Jun 16, 2024Great location. Nice to be able to use a well appointed kitchen. I wish when I booked it was more clear that I would need to contact the owner prior to my arrival so that he could let us in. My under was that we could check in anytime after 2:00. Also, we found the wifi to be slow.

May 25, 2024The man was quite rude when I received access to the property, as I had booked it at 11:30 at night and although it says 24hr reception, no one was there when I arrived and I was locked out.
He has to drive there to meet you which is not explained on the booking app, but it says to check in before midnight, which I had arrived to the property a few minutes after booking and waited a while.
Once I got in, I used the shared bathroom which was not at all clean, took a shower which didn’t drain the water and because it’s a standing shower, I had to make it quick as the gross water was about to overflow onto the washroom floor. The towel I used to dry myself was stained and then I had to use it to soak up all the nasty shower water that was pooled up in the bottom of the shower… so I definitely did not feel clean after that.
The nice thing is that it is fairly central and close enough to things that make it super walkable. You do receive a key to lock your bedroom door, which is a plus as well.

Sep 2, 2024No front desk,
bathroom was detached from the room even if it was a "private bathroom" we had to cross the hallway, there was no soap in the bathroom, the door of the shower was broken.
Pretty noisy place. Fridge was disgusting. Pretty difficult to find parking on street but is a walkable distance to bars and restaurants. I would call it more a overpriced hostel.

Jan 4, 2024HORRIBLE! There was No answer when we arrived to the property. Rang the doorbell and called multiple times. We have never been to Azores before and this made our stay extremely stressful. We ended up getting delayed from our flight and the airport. We arrived at night in a town we didn’t know and no one to help us except people on the street recommending different places to stay. I would never recommend this place to anyone! There’s beautiful hotels all around that I would stay at if we were to ever go back to Azores. This hotel has horrible customer service and I’m extremely disappointed by the lack of hospitality.

Oct 9, 2023Do NOT book this accommodation. Our jewelry got stolen out of our room by the cleaning lady even though they don't clean the rooms during your stay. When I made a report to the manager, he checked in with her and told me that she found my watch in the shared bathroom. However, I left my watch in my bag as we went on a boat tour that morning. We informed other guests to be careful with their valuable belongings. Another guest told us that things had been moved around in their room, and some other girls were missing jewelry as well. When they checked in with the manager, they actually brought back jewelry from my friend that she had hit in a little box in her bag as well instead of their stuff and told them that's what they had found in their room. I have never felt more unsafe at an accommodation than this one. Again, DO NOT BOOk!

Central Guesthouse messaged me about a week to 10 days before our stay asking me when we would be checking in, and as it was a little late (9:30pm) they gave us instructions on how to let ourselves in. When we arrived later than anticipated we let ourselves in, no problem. But much to our surprise, the room was used - the throw pillows were on the floor, the sheets used, and towels strewn on the bathroom floor. I messaged the property and someone came promptly. Apparently the guests before us had checked out VERY late and the room had not been turned over. She asked for 15 minutes to clean the room. We parked our car (there’s a lot about a 5 minute walk away) and then waited downstairs. 15-20 minutes later our room was ready.
The room has windows for walls and is on a busy street so you can definitely hear EVERYTHING happening outside. We’re heavy sleepers so it didn’t bother us much. You can also hear the other doors on the floor opening and closing.
And we also had trouble with the shower not draining as others have mentioned. My partner is a rockstar and eventually got fed up and pulled out who knows what and then it drained better.

May 17, 2024unhygienic and not well managed
dont stay here, unless you can’t afford anywhere else that’s a bit better!
i found my room/bathroom to be quite unhygienic. the towels and the sheets had dirty spots, the shower and the bathroom sink looked like they had been cleaned with water only, there were hairs and remains of toothpaste, it was disgusting. they only gave us 2 toilet paper rolls for 4 days and only 3 towels. also, the mattress is old and sinks in the middle a lot, so it wasn’t very comfortable to sleep with 2 people in the bed.
the kitchen doesn’t have a dishwasher and no one seems to try to keep the kitchen well cleaned. the guests have to wash their own dishes, which wouldn’t be a problem if everyone washed them well. you should expect to find dirty dishes/cups/etc.
the manager of this property was not there when the check-in time began and we had to call him and wait for him to get there. overall he is not very warm and doesn’t make you feel comfortable to ask for anything
(example: extra towels)
there is no actual free parking provided by the guesthouse. however, parking is free in the guesthouse’s street if you can find a parking spot.
although i didn’t mind as much, you should also expect to hear a lot of noise coming to the street as if the outside people are inside the place.
wish i would’ve stayed somewhere else. great if you really just want something very cheap, but if you wish to relax and be comfortable, i would advise to not stay here.

Oct 3, 2024Wij hadden deze accommodatie geboekt om één nachtje te overnachten voordat wij weer terugvlogen naar huis. Dit was prima, maar ik zou hier niet langer willen blijven.
We hadden de kamer met gedeelde badkamer en deze was zeer schoon toen wij aankwamen. We deelden deze maar met één andere kamer. Het inchecken ging prima. Mr Luis nam snel de telefoon op en gaf de code van het sleutelkastje. De gedeelde ruimte was net en schoon. De kamer was ook prima. Er stonden koekjes en flesjes water voor ons klaar. De bedden waren prima. De kamer was wel gehorig. Je kon goed horen als iemand op de gang of in de kamers naast ons liep. En de accommodatie ligt aan een best drukke straat.
Dus prima voor één nacht. We hebben ook weinig gebruik gemaakt van de faciliteiten, we gingen avondeten in de stad en 's morgens al vroeg de deur uit.

La experiencia ha sido buena en general, la ubicación esta bien, tiene parkings gratuitos, restaurantes y tiendas cerca.
Durante la estancia no entran a limpiar. Cuando llegamos si estaba todo limpio, pero realmente limpias tú lo que ensucias en la cocina y demás porque es compartida. Ninguna queja, estaba todo bien.

Nov 17, 2023När vi kom dit hade vi försökt få tag på receptionen sedan ett dygn innan, men inget svar. När vi väl kom fram var hotellet låst, och ingen i receptionen som kom och öppnade. Ringde säkert 50 gånger till numret som fanns men kom bara till en röstbrevlåda. Vistelsen var förbetald. Vi fick ta in på ett annat hotell till slut. 3 dagar senare har vi fortfarande inte hört av hotellet. Väldigt besviken och rekommenderar absolut ingen att ta in på Central Guest House.

Oct 20, 2023No lo recomiendo
Llegamos del viaje y la puerta está cerrada, no hay nadie para recibirte después de llegar de viaje que lo único que quieres es dejar las maletas, 1 hora en la puerta. Nada más nos abre finalmente el casero nuestra visión es de una cucaracha enorme la cual pisa delante nuestro y se ríe. Las instalaciones no es tan mal, necesitan una mejora en limpieza de baños, no había toallas, los 8 días con la misma toalla húmeda. La ducha no traiga agua y se encharcado todo. Falta menaje en la cocina pero bueno lo peor de todo fue el segundo día de estancia nos robaron toda la comida para la semana que teníamos en la nevera y en el armario de la cocina, escribes y llamas al casero y no obtienes ningún tipo de respuesta, una vergüenza.
