We first had a normal room, but these were really a bit small. For 50 Euro a night extra we got a suite, which is like an apartment and has a separate bedroom and a big balcony. You have a spectacular view on mount Pico and the harbour. The staff are very nice, the building is an old fort and the entire feeling is one of a Spanish Parador. To be honest, I believe this is one of the few luxury hotels on Faial (but I did not visit all the others:)). When you leave, there are plenty restaurants and bars in walking distance. The restaurant of the hotel is also very good, but the menu is very very short and did not change during our stay. We got a later check out without trouble.
Located in the old Azorean town of Horta, the newly-renovated Hotel Horta offers views of Pico Island. It features rooms with balconies, a large garden and an outdoor pool.

A wonderful hidden island for people who like the silence, the hiking and the mountains. Beware that the supermarkets have few things.
Azores are expensive to live, because of few available homes and the prices raise up.

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.
Casa BuonVento was a wonderful find in Horta, Faial. Elena and Jerry are the most amazing hosts and did everything possible to make my stay with them perfect! The guest house is well appointed and they have thought of everything in setting up the kitchen facilities and rooms for their guests. 🙏
The location is great and within walking distance to the center, restaurants and marina. The room was quiet and very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying at Casa BuonVento when visiting this beautiful town of Horta. ❣️❣️
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.
I really recommend to stay at Internacional Azores Boutique when in Horta. Our stay in this hotel exeeded our expectations. Room had a great view, small balcony opening to the bay comfortable bed and fancy atmosphere. And the price for our stay was really reasonable. Plus it was one of the rare accommodations where you don't feel the humidity inside the room, which was superb. Only good words!
The room was clean and tidy, with a daily room cleaning service. The grounds were very nice as well; we really enjoyed the pool and gardens. A sauna and Turkish bath were available as well, but we didn't use these services. We were also able to get some laundry done for a small fee, which we really appreciated. It was easy to get in and out of the hotel with the room and gate keys provided.
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.
This is a great place to stay in Horta. The location couldn't be more central to all the nice places. Always found parking right under the apartment. The check-in process was smooth. The room was spacious and stocked. I would highly recommend asking for a sea facing room on the 2nd level from which you can see the ocean and Pico on a clear day.
Alice's home was one of the best accommodations we had during our Azores holiday. The place is so clean, equipped with everything that you need, the room was comfortable and of course, the garden and view on Pico is unbeatable! We really enjoyed it here and highly recommend it... Thank you so much for your hospitality!
The apartment’s location couldn’t be better. It was near cafés, restaurants, and all the places you might visit in Horta. You would only need a rental car if visiting outside Horta. However, there’s a good bus system. The host was available and flexible. We plan to stay there again.
The welcome by the hostess was very warm and friendly by Maria. The breakfast was delicious and sufficient. Every day my room was fresh and cleaned. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay carefree in the Azores.
Afonso was very welcoming and always available to help. The house is close to Horta town by car and from natural swimming pools. It has an amazing garden! The rooms are big with private bathrooms.
Really good location, and comfortable bedroom.
Elena and Jerry and very welcoming and shared lots of tips to travel Horta as well as Faial.
Everything is very clean, I can only recommend!
The hotel is up on the hill with nice view of he bay. The reception staff
was help-full.
Very basic facilities with outdoor pool that we could not use because f the weather.
Delicious breakfast, very profesional staff, amazing room, very good location. We liked the hotel so much that we will stay with them also in Terceira. Thank you for everything!
This hotel is right on the harbour in a great location. Everything about it was good for us. Great breakfast, comfortable room and pleasant staff. Secure parking.
The hotel is like a small village resort.
The facilities were great, good breakfast, nice swimming pool & gym.
The location is very close to the marina. 👍
