Out Of The Blue

Out of the Blue is an excellent choice for your stay in Açores. Conveniently located in the center of Ponta Delgada, this hostel has a cool and unique vibe to it. The staff is great: everybody is looking out for you and will be happy to help. You can feel this right on the check-in moment or on every breakfast. Breakfast is a treat not to miss: they offer a daily chef's special (eggs benedict, different kinds of toast, etc) and different pancakes. It's a great way to start out the day, in the garden, at the communal table, having your breakfast and sharing moments with the other guests. Out of the Blue also has a daily "family dinner", which is unexpensive and a great way to meet the other guests, the staff and experience Açores dishes and amazing farm to table quality. Swimming pool (salt treatment!) is smallish but it's not really necessary! If you don't want to program your day, you can also rely on them for daily tours.

Little bit of humidity in the room and it was not a kingsize bed as stated, but two single beds joined together. Room was also a little bit on the small side. If you can't live without internet, portable wifi or something like that is advised.

The best part is the cozy feeling of the place, what probably comes from the friendly staff and cute interior. Loved the breakfast location outside in the garden. It was a new experience that there’s no breakfast buffet like in most hotels I’ve been to and at first I didn’t like it much, that I couldn’t actually choose my whole breakfast. But then again, it was like a nice suprise to see what good will come this morning and the food was always made very well.

The breakfast is just fantastic! The people are also super helpful and nice, best place to stay in Ponta Delgada.

Only the coffee. You need good beans, folks. Call Intz48 and get them to roast you some nice coffee!
