Pros:

Le personnel est incroyablement gentil. Ils sont souriants, aimables, et ils nous ont permis d’utiliser les installations en attendant notre vol d’avion qui avait été retardé. Ils se sont aussi montrés accueillants avec nos amis qui ne logeaient pas à l’hôtel. Tout était super! Un coup de cœur d’hébergement depuis le début du voyage.

Pros:

La propreté de l’hôtel et de la chambre est impeccable. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter Mindelo, aller à pied jusqu’à la plage ou prendre le collectivo. La gentillesse du personnel à la réception, wow ! Ils nous ont vraiment aidé à bien organiser nos journées. En plus, ils parlaient plusieurs langues. Merci pour votre amabilité.

Cons:

Un peu de bruit la nuit provenant des passants. Quelques personnes qui mendient dans la ruelle où se trouve l’hôtel , mais il y a toujours un gardien sécurité présent devant la porte l’hôtel ce qui nous a mis très à l’aise.

Excelente
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, en pleno centro y cerca del puerto. El ambiente es tranquilo. Tiene portero. El hotel en general está genial y el staff es super agradable y servicial, nos ayudaron en todo. Tuvimos un par de peticiones especiales para el desayuno y no dudaron en ofrecernos una solución. La habitación era grande y estaba super limpia. El desayuno era muy variado, con fruta, varios tipos de pan, huevos, zumo, bollería... de todo y todo buenísimo. Tiene jacuzzi en la terraza. Sin duda lo recomiendo y volvería una y mil veces a este hotel. Se dio todo genial.

Cons:

Creo que no hay nada que no me gustara del hotel. La estancia fue de 10. No puedo poner ni una pega.
