    No lamp by the bed. Only soap for washing, there was no shower gel or shampoo. Wardrobe was dirty at the top (dust), which made my clothes dirty. Breakfast starts quite late, at 8:00 and is limited in itself, also on the second morning, I arrived later and the impression was that no more food was added after it started - the choice was even smaller than on the first morning.

    Friendly staff. Large room. Bed was quite comfortable as for me. Location is specific, but there is a bus stop nearby, which can take you to the center for less than 50 escudos, it was safe at night in my opinion. There are several small supermarkets nearby, a bank to change money, cafés etc. You can pay by card for the stay. Good fridge, air conditioning.

    Not great isolation so if someone is talking loud in the hallway you hear it in the room

    Breakfast was great, especially for this price point. Room was good enough, top floor you have a nice view, staff was very friendly!

    not the best location but safe!

    Great ‘hostel’ which I’d say feels more like a hotel! One of the best rooms I have had in Cabo Verde for this price! Totally recommend it. The receptionist Bacarri was of great help and very friendly, sound guy! Breakfast was included and it has a lovely selection with fresh Baobab juice too! Wi-fi worked fine as well.

    I'd just add liquid soap to the bathroom and a small bedside yellow lamp for lower light exposure before sleeping. Everything else was great.

    Thank you so much for holding on to my baggage safely

    Few small things. No towel provided, didn’t have time to ask so used my own. Air con remote a little temperamental. Wouldn’t want to walk into town on my own at night from there, but fine in the day. Only a sheet provided.

    Good value, pleasant and helpful staff, decent breakfast for the cost of the stay, large room. Air con ok though remote a little temperamental. Shower fine. A bit rough around the edges in places, and some music playing in the street until after midnight, but overall good value and what I needed.

    can’t think of anything

    The front desk staff Bacary and Andrea were very friendly and always willing to help with anything. The breakfast was great always fresh bread ,fruit,cake ,juices etc Had a very nice clean and comfortable room with balcony. I liked that the place was always kept spotless. Location wasn’t too bad it was just a short taxi or bus ride to town and maybe a 15 min walk to the beach.

    The location is not the best but it is still a walkable distance to the beach or to the town centre - or a short taxi ride.

    Simple and affordable accommodation, comfortable and exactly as expected - good value for money! Friendly staff and breakfast included. I was surprised to discover the room was air conditioned too. Exactly what I needed for a one night stay in Praia.

    Wifi would drop out often but I was hardly in my room so it wasn't a major problem.

    The staff really made me feel welcome and were always available to answer any enquiries I had. I ended up extending my stay and they were very accomodating. I flew in very late in the evening and as a solo female traveller, arriving in to a new city can be quite daunting, but there was already a staff member waiting to help with my luggage from the taxi. Breakfast was healthy and delicious with plenty of options available, and was offered in a lovely communal space. Location was close to supermarkets and good restaurants with more of a local vibe, which I find more enjoyable than what you can find in the overpriced tourist areas.

    See above: the area around is more a residential area, not super downtown. But if you're not looking for many bars and restaurants, you'll be happy here!

    Very friendly staff and good quality rooms. Some of them have private balconies. Also breakfast was good. Though keep in mind that this hostel is about 1.5km from the city centre in a residential area AND you have to walk up and down 2 hills to get there. This is not particularly bad, just noteworthy, especially if you're without a car.

    Very friendly staff. Located in Achada de Santo António, beach is at a walkable distance, you must descend some stairs though. You can take the bus no 6 to the city center (Plateau) a vouple of streets away if you want to explore the local sights. Breakfast was basic. Overall a good stay for a hostel!

    Rooms with slightly worn-out furnishings. In one room there was air conditioning in the other only a fan. Since we were a family of four, we could be put in rooms on the same floor and thus share the same bathroom without being scattered all over the hostel. The shared bathroom could use some renovation, especially the shower cabin.

    Since we arrived in the middle of the night, they organized a transfer from the airport. The staff were pleasant. Breakfast was basic and self-service, nothing special. The location is a bit remote, but peaceful. Definitely recommended for those with a car. There are some great restaurants nearby that are within walking distance.

    At night it was quite noisy outside the hotel. The equipment of the room was little bit outdated and insufficient (for three people).

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast exceeded our expectation as it was delicious! The accommodation is near to the most beautiful beach in Praia.
