Not Worth 4 Stars – Very Disappointing Stay
The hotel was old and smelled bad. The pool was not good, but the location was nice. The room was full of bugs, the AC didn’t work well, and the staff were kind. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I don’t think it was a 4-star hotel.

Never ever fails to amaze how great the hotel is. The staff, check in, the room, wow, the bed, the crisp sheets. The wine, the eating area, even the bathroom! Will definitely return.

The staff was wonderful. It was a very spacious hotel room (which is hard to find in Europe). It was very close to downtown and the breakfast was delicious with lots of options.

We chose this property for a layover between flights without knowing anything about the Azores. We were pleasantly surpised with the luxurious hotel right in the old town and close to the beach.We also had an excellent dinner in their restaurant (tune and swordfish) and the included breakfast was excellent.

I liked everything about the place. We had a very nice room overlooking the park but only being spoiled by the strange characters who talked loud to early morning hours every night.
Otherwise I have only a praise for the hotel.

Tolle Lage mitten in der Stadt
Für die Besichtigung von Ponta Delgada ist das Talisman ein toller Ausgangspunkt. Auch wer mit dem Mietwagen kommt, hat kein Problem, es gibt private Parkplätze in der Nähe. Das Hotel ist schön, tolles Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und gutes Frühstück.
Leider war während unseres Aufenthaltes der Pool-und Fitnessbereich geschlossen, ohne Hinweis oder Begründung, weder auf der Webseite noch beim Empfang. Unser Zimmer war sehr gross und komfortabel, jedoch der Ausblick nur an die nächste Häuserwand. Dies wenn möglich beim Buchen beachten/vermerken.
