    There were a safe, multi-channel TV, and a mini fridge bar in my suite. This hotel was located in a very central area close to downtown center as well as the fruit & vegetable market nearby. I had a such great stay and would have extended the stay, thanks very much.

    It had a particularly good and fab location - just next door to Justice Palace. This hotel was in a historic area. My standard room had a minibar, satellite television, and climate control.

    Comfortable stay, as always. Good standard and ideal place in the heart of Praia. Favourable and fab location for Praia, not far from the pedestrian area at Plateau, the old part of town, markets, restaurants, bank, stores, music in live and a main shopping street. Also, close to the market. Cozy, airy room with a good bathroom. The views over courtyard. The staff were very friendly and helped us with public parking.

    It was reasonably priced. It was an ideal hotel in Praia. The staff were very attentive and friendly day and night. Meals were nice, and there was Restaurante Avis near the property.

    Unfortunately Wi-Fi was very poor, and the bed was very bad.

    Nice building and rooms with a bathroom. Bonus point for a safe, multi-channel TV and a mini fridge bar. Marvellous location close to restaurants and shops and easy access to a supermarket and stores. Also, easy to get to Palacio Presidencial.

    I had a one night stay at a hotel in a convenient location with good WiFi. The staff was friendly and helpful. Despite a minor issue with the credit card reader, they quickly resolved it and accepted my payment without any hassle. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was enjoyable. I'll recommend this hotel for a short stay.

The breakfast offered was outstanding and provided a good start to the day. the staff were generally helpful and friendly, making the stay more enjoyable.
