Hotel Central, hotel in São Tomé

Hotel Central is located in São Tomé. This 3-star hotel offers luggage storage space. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

The location is exceptional, everything is in the walking distance from the hotel. The only thing which may more far is a beach where you can swim, but it is no problem with all transport facilities. The personnel is welcoming and always ready to help.

Emoyeni Gardens, hotel in São Tomé

Emoyeni Gardens provides beachfront accommodation in São Tomé. This property also boasts a restaurant and a year-round outdoor pool. All rooms are fitted with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels....

Great communication with the team before arrival. Jane offered to set me up with tours etc. upon arrival, even trying to connect travellers to share excursions. The room was comfortable and had a good size. Air-con worked without a hitch, but insulation/ventilation was quite good, so I actually didn't need it much. The pool is a bonus, but the beach opposite is actually is nice for a city beach. It's a little far from shops/supermarkets, but close to the nicer restaurants in town. Unlike other places in São Tomé, I felt the staff genuinely enjoys working at Emoyeni Gardens and was always friendly and courteous.

Pestana Miramar São Tomé, hotel in São Tomé

Located in the Gulf of Guinea on the island of São Tomé and Príncipe, Hotel Miramar by Pestana offers an outdoor swimming pool, terrace with sun loungers and a garden.

The most remarkable thing about The hotel was the receptionists (Vania, Jerseley and Isaias). They were very professional, friendly and supportive. I wish I could remember the names of all the staff who worked at the restaurant throughout the week. They handle well a few rude customers. They always remained calm and respected them. I think you should place a notice board at your hotel stating that you won’t tolerate racism or any discrimination against your staff.

    An unknown jewel!

    An unknown jewel! We visited idyllic places, saw the most amazing sunsets over tropical beaches & saw very few tourists. Most of the locals were very friendly and helpful. It is a photographic paradise.

    They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

    Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.

    Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations. Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree. The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights. The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables. In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central, You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese. No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

    It´s a Paradise!!!

    It´s a Paradise!!! You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes. You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name. Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

    Language barrier is too problematic.

    Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand. Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble. Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal! Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view! Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

    The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched. There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce. The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going. The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.

    The owner, Nilda, is a genuinely nice and friendly lady who is very helpful. She coordinated with a money changer for our Euros to Dobras at a better exchange rate than anyone else. Our room was simple but clean and comfortable. The shared bathroom was also very clean. Free street parking and strong Wifi are two pluses. We used this casa as our base to explore São Tomé and it was perfect. Lots of great restaurants in town and easy to explore the north, central and southern sections of the island from here.

    A rare gem. Small charming hideout at the edge of the world, right next to Sao Tome's best beach that you'll probably have all for yourself. Friendly service, good housekeeping, basic but cosey bungalows, great food. No amenities like hot water and 24/7 electricity, but the privacy and care you get more than make up for it. Oh yeah, the dog really likes to get petted :)

    This hotel is at a great location which is right across from the beach and walking distance from town. The owner and staff were very welcoming to us. On our last day it had rained heavily the previous night which caused floods so we were unable to go tour the southern part of São Tomé. The owner let us stay in our room for free until late evening to catch our flight!

    Nice hotel not far from the sea. I particularly remember the great atmosphere and the friendliness of the ambitious staff. Breakfast was fine, freshly prepared egg variations and fresh fruit. Very helpful: the free late check-out on the last day. I was a guest for a week and really enjoyed my time. Thanks for all. And greetings from Germany.

    Amazing location and flexible management. Also, the 'caretaker' family next door is superbly helpful. If I go back to Sao Tome, this is where I'd stay, for sure. Highly recommended. I loved the stay. New building. Quiet A/C. Quiet fridge. Great, spacious bathroom. Hot water, internet, everything was amazing by Sao Tome standards.

    Praia is a great place for families, it has plenty of space for children to run and play. Food is good, and staff are amicable and helpful. The beach in front of the hotel is not very appealing, but you can easily take daily tours to different parts of the island to enjoy the more beautiful beaches.

    The hotel is on a quiet side street so not much noise. Most places in Sao Tome were in walkable distance but you can easily get a taxi or moto from the hotel. I liked the design of the room and it had good AC. The staff were very helpful even when there was a language barrier.
