Pros:

Small, clean, efficient rooms. Noise was a major issue as rooms have no noise insulation to stop sounds from hallways. We could hear conversations in the hallway crystal clearly and we lost sleep over this until all guests were asleep. Breakfast was nice. They are trying their best. Nice location close to bakery and mini market.

Hôtel à éviter, pas d'eau.
Pros:

Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel, nous n'avons pas eu d'eau pendant 24h. Nous avons dû quitter cet hôtel et en trouver un autre en urgence afin de ne pas passer une seconde nuit sans eau.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Hôtel très correct, propre, bien situé et très proche de la plage de Tarrafal. Personnel sympathique et serviable.
Chambre assez spacieuse avec une literie confortable.
Mais, le petit déjeuner était médiocre et tous les jours on avait quasiment la même chose.

Perfect stay
Pros:

Nice clean room with balcony. All rooms have a Cabo Verde singer’s name instead of a number which is nice to learn more culture about the country. Good breakfast served on the rooftop. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
