Guest Reviews

• TOMAS MIRANDA (8/5): -
• Heather (9/5): -
• Nicole (8/5): -
• Elsa (8/5): - Os quartos tem um bom tamanho. Perto da praia da laginha-10 minutos a pé. Obras no prédio ao lado. Não é seguro caminhar sozinha à noite.
• Marques (10/5): Impecável - A simpatia do staff A não reposição do gel de banho
• Madalena (7/5): -
• Herman (8/5): - Walking distance from the center of Mindelo, nice staff, ok breakfast, nice terrace near the pool We got rooms with a view on the construction site instead of sea/pool view that was described with the room on bookibg
• Tiago (8/5): - Condições, simpatia A chegada informaram-nos que estavam sobre agendados e disseram que tinhamos de ir passar uma noite a um outro hotel
• Bernard (9/5): -
• Cathy (9/5): - Très bon restaurant et chambres spacieuses. Hôtel situé en hauteur sur Mindelo. Vue sur immeuble en construction avec les ouvriers sur le chantier mais nous ne restions qu'une seule nuit.. Demander une chambre vue mer.
• Sophie (8/5): Vue magnifique mais beaucoup de dénivelé - Vue magnifique, chambre très jolie, hôtel moderne et accueillant Situation géographique pas terrible, l hôtel se situe tout en haut d’une petite vallée, ça monte fort et sur des pavés, le soir il faut passer devant des quartiers où on se sent pas très safe. Piscine un peu trouble
• JUBRISA (6/5): -
• Pof (8/5): -
• Claudia (9/5): Perfekt für Stadttrip und auch nah am Stadtstrand - Blick aus dem Zimmer direkt auf den Hafen - super schöne Kulisse, es gab einen Transfer zum Fähre Terminal, das war super.
• Claudy (9/5): Un moment très plaisant - la vue depuis notre chambre, l'emplacement de l'hôtel dans la ville de Mindelo, la gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel Le seul bémol c'est la proximité d'un immeuble en construction qui fait du bruit et un peu de poussière mais Mindélo est en perpétuel changement et il y a de nombreux chantiers immobiliers
• Manuela (7/5): Der Aufenthalt war ok. Wenn man allerdings gerne mal ausschläft, ist das Hotel momentan nicht zu empfehlen. - Zimmer war ok. Das Fühstück war für Kapverdische Verhältnisse gut. Die Küche ansonsten war sehr gut. Je nach Personal das arbeitet geht sehr lange bis leere Sachen beim Frühstücksbuffet aufgüllt wieder aufgefüllt werden. Ebenfalls ist die Wartezeit beim Abendessen recht lang. Das hat mich allerdings nicht sehr gestört da ich Zeit hatte. Die Baustellen nebenan sind sehr laut. Um 8.00 Uhr geht es los und an Schlaf ist nicht mehr zu denken.
• Frans (8/5): -
• Milandou (10/5): Accueil très sympathique. Les conditions étaient très confort. - Nous avons été exceptionnellement surclassés pour notre seule et unique nuit dans cet hôtel.
• arnold (9/5): -
• Helder (10/5): -
• Laura (9/5): - Ubicacion excelente al lado del centro y el puerto de Mindelo. La.hanitacion muy limpia, con buen baño, cama grande y comoda y terraza. El desayuno completo y rico con opciones para todos los gustos. Nos toco la habitacion en el primer piso por lo que no habia vistas y teniamos un edificio en construccion justo al lado.
• Leonardo (7/5): -
• ANNIE (7/5): Hébergement correct sans charme - La vue Impersonnel
• Ana-krista (10/5): - Le confort, la propreté
• Fernando Alberto (8/5): -
• Sergio (8/5): -
• Jan (9/5): - Locatie leuke bar ontzettend goed ontbijtje Alles was gied
• FRMG (8/5): - clean, a good staff, fair price.
• Bruno (8/5): -
• Zilda (9/5): Erg prettig - Het uitzicht Niets
• José (6/5): -
• Sandy (8/5): Très sympa pour s’y arrêter un ou deux jours. - Le restaurant. L’attente est assez longue mais ça en valait à chaque fois la peine.
• Mats Henrik (7/5): - Extremely good views from the room. Decently clean, good location. You had to ask all the time for something to get done, like having soap in the bathroom or coffee for the machine. In the end things worked, but the staff could have been more active. Also, the gym was just some dumbbells and running machines.
