Maybe it’s because I’ve never stayed in a hotel abroad, so it’s a bit unusual.
There are no disposable items in the guest room, such as toothbrush, comb, small toothpaste, slippers, only a small piece of soap and shower gel. There are floor towels, bath towels, hand towels, and hair dryers. The overall area of the room type is okay, but there is a lot of useless space. There are rocking chairs and two sofas, but no balcony. The floor-to-ceiling windows are large but there are buildings outside the windows and no view. The room is also equipped with a safe and minibar. I would like to remind my friends that the power socket is a European standard, so you should prepare an adapter in advance, or ask the hotel to provide it. It is recommended to bring your own, domestic brand, bull, convenient and easy to use. The product is pictured below. For example, if you are on vacation or staying for a long time, it is recommended to prepare a power strip for your own convenience. The guy at the front desk is very nice. He can communicate with you simply in English and helped me solve a lot of problems. Everyone must be mentally prepared. The locals all speak Portuguese, and only some people in the service industry can speak English.

Stayed one night (booked by travel agency) and my experience wasn't good. The hotel is well located within walking distance of restaurants, shops and attractions. It can also be quite noisy as loud music is played outside. Small room, with modern decor. Upon arrival, I noticed that the sink was draining super slowly (see photo) and the wifi wasn't working (error message "Couldn't get IP address" with both my mobile phone and my laptop). Even though it was obvious that it was a network issue, one of the hotel employees insisted in messing around with my phone for 10-15 min - to no avail, of course. After several hours, the wifi started working, but with multiple hiccups. The same employee came to check the sink and declared that "it was fine". In the shower the water temperature was constantly fluctuating from scorching hot to cold in a matter of seconds, without touching the mixer. I reported this problem and it was "fixed" the next morning, when there was no hot water at all. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Well lit desk area. Breakfast with decent selection. The staff was generally unhelpful and unpleasant.

location is perfect. we booked it for couple of days as a layover to the island of fogo. Some of their rooms are super small but i've seen smaller. Their breakfast is just ok. they can improve there. I WAS DISSPOINTED, HOWEVER, . I BOOKED AND PAID FOR A 1 NIGHT STAY UPON RETURNING FROM FOGO, AND WE ARRIVED TO CHECK IN, FRONT DESK HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL US THAT THEY MOVED our stay TO THEIR SISTER HOTEL to MAKE WAY FOR A GROUP OF EUROPEANS (HAVE TO EMPHASIZE IT BECAUSE CAPEVERDEANS HAVE AN INFERIOR COMPLEX TOWARDS EUROPEANS). oF COURSE I WASN'T GOING TO LET THAT SLIDE. WE STAYED WHERE WE PAID FOR.

Nice Hotel with perfect location but some flaws. The dishes at breakfast was not clean and the bathroom is too small. The door from the shower cab does not close. And it is very loud. You can hear every dog barking outside and every car passing by.

The value for money is unbeatable. The hotel location is perfect very central in a very cheerful street. All the staff is amazing, they helped me in everything I needed. If I was late to the breakfast and something was over I asked for it and they gave it to me very kindly . They even accompanied me at all times to a place near the hotel to cure a problem I had on the sole of my foot. 👏👏 The room cleaning service is excellent.👌 Special mention to Sandra y a Lura they where very attentive and kind. Thank you💖

Downtown Praia is noisy and has its share of fishy characters floating around but this is probably the only location in Praia where one can get real feeling of the town. We stayed in other parts of town where the wealthy reside but from now on we will stay here. The staff are superb. Friendly, accommodating, efficient, and hard working. Great restaurant, great breakfast, and we had excellent dinner too. We stayed in their apartment building. Although the room was big and beautiful, it was extremely noisy at night. WiFi barely worked, and there was no hot water. However, since we know Praia and it's hotel situation a bit too well, we are staying here from now on.

Well located and lively area. Friendly staff. The price is somewhat high for what they offer. Normal breakfast. The lighting in the room and bathroom is very poor. The mattress needs to be changed and the AC does not cool much. Almost the best is the area where it is to see the center of Praia.

we were stranded because of bad weather, the airline put us in this hotel, we were told by the staff that we had a voucher of 1400$ ecv for lunch and 1400$ ecv for dinner, within that amount we could choose without any problem, the surplus it would be paid separately, the first day went well, the second day they changed the rules of the game and put on a buffet with just two dishes to choose from, obviously the cheapest, coffee and dessert had to be paid separately, without the right to a bottle of bottled water. Shower only hot water or only cold water, sink clogged.
