If you’re going to pick a hotel in this city, do not pick this hotel. The food is terrible. The only thing good was the beer and that was in a bottle. The room is very uncomfortable is a joke. You can barely turn around. The pictures are absolutely lies. It does not look like anything like that when you get there the TV only has channels in Portuguese

Staff was very friendly! Spent 8 days here on our honeymoon and would recommend to anyone. Nothing bad at all. The room was not sound proof so you could hear other guests come and go but after all, it is a hotel, LOL!

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.

Terrible,my son very disappointed 👎
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, 👎👎

Tiny little hotel on a lively street with the most charming, accomodating staff. Perfect value for the money + a nice little restaurant downstairs with adorable cats who sleep on the roof across the way. Picturesque + a lovely landing for an entree into Praia + all it has to offer.

Right downtown on pedestrian mall. Staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast people were run ragged trying to keep the food replenished and clean the area. Commendable.
