10/10 Exceptional

Ideal location in the heart of the main city. We could walk to pretty much everything. Had a rental car (ask them about referral discount for Autalantis) and there is a free parking lot barely 3min walk up the street. Property is clean, quiet, and set up very well for managing your own trip - the kitchen is outfitted nicely and easy to use. Staff is spectacular, especially Tiago. Our flight home was canceled and we were able to pick up another night and stay in the same room, which made the chaos manageable. We give our highest recommendation!

We had an amazing 2 week stay at Island Bliss. It is really well maintained hostel, if it can even be called that. It felt more like a hotel! The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you can think of. The room & bathroom are cleaned daily making for a very comfortable stay. Very central & free parking lot nearby. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Sao Miguel!

Upon our arrival, the front desk was really welcoming and explained everything about the full shared kitchen. If you want to do your own meal, I have my flight the next afternoon, and I was wondering about my luggage. They offered to keep my luggage in a safe place, and I could explore around and pick it up after that. was really generous of them. The location is exceptionally close to a bakery and a small grocery store, and an 8-minute walk from the shopping centre (even Google Maps said 16min). I really recommend it, if you like hostels, and the staff are really friendly and helpful with my questions and concerns.

今まで泊まったホステルの中で一番良かったです。 キッチン設備がとても充実していて、料理をしたくなるような快適な環境でした。タオルも定期的に交換してもらえたのがありがたく、さらに外出用のタオルまで用意されていて細やかな気配りを感じました。 館内はいつも清潔で、掃除も隅々まで行き届いていました。同じ部屋になった人とも「この値段でこんなに素晴らしいホステルに泊まれるなんて」と話すほど感動しました。 立地や設備、清潔さ、スタッフの配慮など、どれをとっても大満足です。またこの街を訪れることがあれば、ぜひ利用したいと思います。

Sehr schöne, saubere Unterkunft mit großen Zimmern sowie großer, moderner Küche und Utensilien. Die Lage ist sehr gut und vieles ist Fußläufig schnell zu erreichen, ein kleiner Supermarkt ist direkt um die Ecke. Die Parkplätze an der Straße vor der Unterkunft sind kostenpflichtig, es gibt aber einen großen und kostenfreien Parkplatz ca. 500m von der Unterkunft entfernt. Der Inhaber ist super nett und kann viele Tipps für Ausflüge usw. geben. Gerne wieder!

El recepcionista fue amabilísimo, nos enseñó las instalaciones y propuso actividades que hacer en la isla. Estuvimos solo una noche (de paso) pero es un lugar donde me podría alojar más tiempo. La habitación (nº1) y el cuarto de baño eran amplísimos y muy limpios, la cama muy cómoda y grande. El comedor-cocina compartidos muy bien equipados, todo súper nuevo y moderno. ¡Lo recomiendo 100%!
