Sehr schönes Zimmer , kostenlose Minibar (non-alc). Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam! Zur Begrüßung hat man die Möglichkeit ein Wine&Cheese tasting zu machen (complimentary). Einzig der Spa Bereich hat nicht ganz meine Erwartungen erfüllt, ist aber zweitrangig, deshalb eine eindeutige 10/10 Empfehlung!!!

A very nice new hotel in the middle of town. Staff was extremely friendly. Excellent breakfast and very quiet rooms. The bikes they lend for free are nearly new. There was underground city parking across the street for which we paid about 10 EUR a night (not part of the hotel, but useful to know).

Perfect city location with amazing food and service! Steps from great dining, nightlife, and even a live classical concert during our stay. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh cheeses, meats, breads, and made-to-order omelettes. Staff were warm and attentive, and the spa/pool were beautiful despite a couple of minor maintenance issues. Would gladly return!

Four of us loved our 4-night stay at Nine Dots. Our rooms were lovely and well-serviced. The breakfast each day was fabulous. The staff was fantastic. The lounge was wonderful. The pool and sauna were beautiful and restorative. The access to Ponta Delgada was terrific. We are so grateful for our time at Nine Dots and hope to return again some day!

Honeymoon We had the honor of being the first guests at the hotel and spending our honeymoon there. We were picked up at the airport by the manager and taken to the hotel. I have NEVER seen such a hotel emerge out of nowhere and immediately surpass all the hotels on the island. The attention to detail is stunning. The decor throughout the hotel is exquisite and of very high quality. The room is wonderfully quiet, and every day there was a fresh and clean room with fresh fruits and new drinks. EVERY request was like a command to the hotel. The staff is absolutely friendly and accommodating. Every smallest question was professionally answered immediately. I have rarely seen such friendly, professional, and at the same time unobtrusive staff. The breakfast was delicious every day. The kitchen fulfilled every wish. You were always warmly welcomed to eat. The staff remembered our preferences and paid attention to every small detail, tailoring everything to us. The wellness area is very clean and very relaxing. Incredibly great pool, and the Turkish bath is very good. The hotel's own bar is also the best bar on the entire island. Even on the day of departure, there was a packed lunch. It's not a pompous hotel. It's a quiet luxury that no hotel on the island can replicate. This elegance, in the middle of the Atlantic, is worth every penny. During the high season, we will definitely c

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for 3 nights at NINE DOTS as we explored Sao Miguel. A newly renovated space means everything is clean and works as expected. Loved the high ceilings and wide hallways and room was also spacious and clean. Staff was helpful when looking for dinner ideas and finding a more cost-effective parking option. The Spa pool was perfect - warm, relaxing, inspired design. Would certainly stay here again.

I had an amazing massage (Bianca) and all of my interactions with the front desk were a pleasure. I was also very impressed with the housekeeping staff. They were so kind and good at their jobs. The pool area is soothing and stunning. The breakfast was plentiful and had everything I’d ever need. Really a great place!!

The location of the hotel was in the middle of Ponta Delgada which was very beneficial. The facilities in the hotel were very good. Service and food in the restaurant and bar were also very good. The room and its facilities was good too, our only whinge was the time taken for hot water to arrive after the tap was turned on. The staff were excellent and friendly.

The hotel itself is beautiful, with modern amenities and a good sized room. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. A complimentary wine and cheese was offered upon our arrival. The only small things that we noted were the king size bed is not actually a king, and there are not near enough staff working in the restaurant. There was one waiter for the entirety of the indoor and outdoor seating area and we waited over an hour for him to come back after taking our drink order. The hotel restaurant had amazing food, but the drinks came from the one bartender upstairs and we waited nearly an hour for cocktails. Otherwise this was a great stay!

Good central location with walking access to all the main attractions. Street is traffic free from 11am-7pm which means a short walk from the taxi/transport drop-off if you arrive between those hours. Excellent customer service at reception and though small, the bar and dining area are convivial and comfortable. Our room upgrade was one of the 3 rooms with a large terrace ideal for alfresco driniking/dining

The spa was a bonus and transports you to a Swiss health resort after a hard day hiking or boating it is the ultimate relaxation. Staff were amazing and couldn’t be more helpful. Have stayed in a few of the other best hotels on the island and this beats them all!

