ホテル ア イルハ(Hotel Ilha)

The hotel is very well equipped and at an affordable price.

The Hotel Illa is a good budget place in Angra. The rooms were cleaned each day and a good basic breakfast is provided. It is right in the heart of the Old town and close to the Marina. The staff were great! The negatives: No parking, needs some maintenance (peeling paint, rough closing doors etc) Can also be noisy in the mornings with pigeons and sliding furniture and banging doors. Still a good choice if you are not looking a 5*

Mold in first room and a mold smell, they moved me to another room that also had mold but I dealt with it because there was no smell. Very mediocre breakfast for the price they charge. Staff not very friendly and I didn’t feel the location was super safe as other people staying left the front door open late at night and I could hear men screaming in the lobby almost every night. Probably not great for solo travellers, in hindsight I would spend a bit more money to get a safer place.

This place is a hidden gem! The front desk personnel were friendly and professional. Small boutique hotel but very nice. My room was clean, comfortable and as pictured. The breakfast was very basic, but satisfying. Water available all day which is nice in the summer. Oh the location... better than i could ever ask. 5 min walk to water and a beach. Near shopping and places to eat. Very safe location. Highly recommend.

Great location! Easy to get everywhere and staff was friendly. Excellent price/value!

Good location, many restaurants, good price.

Loved this hotel and it’s location right in the heart of this UNESCO town. The building next door was under construction so the workers woke us up very early every morning but it’s very peaceful in the evening. Would definitely recommend this place if you don’t have a car because you can walk everywhere quite easily. We rented a car directly from the hotel and the price was less than other places in the area and we were able to drop the car off at the airport without any additional costs.

Even though the hotel is 2 stars there are basic standards that even a 2 star hotel should have. For example, the toilet brush was disgustingly rotten and dirty (it costs 2€ to buy a new one). The showers had curtains that were also dirty and sticked to the body when we were having a shower. We do understand that the bathroom is from the 60s but we believe that even a bathroom from the 60s can be improved with the time. There was a sock under the bed which implies that the bedroom wasn’t clean. The air conditioner was broken and in an island extremely humid and in the middle of the summer, this is not very nice. The paper cups in the bathroom, that even though we understand they are planet friendly, were disgusting and could be replaced by glass ones instead. The breakfast was extremely poor. The instant coffee was very bad, there wasn’t any fruit and if you’re a person that doesn’t eat bread or sugary cereal there wasn’t any other option available. It has indeed an amazing location, but since the island is so small, any other hotel will do. Nevertheless, if you like camping this hotel is perfect.

Incredible view of the SANJOANINAS events and parades. Walking distance from all restaurants. The staff were friendly. A great place!
