Nice hotel in the pedestrian lively street
Pros:

The feeling of staaying at an old black and white movie hotel, with life in the comommon areas and rooms that open to some kind of an interior patio.
The best and liveliest street in Praia

Cons:

The taxi service they used to book ours canceled the course without warning, we wouldn't have known in it time for our flight if we hadn't asked before the driver should have arrived.

Pros:

Albergo situato in un vecchio palazzo e proprio nella via centrale pedonale del centro storico di Praia. La camera confortevole, il personale dell'accoglienza molto gentile.
Un po' povera la colazione servita nel bar/ristorante proprio dall'altra parte della strada ma essendo inclusa nel costo della camera è stata meglio di niente.

Una elección muy conveniente en Praia
Pros:

Muy bien situado en pleno centro de Praia, en la calle peatonal. Cada vez que pasamos por Praia nos alojamos aquí porque todo queda a mano. El desayuno es en el bar de enfrente y tiene unas cuantas opciones para elegir.

Cons:

Las habitaciones son interiores, la única ventana da al pasillo, lo que deja la habitación algo oscura. Pero el edificio es así, no se puede hacer nada.

We'd go back
Pros:

Location was great, right at the heart of the city! Everything was quite clean.

Cons:

Bathroom: could we have a bit better bathroom? It is really tight, but we had nowhere to hang our clothes, the mirror had a broken 'reflection' cover, ...
Staff: can they at least look at us when we pass by at the reception?
TV: it appears to be something usual in the whole country, but... a TV set in the room could help

Très bon rapport qualité prix pour cette pousada
Pros:

L’accueil a été très sympa
C’est une Pousada simple mais très propre et idéalement située dans le quartier du Plateau
Très bon rapport qualité - prix.
Les chambres sont grandes et le salon commun qui donne sur la rue est très convivial

Cons:

Autant l’accueil a été très sympa autant la personne à la réception le matin est assez peu aimable.
Dommage

Séjour agréable avec accueil très professionnel

Cons:

Soufflerie/Extraction bruyante par intermittence...
