Pé Direito

Ponta Delgada

13 km from Pico do Carvao, Pé Direito is located in Ponta Delgada and provides air-conditioned rooms. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features family rooms. The owner was excellent, always smiling and checking in with everyone making sure they were enjoying themselves. She also volunteered a lot of tips and suggestions if you're looking for things to do. There's a large coffee table with brochures for everything in the common area from car rentals to tours to restaurants if you're like me and are a bit more of a go with the flow traveler. It is possible you get there and no one is at the desk to let you in, but just ring the bell and either another person staying will let you in or staff will hear the phone ringing and get to you in between laundry, preparing beds, cleaning, and other responsibilities they have to attend to. Usually there are 1-2 people on hand. Later at night, there might not be anyone around, but I believe they ensure someone is there when they are expecting a new arrival. When I arrived, it was about 9:30 at night and the owner had just stepped out. Other people let me in and I just hung out for about 5-10 minutes until she came back. And that was just because I didn't have a phone to call them. There are numbers posted you can call via WhatsApp or local number. There is a TV in the common area if you want to watch Netflix or something. It wasn't used much while I was there, but it's available if you want/need it. The beds were comfortable. Rooms have AC with a remote to control the temp. Common areas didn't seem to have AC, but it was never hot inside. There's a patio for smoking or lounging. No view for that area, but it's still a pleasant place to sit and chat. Lots of utensils and cookware in the kitchen area. Multiple coffee and tea options as well as a water dispenser with which you're able to fill your water bottle or a cup for fresh water. Kettle for hot water. There are labels and pens for labeling your food and drinks if you want them to be kept safe in the fridge. Bathrooms were very clean--cleaned every day.
