On our first two nights in the Hotel in August last year the pool was closed and we were treated to a fashion parade and a graduation ceremony with accompanying very loud disco music until after midnight. On our last day someone removed money from my room. Upon being informed the manager made two comments. Firstly that it was my... More

Very well located (main city square) and clean. Breakfast was ok. We booked this hotel because of its pool and when we arrived, realised pool was empty!! Although the manager said later that guests were offered some other pool, nobody offered us nothing!! Moreover, since the hotel was in renovation, we had cold water in shower very often!!! At the...

The hotel was just what you need as a base for exploring downtown Mindelo and the harbor, or if you intend to travel on to Santa Antao, or visit the island of Sao Vicente.

It has no elevador but it only has 3 stores :-). It has a very inviting swming pool if you just wanna to relax. Staff is very helpful... More

My partner and I stayed here in October at the start of a fortnight’s island hopping. We arrived in the early evening after a 6-hour fight from Gatwick to Sal, a few hours layover in Sal airport, a 45-minute shuttle to São Pedro airport on São Vicente island and a 20-minute transfer to Mindelo. The hotel is situated on the... More

definitly the better hotel in Mindelo, nice pool, had a nice room with balcony overlooking the (sometimes noisy) square, hot (!) shower, I really felt spoiled after a week of hiking in San Antao
