Oui je sais que le Cap Very est un pays modeste, et que l’île de Sal peut être onéreuse par rapport à d’autres îles de l’archipel. certes la nuitée pour Sal est bon marché, rien à redire dessus. mais quel endroit horrible. Les serviettes sales, le lit inconfortable, les draps douteux.... la personne de la réception est serviable et gentille. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ravidson Jan 9, 2020 ##### Ravidson Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 1, 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jean-luc Nov 23, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Endroit sympa mais pas de moustiquaires !!

That was bad point cause we took a full day quad trip and after we couldn't get a shower.

Il s'agit d'un 2 étoiles au Cap vert donc il faut s'attendre à un 1 étoile côte européen. Studio spacieux, manque de quoi cuisiner mais avec tt ce qui se trouve ds les alentours cela pose pas de problème. Il n'y à pas d'accueil mais le joignable par contact téléphonique a tout moment. Bref. BON SEJOUR ! ##### Sébastien Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2019 El apartamento está bien en relación con su precio.

Would not recommend, despite the cheap rates. The area however is safe and quiet, but a bit «off» but ok ##### Adriana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Sober but clean and friendly We had a hard time finding the place, because of electricity fall out in Sal and we travelled by night. No phone number was mentioned and we made the complaint about this. The kind people stayed awake for us until 1.30 AM or a little later and gave us an extra room for comfort. The room was very basic, but it has everything you need and it was very clean. I would recommend the place if you want to save money and have a comfort stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 7, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rapporto prezzo qualità sconveniente Rapporto prezzo qualità sconveniente In quanto al medesimo prezzo si possono trovare appartamenti più centrali e più confortevoli (divano letto con materasso scomodo e lenzuola usate) ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sal (Santa Maria) Très sympa. J'ai bien aimé. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### J, Fin Apr 3, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Sufficient and affordable Getting out from the taxi, I was facing a locked door with a small sign above. Clearly this is not a hotel, but an apartment hotel as promised. After knocking for a while, across the street a neighbour directed me to the next building. There I continued to knock on doors and another neighbour finally showed me who the owner was. She let me in and started cleaning. After about an hour the room was ready and that was the last I saw of her (stayed one week). I could find basic stuff (water, sun block etc..) from a Chinese corner shop within 5 min walking distance. There is also fresh fruit sold on the big market right next to the hotel and that building also serves as a good landmark. There are very few tourist around this area, mostly just local people living in the surrounding blocks. It can be quite noisy in the room -- you can hear people talking (shouting) in the streets and the corridor. Earplugs recommended if you want to go to bed early or sleep late. I did not cook, so I can't comment the stove. Water and electricity worked fine. If you just want a place where you can sleep, shower and use the toilet but spend time looking for everything on your own, this can be a good place. This hotel met my expectations, which were quite low to begin with. ##### J Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Mar 19, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Estadia Ruim Com muita dificuldade (minutos) conseguia-se abrir a porta de acesso geral. As fotos no site não têm nada a ver com a realidade. Os mobiliários são obsoletos com destaque para a cama que é dum desconforto impressionante. A casa de banho emana vapores de esgoto.
