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 ***** 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.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, very good food in their restaurant with at times really slow and bad service. Hot water in the bathroom can be dangerously hot. Great location. We have stayed here before, many times, and will stay here again.

The hotel was terrible, from the moment we arrived we were given the room we didn’t book jus 1 tiny double room instead of superior suite with queen bed and single bed. The pillows and towels old and pillows stitched with a black thread unprofessionally probably hand stitching.
Breakfast was terrible the bread was dry & stale, serving plates were tiny side plates. Fruits were not fresh the papaya looked very mashed, they do not serve fresh breakfast, I regret booking this hotel & will never again
The bed was not comfortable and was not the same size as the mattress, is this place a cheap hostel? Because clearly it doesn’t deserve even 3stars.
The mini fridge was full when we arrived and nobody told us that if we use the drinks we need to pay for them.. at least give guest a brochure on their arrival so that they know they don’t touch drinks in the mini bar, instead we will have a choice of going for drinks outside.. I was charged for drinks we used after I thought they came with the package of the booking. I should have stayed at the other hotel instead of coming to this hotel, loud noise at night, and the corridors too stuffy & hot, 👎👎

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.

Friendly staff and convenient restaurant. Very noisy in the room and adequately furnished/decorated but not impressive. Clean.
