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 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 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!!)

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!

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.

This hotel was on beautiful grounds with many places on the property to appreciate a gorgeous ocean view. We had laundry done here as well and it was done quite nicely. Breakfast was very nice. Staff was very helpful with restaurants and such. Parking was no issue.
