Residencial Brigada

The rooms are clean and affordable, and the hotel is near the center of Santo António, offering a decent breakfast.

The rooms are very small, and when booking, it's not clear if they have a private bathroom. So, I asked the owner before arriving, and they confirmed that we had a private bathroom. Upon arriving, we found out that this was not true. The owner will try to sell you a € 10 breakfast per person per day, which is decent but not good enough for the price. The owner is very rude, and the rest of the staff are nice. The room window turned into a gas station, so the rooms smelled of gasoline all day and night long. Any additional activity is expensive. The hotel owner can arrange a guide, a car, or a boat, but you will pay a ridiculous price. Consider hiring a local guide and asking around for a tour, as it's often a more cost-effective option.

The facilities and food was very nice and Carlos was a great host - he helped us out a lot with activities!

Unfortunately some money went missing from one of our rooms that made us feel a bit a unsafe and created some problem since cash is king on that island (however, we should probably not have left anything in the rooms since there were no safety boxes)

Carlos was really helpful with the planning our stay at Principe. We certainly made the most out of our 3 days there. The hotel is perfectly situated in San Antonio to walk to the restaurants at night. Residencial Brigada is a good price - quality hotel. We booked the smallest room but it was easy to make an upgrade.

excelente pequeno almoço! a sónia é muito atenciosa e disponível!

casa de banho fora do quarto...

The hotel is good value for money in an otherwise expensive property island,. Carlos did a nice job to arrange the boat trip and car rental (with a lovely driver:guide) for 3 of us staying at his hotel. Carlos can arrange for a price the airport to hotel pick up and meals .. I had a breakfast which was very good.

Very nice breakfast, friendly staff
