Damfjord Hotel Boutique is a small, very clean hotel in the heart of Santa Maria, just steps from the beach and pedestrian street. Well-kept breakfast, a rooftop pool to cool off, and exceptionally attentive staff. Be mindful of street noise and book with solid confirmation.
The kind of place that makes you think “good choice”
Some hotels give you peace of mind from the very first minute: you walk in, everything is clean, the air conditioning works, and the staff treats you like a person, not a room number. Damfjord Hotel Boutique usually works exactly like that. Until you remember one thing: reliability matters on holiday.
What this hotel really is
Damfjord Hotel Boutique is a small, well-kept, family-run hotel. Comfortable rooms, spacious bathrooms, consistently high cleanliness standards and a very practical approach: a solid base for sleeping, having breakfast and exploring Santa Maria without relying on taxis.
This is not a theatrical design boutique hotel. It’s more of a compact, pleasant place with new or well-maintained furniture and a level of personal service that, according to many reviews, is its strongest asset.
Location: everything within walking distance
It’s right in the heart of Santa Maria, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, the pier and the pedestrian street. For getting around on foot, it’s close to ideal. The trade-off is that, being in such a lively area, some rooms may pick up street noise, and a few guests mention movement or a darker atmosphere outside at night. This is more about urban life than real safety issues.
Rooms: space, cleanliness and small details
Overall, rooms are described as spacious, comfortable and very clean, with efficient air conditioning and, in some cases, a balcony. Bathrooms are also frequently praised for their size and comfort.
Details worth knowing: not all rooms ventilate equally well. Those without a balcony or proper window can make drying towels harder. And while cleanliness is a strong point, comfort can vary slightly depending on the room you’re assigned — fairly typical in smaller hotels.
Breakfast and rooftop: better than it sounds
Breakfast is generally well liked: fresh products, made-to-order options such as eggs or crepes, and local touches people remember. It’s not always described as very varied, but it is considered solid and well served.
The rooftop is a real bonus: a pleasant terrace and a small pool designed more for cooling off than for swimming. Several reviews mention that the area is accessible and enjoyable at any time of day.
Service: its strongest card
Most reviews point to a clear pattern: very friendly, efficient and proactive staff. They help with room changes if needed, extended stays, and in some cases offer transfers.
When an accommodation is materially correct but truly stands out on a human level, it’s usually because of this: people who genuinely care about their work.
Practical tips: what could affect your stay
– No lift, and the hotel has several floors. If stairs are an issue, request a lower floor.
– Daytime construction or noise may occur during certain periods.
– If you’re sensitive to night-time noise, it’s worth requesting a more interior room.
– One critical point: there is at least one report of a same-day reservation cancellation. This is not the norm, but it’s serious enough to mention. If you book, make sure you have solid confirmation and clear booking conditions.
It’s a hotel that seems to run very smoothly day to day. But on a trip, the one thing that cannot fail is your reservation.
Best time to go
If rest is your priority, periods outside holidays and busy weekends are usually more pleasant in terms of noise and general pace. To enjoy the rooftop, late afternoons after the beach are ideal: shower, a quick dip to rinse off the salt, and time on the terrace.
Who this hotel is for
If you want to be central, walk everywhere, stay somewhere very clean and be looked after by a committed team, Damfjord Hotel Boutique offers excellent value for money. If you’re very sensitive to urban noise or especially concerned about booking reliability, it’s worth being precise about room choice and booking terms. When everything goes as it should, the experience is consistently excellent.
