Chambre et hôtel correcte mais très vétuste et cher vu la "vieillesse" de l'établissement. Le pain du petit déjeuner était tultra sec. Etablissement très bien situé pour aller dans le centre ville (Horta) et à la plage à pied.
