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!

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!

Wonderful stay. On arrival we got an upgrade. The staff was accommodating, helpful and friendly. We were centrally located to many stores and restaurants and could get a bite or cocktail right out front of our room. Breakfast was included and quite delicious! They even delivered a cake and sparkling wine for my bday. Highly recommend!

I loved my two stays at Nine Dots! It is a gorgeous boutique hotel in the heart of Ponta Delgada. The pool and steam room a real oasis and fabulous. The rooms spacious and lovely. The staff so nice and helpful. I appreciated a room upgrade on one of my stays and on the other that I was able to check in early at 7a on my next stay. Also breakfast buffet was convenient and very good. I look forward to returning again to this gem of a hotel!

Perfect boutique hotel in town. Excellent sleep, quiet rooms, lovely bed linen and delicious breakfast. 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!

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).

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 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!
