Limpio y buen desayuno ##### marc Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jonas Aug 20, 2025 Small, clean, efficient rooms. Noise was a major issue as rooms have no noise insulation to stop sounds from hallways. We could hear conversations in the hallway crystal clearly and we lost sleep over this until all guests were asleep. Breakfast was nice. They are trying their best. Nice location close to bakery and mini market. ##### Jonas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### ABDELLAH Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bon rapport qualité/prix Hôtel très correct, propre, bien situé et très proche de la plage de Tarrafal. Personnel sympathique et serviable. Chambre assez spacieuse avec une literie confortable. Mais, le petit déjeuner était médiocre et tous les jours on avait quasiment la même chose. ##### ABDELLAH Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Myriam Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay Nice clean room with balcony. All rooms have a Cabo Verde singer’s name instead of a number which is nice to learn more culture about the country. Good breakfast served on the rooftop. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel. ##### Myriam Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adilson paulo Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything ##### Adilson paulo Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fabrice Apr 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel à éviter, pas d'eau. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel, nous n'avons pas eu d'eau pendant 24h. Nous avons dû quitter cet hôtel et en trouver un autre en urgence afin de ne pas passer une seconde nuit sans eau. ##### Fabrice Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Séjour très sympathique personnel à l’écoute et à Disposition. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024
