Stayed at Talisman for three days. Arrived from red eye flight and they took in our luggage while we went out. Returned early afternoon and room was ready and luggage was in it. Always helpful with info on our questions whether about hotel or other needs. Breakfast had a good variety and staff kept it replenished. Sunday night they had... More

Stayed 5 nights & broadly agree with other recent good reviews, friendly staff, clean modern rooms, good food, but location a bit away from the sea front without car parking on site & the hotel layout rather odd without any nice lounge area, but these points aside, a good place to stay.

well located. waterfront, shops, restauramts and attractions all within easy walking distance.. car rental agency's close by. really friendly welcoming and helpful staff. good restaurant on site. good free wifi. i had a spacious comfortable room at the street side with a small balcony.

We stayed six nights. Our room was ready for early check-in. (We booked for the night before our 7am arrival.) The desk staff was friendly and there was always someone available who spoke English well. The buffet dinner we had one night was very good and a good value. The included breakfast was good too. Very nice view from the... More

This is a great hotel for anyone who wants to be well located in the city of Ponta Delgada. The restaurant is great, with a terrace facing a garden, and the staff is fantastic, with a familiar and professional care.

First rate hotel situated in the centre of town by the waterfront. Not noisy. Interesting and attractive art deco type décor. First class staff, very courteous and helpful. Staff can arrange tours etc. and are of more use than the Tourist bureau situated in town. Food is good. Pool on roof is small but that is not a problem.

We stayed at the Talisman for a week in early April and loved the hotel in evey way. It's in a great location in the older part of town, just five minutes from the waterfront and main square. The staff are friendly and clearly want you to enjoy your stay. I think we were lucky with our room - very... More

A very pleasant centrally situated hotel --the room(suite) was clean and spacious although not a great view due to the narrowness of the streets. We asked a taxi driver for a dining recommendation and he immediately said The Talisman which we had tried already for dinner and ended up eating there four times (try the steak on a stone). The...

When we arived, there was some confusion as to how many rooms/ half board query our travel agent had arranged. At first we were shown a room which was very clean but with a poor aspect. We asked if any other was available and were given a lovely room on the first floor.. We loved this hotel and our stay... More
