This hotel is an odd experience. On a beautiful small island, it is a giant architectural eyesore. We stayed here as there are not a lot of choices. But the hotel is a few km outside of Vila Do Porto, is huge, soulless and not particularly welcoming. It’s like a giant concrete lot where they park all the island visitors. They advertise a fitness center as part of the hotel. It is in the same building but not associated and they charge you €7.50 a visit. It’s tiny and was crowded when I tried to go. Not worth it. The staff at the hotel were nice enough, the included breakfast is nice enough. But if you can find a more authentic place to stay on the island, go there instead.

All around great hotel.

One interesting thing is in the apartment suites they don’t have the AC in the bedroom only in the living room When it gets hot that AC in the bedroom comes in pretty handy

Pros: easy to park, comfy room and sofas in common areas, next to diving centre, good views from room.
Cons: most disappointing breakfast ever, same thing every day, tasteless eggs and cheese, no vegetables, very limited vegetarian options (don’t stay there if you’re vegan), gym is paid extra as is pool table. I wouldn’t guess this was a 4 star hotel, defo not value for money.

Podia ser um pouco mais barato pelo que e oferecido. Não é um hotel 4 estrelas. Café razoável, staff agradável. Mas o hotel é bem simples. Duas camas de solteiro unidas, não tem ac no quarto, tivemos que deixar a porta da varanda aberta. Não ficaria la novamente

Great value

Very spacious hotel that included a nice breakfast. While we didn't use the outdoor pool/cabana area, it looked like a great setup. The views from our balcony were great, although it was located close enough to private residences that you could hear them in the day time (construction, etc.)

The shower water temperature would fluctuate pretty constantly, which was a bit unpleasant. When using the sink, the water would dribble down the spout and onto the counter, which was a bit strange. You could also easily hear other guests while in the bathroom which is not unique to this hotel, but also not preferred.

The front desk was nice and pleasant. They were able to call us a taxi (as the taxi did not speak English) easily within minutes.

We tried a pork sandwich and a hamburger from the bar, which were large portions. They were tasty but not great, but a good value nonetheless.

All in all it was a nice stay and we would come back.

Excellent service, free parking, very good breakfast buffet, thankfully the restaurant was open for dinner. Only discomfort was the hard mattress, which is common in Portugal, but difficult to have a good night's sleep.

This hotel is the largest on the island by far and seems out of scale with the rest of the island architecture. The building is a little dated and in need of some repairs and a facelift, but overall it met our needs for our stay. There are huge floor to ceiling windows/doors in the rooms that open to a balcony overlooking the farmland below the hotel and ocean beyond. The sun makes the rooms really hot in the afternoon (and we were visiting in the winter!) so it is nice to be able to open the doors and get a cool sea breeze. We were traveling with a small child so the downside to opening the doors was the balcony has large openings under the railing (almost a foot of open space) and we had to be super vigilant that the child didn't get close to the edge. There is an outdoor pool and a jacuzzi in the gym adjacent to the hotel. Use of the jacuzzi is included for hotel guests and the gym can be used for a small daily fee.

It may have been a very property at one time, but now it's dated. For example the round CRT televisions in 2019 is very for a hotel. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The property seemed clean, my room was clean. But the is visible water damage on many walls and hall carpets, the lights in the lobby are missing some parts. There was no hot water, I took lukewarm showers for the week I stayed there.

Wildly Meh

Hotel Colombo is a little outside Vila de Porto which makes it inconvenient if you don't have a car. It is very plain and expensive for what it is. I only stayed there because there were no other rooms left on the island.

A great stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Hotel Columbo. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The lady who makes the cakes made us a special birthday cake which we all agreed was superb. The cakes at breakfast were also fantastic (made by the same very talented lady). There was also fresh fresh fruit salad and a great buffet for breakfast. We were out late all day and very nice to come back to meals by room service in our apartment rooms which were very good value. Overall highly recommended.

Not what i expected

This hotel looked really nice on the website but we discovered this to be a bit misleading when we arrived at the property as it was a bit run down. Having said that, the room was nice, clean comfortable, the pool was large, the ocean view was nice, location was fine for us, and the breakfast buffet was very good. However, the tv was an old clunker, there was no kleenex i had to buy my own, and the food at the bar was lousy. Overall the hotel accommodation was fine. I would consider this a 3 star hotel though.

Ugly, dirty, unkept \"hotel.\" Do NOT stay here

I rarely write an overwhelming negative review but this Hotel easily deserves it. The one positive thing was the friendly staff. Besides that, I wouldn't recommend this \"hotel.\" I don't understand how it was rated with 4 stars. It barely deserves one. The photos online are misleading The place looks more like a rundown industrial prison. The hotel and rooms are filled with rust, water damaged furniture, broken light fixtures, and exposed wire. The beds were decent ignored you like a firm mattress. They don't offer bottled liquid soap or shampoo. Everything is an upcharge like the Lock for the safe and the gym. The \"cleaning\" of rooms consists of replacing towels but not much more. Be careful of crickets in your room keeping you awake. I question how Hotel.com vetted this hotel. I would NOT recommend this place to say the least.

Poor quality, poor performance, highly disappointe

Where do I start? The photos are completely deceiving. The hotel has not been maintained and is in extremely poor shape. It's rated as a 4 star hotel, I barely would give it one. Rugs, Carpets, furniture, walls, light fixtures.... all BROKEN or not working in some way. The rooms were damaged by water and uncomfortable at best. Crickets in the rooms. Cockroaches in the driveway. The linens were stained. The restaurant was barely open. The bar and open area was overwhelmed due to lack of people to serve. Everyone at the hotel was hard working, there just weren't enough and the hotel honestly looks like a prison and not a hotel. I absolutely would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The gym is not free. Highly disappointed and I'm questioning my loyalty to hotels.com based on the deceiving nature of the photos and reviews.

worst stay ever

We only stay for 2 nights but when we asked the staff for any help they where not very friendly to answer any question.. when one of our friend couple got sick she asked for a special request.... which was chicken soup, the response was not profession. They did not even they to ask kitchen staff instead brush us of and told us there was no chicken available. For the love of god since when we have shortage of chickens in azores anyways this is the first hotel we ever got treated that way so we moved to other more professional accomation which I might add was alo more respected in our eyes.
