It was noisy but the hotel is very close to the ocean.
Good location, best days of the hotel have already passed. Unfortunately we had a room which was pretty dark, with only one small window without any view.
Breakfast was ok, choice was relevant to the size of the hotel.
Not just dirty , very dirty inhygienic bathroom . Very bad homestly . Please pay a little more and atay somewhere where you can have a shower without shoes on . Room is acceptable and large and breakfast is ok ( not great quality but its ok )
Fantastic location and good hotel. Had everything we needed to escape the bad weather on our hike. Wonderfully friendly and helpfully staff. Minor issues were broken light bulbs and bad smell from the bathroom.

Good hotel but balcony above a noisy street (roadwork) and a kitchen with fried smelling
Shower not very good.
The location can’t be any better: right on the promenade of Ribeira Brava, in the middle of the city Center with all its restaurants, the market, the concert stage, local and touristic shops.
The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The hotel is not new, but has everything one needs. Enjoy!
The view was very nice.
Nothing much, good to say, about this stay.
My advice to others would be... "Stay there if there is nothing else available" otherwise run!
We had the best stay at the Flag Hotel! The twin room was just the right size for two travelers. Ribeira Brava was a charming part of the island!! It was quiet and everyone was so kind. Above all, the staff at the hotel made our stay phenomenal. Joel went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible trip! He booked tours for us, scheduled taxis, and was genuinely excited to hear about our adventure. I would recommend this place to anyone.
