step by step they should start to renovate - furniture floors... unfortunately everything can be heard, what is going on in the front of the hotel room, or in the floor (the room door does not protect from noise)

the Hotel is located very centrally, close to all mayor attractions, including restaurants and music bars

Weak Wifi inside the room

The facilities are outdated, eg the bathroom doesn’t close properly. Everything functions though.

Central location, very pleasant staff and great pool and food.

The pool was in worse shape then in the pictures. The gym was closed on saturday afternoon and on sunday. The room was a little small.

Breakfast was very good. The room was nice. Shower had a lot of space.

Great location, good food and really nice staff.

The rugs in the halls need to be replaced.

Breakfast was great. The staff - amazing. The location could not have gotten any better for watching Carnival - the reason my clients and I came to Mindelo this time!

Hotel staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Location was an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go.

Relatively small rooms, a bit stuffy and with smelly bathrooms; hence we would have liked to sleep with open windows. But this is absolutely impossible because of extreme noise at night! The hotel is situated on a park with a small bar that opens in the evening. It seems to be the meeting point of all the drunkards => shouting and screaming until 2 to 3 am in the morning ... every night. Regularely accompagnied by the deafening sound of motorbikes without exhausts crusing through the streets around the hotel – some of the local "bikies" seem to enjoy waking up everybody in the neighbourhood with the detonating sound of their machines ...

A perfectly located city hotel. Very friendly and helpfull staff at the reception. Beautiful old wooden floors. Very good and varied breakfast buffet. Good sized (for lap-swimming) and clean swimmingpool. Nice balcony, overlooking a Park (or the pool, depending on the room)

Excellent

Rooms are quite small and the interior looks a bit outdated, but still OK

Nice, small hotel, slightly outdated interior but that was OK. On walking distance from city and beach.

The hotel WiFi was patchy working in some rooms and not in others. The television had only 6 of the advertised 30 channels and none in English. The corridors looked scruffy with poor carpeting. All problems easily solved!

The location was great within easy walking distance of the port and a wide selection of restaurants and bars. The room was good with a good temperature and excellent bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I made my reservation for 2 adults and 1kid got the price. It didnt say the price was excluding the child anywhere. When i came to check in they added the price of the child, very suspicius. I showed my reservation they said they could call the manager and see what they could do about it. I explained that I a week earlier had stayed there a night and made same reservation and didnt pay anything extra. I didnt like to feel as i was being decieved. I dont know if i will go back there again...

Hotell is in the city center. Always clean. Great pool for kids.

I am very happy to have returned to this excellent Mindelo hotel. Great staff, nice room with a nice balcony, nice breakfast.

Stayed in February 2025

Hotel needs renovation. Balcony needs paint. Shower is leaking. Staff is not really friendly. But mostly bored or ignoring the guests at the restaurant, bar or pool. There was a carnaval party untill deep in the night. Reception did not wrote me about it when I booked. Only a small note on the reception desk. I had to pay for a cappuccino at breakfast. And again: they did not inform me beforehand. They just do not make real contact.

Very central location. Close to the beach, restaurants and bars.Good bed. Great view from the balcony. Carnaval parades and looking at a square. Excellent wifi. Delicious cappuccino.

- the bar/restaurant for dinner… very unimpressed by the food that was served! - even though it was cleaned daily, the hotel in general needs some reno work. The entire carpet in the stairs/corridors needs a change or a thorough wash, some tables in the restaurant are wobbly, the bathroom in some of the rooms are weirdly set up and the towel holders poorly fixed - the rooms smell stuffy when you get in - mattress is usually good but if you get the odd uncomfortable one, don’t hesitate to ask for a new room - the rooms facing the square are noisy from the activity outside

- ideally located (5mn walk) from the ferry to Santo Antao - aircon - breakfast was great - the staff was helpful and spoke several languages

Stayed in May 2023

The hotel staff does not warn the guests about the carnival party that takes place in the hotel, which is very noisy and goes the way into the early hours. Worst is the fact that hotel guests cannot attend the said party in the hotel, and have to pay external organizers. Best to avoid at carnival time, if you are looking to have a few nights of downtime

Staff are polite and helpful.

There was quite a lot of noise from the street.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent, especially Nilza. When flying from Fogo to Sao Vicente, the airline left all out luggage on Fogo. We were due to sail to Sao Anteo but decided to rearrange the ferry and stay in Porto Grande to try and let our luggage catch up with us. There were 8 of us and we only booked in on the day of our stay. They were not phased when we arrived with only the grubby clothes that we stood up in and Nilza was very helpful. She liaised with the airline and airports to establish where our luggage was [getting further than we could] and arranged a large taxi for us all to have a happy reunion with the luggage that evening. Wiyhout hteir help the holiday would have been a lot more difficult.
