I loved everything! I had the pleasure of spending a week at Partenope in Terceira Islands, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The hostel itself is modern, fresh, and incredibly cozy. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring that I had a restful night’s sleep every night. The fast Wi-Fi was a great bonus. The water pressure in the showers was superb, providing a refreshing start to each day. However, the highlight of my stay was undoubtedly Iris, our amazing host. Her hospitality and kindness truly made the experience unforgettable. She went above and beyond to ensure that I and every guest felt appreciated and cared for, and her tips on local attractions tours and dining were invaluable. During my time at Partenope, I not only enjoyed the incredible facilities but also felt like I gained another family. I have found a place I can return to again and again, and I can't thank Iris enough for everything she did to make my stay so special. If you're looking for a fantastic place to stay in the Azores, look no further than Partenope. I wholeheartedly recommend it and can't wait for my next visit! Thank you for everything, dear Iris ;)

That my holidays finished and that I couldn't stay more days there :D

I do not exagerate when I chose to rate this wonderful place with 10 out ot 10. I am travelling almost all the time, visiting 87 countries so far, staying in hundreads of hostels around the world. And this is my first and only one 10 rated hostel. The way Iris and her staff are running the place is absolutely uncommon. It is a great example about HOW TO RUN a place that you love yourself and you have created with love, respect and consideration for the guests. There are a lor of small but beautiful details ( lockers, plugs, lights, glasses...) that the guests could discover and enjoy, because the place is extremely clean, quiet, perfect adapted fir the guests needs.The rooms (I stayed în a 6 bed dorm but I was alone or we were only two or three persons) are cosy, with their own bathrooms. The common spaces (kitchen, lounge at the entrance, terrace) are welcoming. The breakfast is great, fresh and healthy, perfect to start a new day in Angra. And if you are lucky (as I was) you pay a good and correct price (regardind the season of course). The pictures on the walls, the memories from Naples (Iris is coming from that city, in Campania, Italy), the two amazing colours (blue and white) make Partenope a wonderful place for the travellers looking for their European cultural and historical roots. I would finally to congratulate Iris and her staff, to thank them for everything and to hope that I will be able to visit again Partenope, Angra, Terceira, Azores, Portugal in the future...

This was the best hostel I stayed in. Number one out of hundreads all around the world.

Our stay at Partenope was very comfortable and pleasant. The moment we arrived we were amazed of the easy and modern way to open the door to the building and our room (through an link/app), without having anyone wait for us late at night to give us the key. Our room was clean and cozy, a comfortable place to rest after exploring the island all day. The bathroom conditions were immaculate as well. The fact that breakfast was included took a worry off our shoulders, but some fresh vegetables would've made it better. The kitchen has a stove, microwaves and utensils you can use anytime. If we needed anything Iris and her colleague were always super friendly and ready to help. The place is 2 minutes walking distance from the taxi station, 10 mins from the beach and max. 20 mins to supermarkets and the main bus station from where the buses to every corner of the island leave. I can only recommend this place and hope to find a free room/bed the next time we'll come to visit! Thank you! :)

Clothing rack helped dry some clothes, kitchen with all utensils, breakfast as courtesy was nice touch, host was checking on us from time to time. Location is very central, close to bus stops.

Small inconveniences that can be easily fixed: - shelf right on top of the already short sink: difficult to wash face or teeth (can be easily fixed by allocating the shelf in one of the corners of the bathroom); - careful not to fully open the window: there are curtains attachment that can break if fully open the window.

Start the day in the best way : breakfast was freshly served with local products: cereals, yogurt, jams, cheeses and ham, fresh bread and cakes, juices and coffee. Iris, the host lady, was kind and always available - she really made me feel like at home! The hostel is centrally located, everything can be reached comfortably walking in less than ten minutes. The hostel is clean, comfortable and new : there is a small kitchen with everything you need to cook something if you don't feel like going out. Beautiful experience, I will definitely come back to visit Iris and her beautiful hostel ( that also has rooms option )

Everything was perfect !

All the great decoration, disposition of the rooms/divisions and cleanliness made this spot really comfortable. I felt at home and felt a super good energy around, even with the short encounters with the others guests.

It had breakfast included, which is really good for our travelling plans! I would only change a bit the products on it (to local bread, more variety or more quantity so all guests can have the same products). Nevertheless, it is a small accommodation, so I completely understand a more simple breakfast system.

Everything. The hostel is a welcoming, beautifully decorated and always very clean. There's anything you need here and, as an important plus, you will feel like you're at home. Iris is a very friendly, caring and helpful owner.

Nothing to say

Very cozy and clean. Nice living room downstairs to enjoy an evening. Quite good breakfast although the variety could’ve been better. Very nice and friendly owner who helps with everything you may need. The room also nice and clean, with a fan and tv with streaming services. Very close to the beach and the city center.

The hostel is amazing!! I think its because it reflects how wonderful the owner, Iris, is!! Everything was perfect and the support and niceness of Iris made the staying an unforgetable experience!! To come back!

Spotlessly clean. Easy check in and door opening with app. Iris is very friendly and helpful. Simple but good breakfast. Espresso machine with capsules for a euro from a vending machine.

Nothing! If I was staying longer access to a washing machine/paid would have been helpful.
