    Average hotel.

    rating20 May 2026

    The good is the location. Easy walk to everywhere in town Check was fine we got in a little early and the room was not ready. The staff did not seem super interested just said come back later. The room was a good size but dated. The bed was hard and carpet and furniture could use an update. Breakfast was average. The usual buffet. Nothing à la cart. Overall a convenient place to stay. Not really a four star hotel. Arlene Nazaré, General Manager at Hotel Do Canal, responded to this review Dear Sirs,Thank you for your stay and for sharing your feedback.Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, as indicated in the booking conditions. Whenever possible, we do our best to make rooms available earlier; however, this depends on occupancy levels and room preparation.Regarding breakfast, we would like to inform you that à la carte options are available and clearly indicated in the restaurant. We regret that this information may not have been communicated clearly during your stay.We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again.Kind regards,Arlene NazaréManager

    rating26 Mar 2026

    Of course everyone has to start somewhere. But we trust reviewers with more experience and more likely not to be AI. Told there are 3 hotels in Faial and this is ideally located. Good breakfast buffet beginning at 6:30AM. Spacious rooms. Helpful staff. Convenient for tour, airport pickups, etc. We stayed 3 nights and would definitely do so again. Tiago Moniz, Owner at Hotel Do Canal, responded to this review Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your comment. We are very pleased to know that you had a good experience and that everything met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you again on a future occasion. Kind regards, Tiago Moniz, Front-Office Manager

    It is a nice hotel, pleasant to stay. The free covered parking is definitely a bonus in the old town area

    rating22 Dec 2025

    The Hotel do Canal is conveniently located at the waterfront, walking to the marina and the old town centre. Even though the old town has very limited street parking, this hotel has its own covered parking (some 20 spaces, apparently for small cars only). The rooms are of decent size, nicely decorated and furnished. The included breakfast is well stocked with very good varieties of hot items, cold cuts, bakery and cereal. Tiago Moniz, Owner at Hotel Do Canal, responded to this review Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. Kind Regards.Tiago MonizFront Office Manager