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Nine Dots in Ponta Delgada! This unique art hotel stands out with its eclectic and creative décor, blending artistic elements that give the place a distinctive and charming atmosphere. While the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, they are thoughtfully designed, cozy, and full of character. The hotel’s attention to detail and artistic touches make it a special place to stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The location is also great for exploring Ponta Delgada. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, artistic hotel experience, I highly recommend Hotel Nine Dots!

Very cute boutique hotel! I really appreciated the art and little touches throughout. All the staff were super friendly, warm, and welcoming! Communication was prompt—the hotel reached out right after I made my reservation to confirm my ETA and ask if I needed to book a shuttle. Shout-out to the front desk team, especially Vincente and João, for their excellent recommendations on places to eat and visit, and for making accommodations to store my luggage and insulin. A special thank you as well to Màrcia and the restaurant staff for their warm interactions and great service! I will definitely be staying here again! Conveniently located within walking distance of Ponta Delgada’s main attractions. I appreciated the warm hospitality of this hotel!

This was my second time staying at Nine Dots, and it was just as wonderful as the first! I booked a standard room for a shorter stay, and the room met my needs. What keeps me coming back is the incredibly friendly staff — they truly make you feel at home. I arranged an airport pickup, and Hugo greeted me with a warm, friendly smile. When I arrived at the hotel, all the staff welcomed me with open arms, as if I had returned home again. A special shout-out to Gonçalo and João for their kindness and hospitality! Hope to see you all again soon!

This hotel has a lot going for it, being centrally located in Ponta Delgada. But, paying almost US$500 a night, we were very disappointed with the room we got the first night.

However, the GM Pedro gave us a grant room for the next night. His kindness and the wonderful staff made us feel much more at home in this art hotel, where we ended up feeling very pampered

Location
Super central and walkable near the waterfront, marina, and dining; the pedestrian street can require a short walk for drop off, and parking is in nearby garages.

A very nice new hotel in the middle of town. Staff was extremely friendly. Excellent breakfast and very quiet rooms. The bikes they lend for free are nearly new. There was underground city parking across the street for which we paid about 10 EUR a night (not part of the hotel, but useful to know).

Right in the city center. Close to the coast and super walkable. Staff is amazing, always there and ready to help with whatever you need. Parking available upon request and very short walk from the hotel.

Good central location with walking access to all the main attractions. Street is traffic free from 11am-7pm which means a short walk from the taxi/transport drop-off if you arrive between those hours. Excellent customer service at reception and though small, the bar and dining area are convivial and comfortable. Our room upgrade was one of the 3 rooms with a large terrace ideal for alfresco driniking/dining

Four of us loved our 4-night stay at Nine Dots. Our rooms were lovely and well-serviced. The breakfast each day was fabulous. The staff was fantastic. The lounge was wonderful. The pool and sauna were beautiful and restorative. The access to Ponta Delgada was terrific. We are so grateful for our time at Nine Dots and hope to return again some day!

We were so happy that we stayed at nine dots. It is a small intimate boutique hotel located in the center of Ponta Delgada. The hotel was lovely as it was only a year old and was totally charming. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant itself was where we had one of the best meals. The staff provided snacks and water and the hotel pool was lovely. Highly recommend this hotel

The hotel itself is beautiful, with modern amenities and a good sized room. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. A complimentary wine and cheese was offered upon our arrival. The only small things that we noted were the king size bed is not actually a king, and there are not near enough staff working in the restaurant. There was one waiter for the entirety of the indoor and outdoor seating area and we waited over an hour for him to come back after taking our drink order. The hotel restaurant had amazing food, but the drinks came from the one bartender upstairs and we waited nearly an hour for cocktails. Otherwise this was a great stay!

Perfect city location with amazing food and service! Steps from great dining, nightlife, and even a live classical concert during our stay. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh cheeses, meats, breads, and made-to-order omelettes. Staff were warm and attentive, and the spa/pool were beautiful despite a couple of minor maintenance issues. Would gladly return!

We had the best stay at the Nine Dots. The included breakfast was great, the pool was great, the bed was super comfortable, location was amazing but what made this place stand out most was the staff. We were blown away by how we were treated by the staff, from the breakfast servers, front desk attendants, staff in the bar- all staff we encountered were top notch. I’d not only stay here again but I’ll be telling everyone about the Nine Dots!
