We stayed in 3 different rooms as we had to extend our stay due to a flight cancellation, the best and newest ones are the sea view rooms as they have huge & comfy beds and lovely terraces each, the standard rooms really need to be refurbished -some smell really bad as if they had been closed for years, or have no safe or it's broken etc…

The room was clean and comfortable. Location is safe, with some options of restaurants and small grocery stores nearby although because this district is on a hill, car was the main transport. There was not too much to see in the neighbourhood.

I would have spent 3 days there maximum and spent the other 4 days in Tarrafal, instead.
In general I enjoyed my stay there, but Tarrafal it’s a different world, where you can actually feel the culture and be surrounded with beauty. Cidade abelha is also a must and it’s absolutely beautiful.
I would have loved to manage to see the typical ceramics, but people don’t talk much and don’t value much (unfortunately). I actually went to Sai Domingos on purpose to see it, but the locals said it was closed.

I loved the sun, the water, the history of the people, the moutains and the rest of the land, the beaches, Tarrafel and the kindness of the people. Its a great place for a vacation if you just want sun and the easy life on the beach or climbing mountain trails if you like. I will return!!

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde.
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. The Santiago island is not the best if you are looking for a great beach experience. There are other islands with easy access that have superb beaches. We did a tour around the island which was interesting visiting Cidade Velha and Tarrafal as well as Sao Vicente. Tarrafal was a nice beach. The two main markets in Praia are a must see, also where you can buy some mementos.

Praia is a small "African" town, where you stroll around and enjoy the moment. There is actually nothing spectacular to see, but as a whole it is quite enjoyable. We walked thru Plato and along the beaches (Quebra Canela and Prainha). The restaurants there are really great: good food and nice view! But prices are higher than one would expect, more European.
The property was cleaned and well furnished. Location was nice and quiet. I felt save walking alone at night My host, Antonio was awesome, he made sure I felt save and comfortable. He was more than a host, a great individual and amazing guy. He was able to give me a tour of Santiago, and I highly recommend him to any tourist wishing to explore Praia and its environs. We visited beautiful beaches, National Park, and historic locations during our tour. The winding road and the hilly terrain added much value to the tour.
The hotel itself is a good standard hotel. Due due its location near the airport the hotel is very good, if you have a late arrival or early departures. The hotel supports with an airport transfer, which worked out very well. But the most important thing to highlight is the roof top restaurant, where they serve a fantastic fresh and handmade breakfast with big choice. What a surprise, especially as it is included in the normal rate. Don´t miss it!
It was our second visit to the hotel. They have changed things a little bit from the pictures on the website. We missed the portraits in each room that were themes for each famous singer. But the staff was very friendly. They could use a little bit of coaching for western clients don’t charge for every bottle of water. Don’t try to take advantage and use a taxi service that is more expensive. Help your clients and we will tip you better. 
This hotel is about 5 minutes on foot far from the Plateau. They offer rental car and they can give you a sim card (CVmovel) with 5GB at 700 CVE (less than 7€). We have rented a car and we bought the sim card, it was all good. The owner and the staff are friendly and kind. The breakfast is excellent, with continental, sweet and typical food. It's worth it. I recommend this hotel, here you can find the real Morabeza!
The hotel is in a superb location between two beaches with easy short walks access. Also several excellent restaurants above both beaches. The breakfast was very good with a nice variety of fruits, pastries, breads, eggs by request etc. The bar served food untill later hours and had a great sunset view and excellent drinks. The staff was very friendly and polite at all locations within the hotel.
They offer a shuttle service for pick up / drop off at the airport. They also have a car rental, which I suggest getting: the beach is 15 mins walking, but under the sun is not ideal to work (for me at least), so the dar made it really easy. Also, both Ed and Elvin were extremely helpful overall. It was a good experience overall, and the small minor issues that arised were immediately resolved
It was beautifulll stay right in the city center that exceeded all of my expectations. A great vibe and very modern. The appartments are very clean and have all the luxury you want, but what really was amazing was the staff in the hotel. Nowhere in Cabo verde have I been treated so well as here in the hotel. I wont forget their sweet smiles very quickly.
The room was simple but equipped with a fridge. This was a great plus seeing the temperature in Praia. It is really well located as it is in Plateau. Also, it was really cheap for the location.
The person working there were super nice and gave me tips to get taxis, ordered my taxi to go to the port, to get tickets close to the hotel and so on.
The whole apartment was lovely, facilities were perfect, we were able to get some clothes washing done.
Idil was very nice and there was lots of info on trips and the different islands.
There are some really nice restaurants nearby and the Quebra Kanela beach is not far, which is really nice.
Hotel is comfortable with a nice outdoor pool and bar area. ATM is available in the lobby as well as airport shuttles that take 10mins. Hotel staff are very good to repond to things and are helpful. The breakfast is buffet style and very good selection of bread , fruit, cooked and cerials.
The apartment was fully air conditioned. it comes with a kitchen with facilities. There is a safe in the room to keep your valuable belongings. Very helpful staff. You can rent a scooter to travel around the town at the hotel.
Fantastic location on the Pedonal, the car free central street in Praia. Large room. Decent breakfast across the street. Staff went out of their way to help us out when doorlock problems arose, on a Sunday morning no less.
Very clean, quiet, spacial, well equipped and new apartment in a great area of praia! Kind and uncomplicated communication.
We were very happy to stay at this apartment and would recommend it for 100 percent.
This hotel is in a great location. It was a short drive from the airport and walking distance to two beaches and the city's lighthouse. Our room was large and clean. There's a great view from the restaurant.
Great little guesthouse in Praia´s Plateau. Very clean and with super helpful staff. We arranged an airport pickup through the host, as well as got a car rented for the duration of our stay. Great location.
