Central Guest House

Budget option 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.

Väldigt fräscht ställe. Fanns absolut ingenting att anmärka på. Kändes som man var på ett 3-4-stjärnigt hotell trots att det kallade sig för guest house. Kan verkligen rekommendera det för andra.

Seemed a bit expensive for what was offered (no breakfast/cafe da manha) but accomodation was extremely tight on Sao Miguel Island vs. Faial Island. A bit of traffic in the st. but I still slept well.

Wij 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.

Céntrico pero muy senzillo Alojamiento céntrico. Habitación amplia pero con pocas comodidades (sin armario, caja fuerte, etc). La habitación olía mal a pesar de tener mucha ventilación. En 3 días no nos cambiaron ni las sábanas ni las toallas y tampoco proporcionaron papel higiénico!

unhygienic 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.
