From outside, the huge hotel looks efficient, streamlined, cold and impersonal, and inside whether in the common areas or the rooms, it's exactly the same. It is not just the architecture, it's also the furnishings -- everything functional and without charm, the institutional atmosphere overall reminded me of a hospital or an old-age home. It's location is also without anything... More

We booked the hotel for six days between Ney Year's Eve and first days of January 2012. The hotel location is good, only a short taxi ride from the airport and a short walk from the marina and other hotels and bars in town. The hotel staff was very professional and efficient and resolved all our requests within minutes. The... More

Booked the hotel for winter holidays - six days between Christmas and New Year. After our last visit in May 2010 rooms seem to have got new TV's but otherwise everything is the same, fantastic breakfast, friendly service. Really like this hotel, but some details in rooms will soon need renovation after 10 years of service - i.e. especially floors... More

I stayed in this hotel for 6 days in July 2011. The hotel is very clean very quiet and not very far from the center of the city. In any case if you are on this island you don't want to spend too much time visiting Ponta Delgada. It is better to rent a car and visit some great places... More

Stayed here for a week with another two couples. Try to get a room on 5th or 6th floor for a view of the sea and countryside. We were on second floor and you get a view of other buildings, including a local authority housing estate, complete with graffiti. Rooms very tidy and clean with comfortable, but firm mattresses on... More

I disagree that there are business hotels on the Azores as basically Tourism seems to be the only business here on the Azores Islands - Even the location of the hotel could make you believe it's for business travellers it isn't: the surroundings are residential blocks with many banks, offices etc.) No restaurants nearby -for dinner you need to walk...

Had an excellent first trip to Sao Miguel and The Lince is a great place to stay. We booked the trip through hotels.com and got an outstanding rate. The staff helped us book our local car rental and even noted on the maps the best trips to take on the island. They had a quirky system for lighting which may... More

Great modern hotel, with a very friendly staff, good food, nice pool. Perfect for relaxing after a all day out hiking or trekking.

The hotel is primarely oriented towards conferences and business travellers. On condition that you have a car at your disposal is it allso well suited foor touristic stays, although you shouldn't expect resort like facilities. No restaurants in neighbourhood (apart from the hotel itself) A great + is the free garage.
