Excellent stay - in a really good location , really helpful staff
Pros:

The hotel was in a really good location - excellent for checking out the rest of Praia, close to Sucupira Market as well las the beach. I walked to most destinations around town and alugers to leave the city were close by as well.
Breakfast was provided by the café across the street and was a simple meal of coffee or tea , sandwiches and some fruit or yoghurt - menu wasn't extensive but sufficient.
Room was comfortable - the aircon comes in handy as it was quite warm.
I think the best thing about the hotel was the staff who were friendly and really helpful - super grateful for the help and assistance in getting my phone back after a day trip on an island tour

Cons:

The bathroom wasn't super tidy at check in and not adequately restocked - had to request shower gel from the staff as there was none at check in.

Top emplacement
Pros:

Dans l'ensemble, tout était super !
Communication fluide du début à la fin
Emplacement au coeur du Plateau, très pratique
Pousada agréable et propre, un batiment avec patio central, plein de charme.
Le petit déjeuner est servi dans le restaurant en face et était bon.
L'accueil n'est pas désagréable, il est juste un peu timide. L'équipe nous a bien renseigné et aidé à trouver transfert, change et sim card.
Bonne expérience !
Chambre propre, manque effectivement de lumière/fenêtre extérieure due a la configuration du bâtiment mais pas dérangeant. Climatisation opérationnelle. Literie confortable.
Salle d'eau propre, eau chaude et pression optimales.

Cons:

Rien

Pros:

L'emplacement au cœur de la rue animée du plateau est un atout.
La chambre est climatisée ce qui est appréciable en ville où la chaleur est moite.

Cons:

Le personnel d'accueil n'est pas souriant, ni hospitalier, en permanence fixé sur son portable. Si on demande quelque chose oil nous répond mais jamais il ne se soucie de savoir si tout va bien. Et la moindre des choses c'est de lever la tête lorsqu'on passe devant eux.
La chambre dégage une odeur bizarre car il n'y a pas de fenêtre qui donne directement sur l'extérieur mais seulement sur le patio. Mais ce n'était pas nauséabond.

Mauvaise arrivée à Praia
Pros:

Nous n'avons pas eu le petit déjeuner car nous prenions un vol trop tôt pour l'établissement. De plus, en arrivant, on nous a signalé une panne électrique qui a duré un très long moment, donc pas d'électricité, pas de Wi-Fi et cerise sur le gâteau le barillet de la serrure de la chambre s'est cassé avec nos affaires à l'intérieur...Pas de solution proposée par l'établissement (une autre chambre, par exemple) il a fallu menacer d'appeler la police pour qu'enfin un dépanneur vienne réparer cette serrure. Nous arrivions à Praia après quelques heures de vol, souhaitions nous restaurer, prendre une douche...
L'argument avancé par le réceptionniste était que nous étions un vendredi soir et qu'il était difficile de trouver quelqu'un pour réparer. Bref, même si l'hôtel semblait plutôt sympathique, bien situé, etc, nous n'avons pas véritablement pu apprécier les atouts annoncés

Not Again
Pros:

Located close to restaurant.

Cons:

On our first day, there was no electricity. On the last and second last day we had no hot water, even though we had reported this to the receptionist. The shower stall door was very difficult to close. Again we reported this to the receptionist and it was not resolved. No follow-ups either. This was our first time to Cabo verde and I'm sorry to say our last. And what's with the house flies. We couldn't eat our meals without constantly swatting the flies.
There is nothing nice about Cabo Verde.