• Lars (9/5): Bra - Fantastisk personal Sängen för hård Kuddarna för hårda
• Ray (8/5): Would have stayed longer if it wasn't for the noise - Great views lovely helpful staff Amazing food. Had to get taxi up steep hill No air conditioning Strange noise all night long Building work next door
• Frederic (8/5): Bien placé .vue sur le port inexistante dans Lavillemais - Très propre L’accueil du personnel peu chaleureux
• Frank (8/5): -
• Franck (7/5): Bel emplacement mais trop de (petits) défauts - L'emplacement de l'hôtel est bien situé puisque pas loin du centre-ville - du port et de la plage La piscine qui rafraîchit. Les chambres communicantes sont pratiques. La gentillesse du personnel L'emplacement près d'un hôtel en construction (collé a l'hôtel) donc bruyant à partir de 08h (sauf le dimanche) et de la poussière. L'hôtel est aussi situé en hauteur donc 10min de montée pour y revenir. L'insonorisation de l'hôtel n'est pas top donc des nuits pas forcément très reposantes en fonction des clients. Le reassortiment du petit-déjeuner n'est pas bien géré, il faut parfois attendre souvent ce qui manque (généralement les crêpes - bacon - ...) La playlist de la piscine qui agresse les oreilles (style metal) alors qu'on cherche un peu de plénitude. La vue des chambres qui ne donnent pas sur la mer donnent...sur un mur a 10m ou sont entreposés l'ensemble des sorties des climatisations.
• david (7/5): -
• Chloe (8/5): Belle vue - L'hotel est bien situé en centre ville face au port La piscine privée de l'appartement du dernier étage est un plus car la piscine de l'hotel est assez petite avec peu d'espace pour les transats. la piscine privée est de belle taille La vue de l'appartement du dernier étage Le petit déjeuner est très bon Le restaurant est bon même si le service est lent - Peu de places de parking même si nous avons toujours pu nous garer (attention un immeuble est en construction juste à côté de l'hotel et le parking va certainement devenir plus difficile - L'eau de la piscine privée était verte à notre arrivée. un technicien est venu la nettoyer et mettre du produit mais cela dénote un manque d'entretien global de l'établissement - Odeur d'humidité dans l'appartement et les pièces d'eau - Les pièces deau sont fonctionnelles mais petites - Mobilier hétéroclyte mais fonctionnel. Beaucoup d'espaces de rangement - La terrasse de l'"appartement n'était pas nettoyée, mobilier extérieur vieillot, absence de luminaire extérieur sur la terrasse (il y en a eu mais il n'y en a plus) et aucun parasol. En raison de l'absence d'ombre, la terrasse est peu utilisable pendant la journée - La cuisine est factice : le frigo est un frigo sous plan ce qui est petit pour un appartement de 3 chambres doubles, la cuisinière est débranchée et il n'y a pas de bouteille de gaz. Seul le four est fonctionnel. Contrairement à ce qui est montré en photo, il n'y a pas de lave linge (ni d'étendoir) - L'ascenseur peut être en panne plusieurs fois par jour mais finit toujours par refonctionner - L'accès à la réception est au 1er étage. Il est possible de passer par le rez de chaussée (zone de service) avec ses valises pour profiter de l'ascenseur mais lerez-de-chaussée est toujours fermé, ce qui fait que vous devez prendre les escaliers.
• Ricardo (10/5): - Funcionários muito simpáticos, confortável e limpo
• Corinne (10/5): Merci pour l'accueil - La disponibilité et la gentillesse du personnel qui nous a beaucoup aidé pour que nous nous sentions à l'aise et confortable dans nos chambres. La propreté des chambres,la vue incroyable sur la mer,la jolie piscine. La proximité du centre de mindelo et de la magnifique plage de laginha. Personnellement nous avions besoin de prendre le ferry et on y accède en 15 minutes à pieds (avec 2 enfants) Rien
• Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna Kristina Eva (10/5): - The staff was helpful and friendly. Food was great and the room was really clean and comfortable!
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chloe (8/5): Very good - The hotel is very nice. Very good breakfast and nice view. Room is big enough. Not so far from the centre and the beach. The pool is not the one you see on the photo though
• Richard (10/5): - Alles gut !
• Graham (8/5): Great view, other aspects dodgy. - Best aspect was the great view from my room over the harbour and the balcony to relax on. Good hot shower. I had one evening meal which was good. The location ten minutes from main shops and restaurants also good. In the dining room some of the staff had the unpleasant habit of conducting loud conversations on their mobile phones which is inconsiderate towards diners. Breakfast was only average in quality and some of the staff seemed reluctant to provide a service. The hotel has many plate glass windows which are kept very clean, but at least two people (me being one) walked straight into them and hurt themselves. The frame of the bed is like a rectangular box and I injured my leg on one of the sharp wooden corners.
• Pedro (9/5): Superb -
• Erik (6/5): - Op zich een redelijk hotel, maar er wordt een nieuw hotel naast gebouwd en dat gaat nog wel even duren. Vermijd daarom absoluut de kamers 7, 14 en 21! Die zouden ze eigenlijk voorlopig niet moeten verhuren! Internet is matig en tot 22:00 uur zit er een soort bromgeluid in het gebouw. Het personeel is op zich vriendelijk en correct, maar het interesseert ze allemaal geen ene mallemoer. Het ontbijt is echt niet zo karig als andere beoordelaars beweren. Het hotel is redelijk gunstig gelegen. Mindelo is trouwens geen plaats om langer dan een dag of twee te vertoeven. Gauw naar Sant Antão en de wandelschoenen aan!
