Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good points. The rooms were incredibly spacious with a lovely living area and a large balcony, making them very comfortable, but the lack of natural light and poor room lighting were major downsides. The service was top-notch, especially with special surprises like champagne and dessert for my wife's birthday. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town close to all the local attractions and with easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining experience was delightful, offering a wide variety of options, but there were a few facilities that needed improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the Hotel Talisman. On the one hand, my room, although well-furnished with a large balcony and a lovely park view, suffered from significant traffic noise, making peaceful sleep challenging. Nevertheless, the hotel's service was top-notch, with a staff that was welcoming, accommodating, and always ready to assist. The location, while convenient for exploring the town and enjoying nearby attractions, was somewhat noisy due to its central position. The dining experience was satisfying, especially the breakfast buffet, offering a good selection. However, the hotel lacked some facilities I expected to find, impacting the overall stay.

The hotel is perfectly located in the historic part of Ponta Delgada, making it ideal for exploring the island’s sights and enjoying evenings in the town center. While the tiny balconies offer a cozy spot to enjoy the view, the room sizes vary and may differ from online images. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist, even providing a packed breakfast for early check-outs. The breakfast buffet, although offering ample choices, may need a slight improvement given the pricing. The central location is a major plus, with easy access to local landmarks, shops, restaurants, and the harbor, but it can get a bit crowded at times. Overall, a great value for those who want to be in the heart of Ponta Delgada.
