A bit away from the center. Apart from that, everything was good

Clean and comfy room

I really liked the hotel. Unfortunately, I couldn't take advantage of the pool or the lobby more as my flight was about six hours late. I would like to have stayed another night, but I had a tight itinerary. The breakfast was good. It seems like the hotel would be a good place to meet people at the start of your trip to Sao Tome. The only issue would be the construction happening on the road outside the front of the hotel, but that will be done in time. The sea is close but not as close as the photo suggests. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.

If people are speaking on their phones in the courtyard late at night, you can hear them in the rooms.

Superb staff - before and during the visit. Very helpful. Great breakfast and delicious dinners. Helped me to rent a car too.

The hospitality of the owners. The allowed me a late check out without additional charges. The room was well cleaned everyday. There is a table and a chair in the room for work. Silence at night. Internet worked well. The breakfast was good, including local fruits.

The pool was closed

My room was exactly as expected. Wifi reception in the room was very good. The hotel has a restaurant which I think served tasty food. Breakfast was simple but good. Carla and her husband are very nice and they make you feel welcomed and at home.

Very clean if basic hotel. Food also very good. However, the most enjoyable aspect was the owners and all the staff who were super friendly and helpful.

The Restaurant was unexpectedly not available one night during my stay of two nights and I was there so I didn't have to leave the hotel to get food at night. There were bugs in some of the buffet breakfast food one morning.

Breakfast was poor (They use the cake from the day before); the hotel was undergoing renovations (which made the stay was less comfortable - the breakfast room and the hotel terrace were under renovation); our shower gel ran out and was not replaced when the room was cleaned. When we arrived, a man who was working on the construction site gave us the key, and that was our check-in. Overall everything was disorganised and I couldn’t tell who was part of the hotel staff and who wasn’t. I don’t recommend it.

Room was ok.

My stay in Hotel Kriola surpassed all my expectations. Kriola is a small, familiar hotel facing Ana Chavez bay. If you are looking for a comfortable, well located place, look no further. The room was spacious and the bed extremely comfy. The room had AC, a small fridge and an amazing bathroom. Breakfast is diverse and buffet style. The hotel is extremely clean and located next to the biggest supermarket in all São Tomé island. You'll be located within 10mins walk to all the major interest points (the Museum, Papa Figos restaurant, city centre, Diogo Vaz chocolate showroom, etc...). The swimming pool was amazing to relax in the afternoon. The staff is amazing and will go above and beyond to assist you. Dinner here was one of the best meals of my holiday (I was in Sao Tomé for 9 days so it says a lot). When we arrived at São Tome, we stayed 2 nights in Pestana and I wished I had stayed in Kriola instead because it was, by far, the best hotel in the whole island. I travelled with a 6 year old.

The city is renovating the beach. Totally out of the hands of the hotel. Besides, the end result will make it even better in the near future.

Outstanding. The staff are incredible - before and during my stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The food in the restaurant is delicious. The hotel helped me rent a car so I could reach the rest of the island. I would recommend staying here to anyone
