Great, historic location and they do a great job of preserving that vibe! However, comfort could be greatly (and inexpensively) enhanced with minimal upgrades to modernize these rooms with 21st century amenities, such as dedicated smart charge stations. Nevertheless, the staff was professional, and extremely helpful and informative. We will definitely be returning! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4963EB37D736B8B5579FCE5014A45A0931501C171574697589197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie-Josee Oct 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay in Horta Great location Very nice historical place We felt very safe during the hurricane and the personal were available to give us information ##### Marie-Josee Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Zany Aug 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent location in town.

Kleine, maar geriefelijke kamers, mooi zwembad en prima restaurants (ontbijt en diner). Over het algemeen gedienstig personeel. Zeker een aanrader. ##### Philip Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Aug 9, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff were very nice and informative.

Hotel setting is stunning - in terms of the view over the marina and Pico island - and the way it is built out of the old fort is very impressive. Service very good and friendly. Rear room was a little tired but certainly at off season price was excellent value for money. Restaurant was very good and a little more varied menu than most of the restraunts in town. Only criticism of breakfast is they need to buy a new toaster - I popped in two slices which I think will brown by the time of my next visit ;) ##### Richard Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2018
