This is arguably one of the most charming houses in Mindelo; after all it's the cafe where Cesaria Evora started her exceptional career. The staff really go out of their way to help. In our case, we received suggestions for entertainment, got superb help with rebooking and paying a flight via bank deposit (included heading to a bank and negotiating with security), and were directed to a scooter rental. We loved the cachupa & fruit salad breakfast; coffee was also very decent.

nothing really. It's on a main street, so there will always be some traffic, which I didn't care about.

Nice Room, very friendly stuff, good breakfast, transport to the airport

Very loud at night

Localização, simpatia do staff

Friendly staff.

Having to ask for a room in the main building. Unclear when booking online.

The location is great. Easy walk from the port and just next to the amazing exhibition of African Art in the old palace and close to the culture centre. The ladies are friendly in the bar and reception.

Check in reception is just a tiny small corridor. A lovely lady though but a dark littel place. Dissapointed that the price did not match the price on booking.com. Knowing that local taxes need to be paid this hotel also exlcudes the commission of 15% which results your price to be much higher than expected. The next disspointment was the view of the room and the bathroom without any lights as well as shaving knive of anither guest. I assume when there is no light a cleaning lady is also unable to make the bathroom proper for the next guest. There is only wifi in the restaurant. Unfortunately they had loud music playing there from a youtube channel on a tv screen. All the windows and doors are open so even the sounds from the street are very disturbing since it is a main street. It is inconvenient because in Mindelo the poor people constantly bother you especially when all doors are open. This is not a comfortable quiet place for tourists. Coffee in the restaurant was served in a dirty cup. The cleaning lady came in the room at 9 o clock thinking that I had already checked out. She did apologize though and later helped me get my luggage down stairs. There is no lift in the hotel. The breakfast was simple but ok. A glass of concentrated orange juice from a pack, a scrambled egg, a coffee and 1 bread, cheese,ham and jam served at the table. No buffet style here. For me it was enough but a larg eater in the morning would probably need more. The receptionist listened to my complaints and suggested I speak with the manager. I was only very little time there so I did not want to waste my time on that it is not my responsibility I already mentioned my complaints. When I checked out nothing was said about my complaints. Complaint solving isn't taken seriously here.
