Pros +
- Close to everything Quiet and clean Lovely setting and gardens
- The registration agent was also the bartender which made it convenient. The pool was nice and the hotel was great and in a great location. The staff made lots of wonderful recommendations for us and we were never disappointed. Walked all over during the morning and night as well.
- - Great breakfast, lot of choice- Good location- Kind staff
Cons -
- The beds were firm/hard. Could have used a pillow top mattress cover to soften it up.
- - Felt that there was not invested anything in this hotel for like 20 years- Smelly rooms- Beds were very hard, woke up with backpain- Unpractical
- We have nothing bad to say about our time at the Hotel Sao Jorge Garden. Absolutely loved it.

Super helpful staff that were very flexible during our stay and after it (storing luggage until the evening boat arrived), great room, recommended!
The room was spacious in fact I had a massage therapist bringing his massage table so it’s spacious and comfortable
We loved our stay at the Hotel Sao Jorge Garden. The location was perfect. The hotel was clean, the staff was very helpful, and the breakfast included was a big added value. We will be back!

The hotel is located near the shore, so if you have seaside room you'll get an amazing view on the Atlantic and Pico island across the channel, nice to spend an evening on the balcony with a bottle of Azorean wine and cheese from Sao Gorge). Velas town is small, so everything is within a walking range from the hotel. Rooms and their equipment look a bit 'tired', but ok. Breakfast is excellent, there are hot meals: scrambled eggs, beacon etc — when you read in comments "nothing to eat for vegans" it's usually a reliable indicator that the food should be good))), the same is true for this place.
The hotel organises wedding parties on its grounds without any limits on time and noise. If you are unlucky to stay at the hotel on the same night you won't be able to sleep at all due to loud music, yells of drunk guests and fireworks at 2am. I just don't understand why the management do this while there are other guests in the hotel.
Location & Staff
We were there for 7 days with the exact same breakfast everyday . Would be nice to have a better variety from day to day . Microwave available to heat up some of the choices . A big No on the cold quiche
Great Location, central,, car rental across the street,
Nothing . We were in there in April a little rain. People were very nice. S22
The reason I couldn’t give this hotel a great rating was primarily due to the use of highly perfumed cleaning products which I was extremely allergic too. I had to leave the room the first night and read in the lounge area. It eventually got somewhat better but then another underlying smell occurred. Despite this it had an amazing view of Mount Pico and the breakfast included was good with lots of very fresh fruits and good guality food.
Very hard mattresses
Great location within walking distance of places in town, lovely views and pool, good breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Super locationGreat BreakfastAlso the best view from the pool and the outdoor gardens of this place which are amazing!!!
The view was amazing. Location was excellent. Right across the street from Car Rental. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Walking distance to many good restaurants and natural pool. 10 out of 10 for the staff…when we checked out at 6 am, it was raining so hard, the guy on duty at the front desk drove us to the ferry….(we had planned to walk to the ferry, and had not booked a taxi, so instead of letting us walk in the rain, we were grateful for the offer to drive us…he went above and beyond!!)
Great location, lovely views, great pool
Very clean, nice lloking. Friendly and helpful workers. Good breakfast.They let us checkin earlier, helped with laundry, ordered a taxi and assisted with other requests
Beautiful view over the oceanGreat garden and swimming pool Comfortable room Nice breakfast Very friendly and helpful staff
A decent hotel. Rooms came to age though. Location is excellent: the view is superb and it is close to the center of Velas. Good breakfast with a lot of choices.
Uncomfortable bed with plastic cover. Noisy outside unit of the airconditioner.
Great view, location, breakfast, comfortable
The garden with the swimmingpool couldn't be situated better. The view from the balcony in the room was spectacular as well.The walking distance to the restaurants in town is only five minutes (the hotel has none).Breakfast was good. Staff is friendly. You can get towels for the pool at the reception.
The only thing we cannot recommend ist the hotel taxi service. The driver did not bring us exactly to our location but he left us 300 m from the actual place on a very steep hill, so that we had to walk down the steep slope with all our luggage. Either the driver did not dare to drive down or didn't want to, which either way is not a good recommendation.
Amazing sea views and really friendly staff
As it is quite humid, the outdoor chairs are hard to keep clean.
