Lovely old building, the courtyard / cloisters give it real character. Bit drafty because of the style of the building, and I imagine when it´s busier it could be a bit noisy (it was built for quiet monks!), but I slept really well in my 2 nights there. Staff were low profile but really nice and friendly if you needed them for anything. The hostel was clean, provided the usual Azorean hostel breakfast, and had free wifi in the tv/living room (not in the bedrooms). I got the bus from the airport, the bus stop is just 5 mins walk from the hostel. The bus to the sirport and Madalena only runs twice a day in each direction, though the times were fairly convenient for my needs. Overall, a good value place to stay for a solo traveller.

´Beautiful old building and good value accommodation

Well located, good facilities, simple breakfast, exvellent view over the sea.
Rooms are comfortable and spacious and there is a very pleasant inner courtyard. Good place to stay for a couple of days and explore the island.

Nice stay in Pico 

Clean and quiet. Our room had a fantastc view from the window directly facing the ocean ans Sao Jorge Island. The atmoshere is great, it seems to go back to a movie setting in XVIII century because the hostel is located in an old monastry with a nice courtyard. rich breakfast is available. I really believe it's one of the best hostel I have ever been. It's also nice to think that this nice renewing of an historical building is made by the local authorities and Youth Hostel Azores Association.

But here some CONS:Far from the airport and there is no bus service, just taxi that you have to contact directly by your own. The receptionist just gave us the list of numbers without helping us. The guys were not really friendly. Super poor WiFi. Far from Madalena the biggest city on the island

XVIII century movie setting in an old monastery

I had a friendly welcoming with a room with a view to s.jorge. Nice breakfast and silence . There’s a wishing tree next to the Pousada , where you make a wish and go around the tree 3times :) right in front there’s natural pool:)

Beautifull spot

This beautiful historical building, located in the small village of Sao Roque offers inexpensive, clean accommodations.  The staff is excellent. 

However, unless you have a car, you'll be held hostage by expensive taxis (€15 airport) or by paltry bus service that ONLY runs 2x per day.  If you're on a budget, use Rome 2rio ap to plan your transportation-- you'll need your plane or ferry to arrive at the right time to ride the bus. 
Cars can be expensive on this island $50-100/day.  

The hostel kitchen is clean with limited hours for access, and Spartan supplies --as in there's not even oil or salt & pepper, or a free/leftover items from others.  There's a Spar grocer 2 blocks away. However, there's some decent cheap snack bars nearby and pricier options, so you won't starve. 

Wi-fi is spotty and only works near the reception due to the stone walls. 

This place has major potential, but needs to invest in better Wi-Fi, screens on windows (why are there no screens anywhere when there are so many insects and it's a hot climate?!), some kitchen basics,& more furniture for outside so people can gather.  It definitely is monastic in temperament 😉