• Mark (10/5): - Amazing place, the view from the rooms is very beautiful,good breakfast. The only downside is there's construction next-door which makes noise
• Depina (9/5): Superb -
• Stuart (8/5): Very good - Location, Staff and Balcony Lift not working
• Vincent (1/5): Never again!! - Worst experience ever!! First of all check in was more than 3 hours later than expected. Secondly they organised a marriage fest next tobthe rooms, convering the swimming pool. How can you host people to sleep when there is LOUD music and noise till late after midnight
• Brito (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ostilio (7/5): Good - Basic accommodation. Very good restaurant. Off from Mindelo center, uphill access. Breakfast choice very limited. Staff is friendly but has too many tasks on hand
• Claudia (6/5): - Wir haben nicht das gebuchte Familienzimmer mit 2 Räumen erhalten, sondern ein kleines Doppelzimmer, das gepflegt und mit Sicht auf den Hafen war. Auf Nachfrage wurde uns gesagt, dass das Hotel für uns entschieden hat, was ihrer Meinung nach die bessere Wahl für uns sei. Der Kunde darf also nicht selbst entscheiden. Wir sind nur 1 Nacht geblieben und wollten keinen Stress, somit haben wir nicht weiter interveniert. Der Pool auf dem Dach ist übrigens nicht für die normalen Gäste zugänglich, diese dürfen dafür in den Pool direkt vor den Tischen des Restaurants.

• Stacey (10/5): Exceptional - Restaurant - Food was amazing 👏🏽 Pool is not kid friendly
• Sandro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mireia (8/5): - Alquilamos una opción para tres y nos dieron dos habitaciones juntas. Una de las habitaciones tenía buenas vistas al mar, la otra no. El personal ha sido muy amable y servicial. El hotel está ubicado en el centro. Lamentablemente están haciendo obras al lado del hotel y es un poco molesto el ruido. Todo lo demás es perfecto
• Kathleen (7/5): Friendly staff; hotel itself could be better - The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was tight and not very comfortable. Things were clean but seemed old and not fully functional. The elevator was very tight for us and our suitcases and very stuffy. Good location but have to go up a steep hill the get there.
• Isabelle (8/5): Bon séjour - Hôtel confortable et bien placé, belle vue sur la mer et la ville, à proximité du centre de Mindelo à pied. Très pratique également pour rejoindre le port pour Santo Antao. Chambre familiale communiquante parfaite. Le petit déjeuner pourrait être amélioré (jus d’orange pressé par exemple)
• Daniela (10/5): - A estadia no hotel foi ótima. Muito bom ambiente e o atendimento foi impecável.
• Rene (7/5): Good - Nice wiev over the harbour. Breakfast was not so good. There Were plenty of different kind of breakfast good that was missing The staff was too slow in the Morning. Just one salt and pepper was not enough. You should ha a set on each table.
• Christopher (7/5): Pleasant, clean and good value. - Good views with nice balcony and good value. Basic facilities. Lack of lounge space.
• Paulo (10/5): Exceptional - All staff members were extremely hospitable and friendly! That I had to leave
• Fairlie (9/5): Very comfortable, clean, modern and friendly. - Breakfast was very good. The hotel was located halfway between beach one way and the centre of town the other way. Both walkable and very convenient. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Loved having supper by the pool. Food was excellent. Nothing
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Erica (9/5): Spectacular views of the harbour below. - The views from the balcony were spectacular. The room was spotless and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The fact that one of the pools as pictured in the marketing materials is out of bounds for hotel guests and is only for guests booking apartments. This was very disappointing.
• Maria (9/5): Wonderful view and team -
• Plojharova (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): - Excellent
• Stephaun (10/5): Exceptional -
• Naomi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pippo (1/5): Very not acomodeting - The place it self Avry thing
• Db (9/5): Lovely stay. - Great room with a superb view of the harbour. The breakfast buffet was excellent on the first day. The pool was just right for swimming lengths. No buffet on second day because there weren’t enough guests.
• Angus (8/5): Comfortable and friendly with great views over the harbor -
• Angus (7/5): great place to stay when visiting Mindelo - very helpful staff on desk and in the restaurant/bar steep climb from waterfront. pool is too close to people using the restaurant
• Júlio (7/5): Good -
• Uffe (8/5): A fine choice during our stay in Mindelo - We stayed at this hotel twice as we visited both the island of Sao Vicente and then Santo Antao. The hotel is comfortable with a good location and view to the ocean. During the last stay we stayed in the appartment on the 4th floor as we travelled with our youngsters (even though we had booked 2 separate rooms). Beds are a little hard and the breakfast room/restaurant became quite crowded for breakfast.
• Claudine (10/5): - Cet hôtel est très confortable. La terrasse de la chambre avec vue sur mer est très agréable. Il est très accessible à pied du centre ville mais quand même assez éloigné pour être au calme. Au niveau environnemental, les draps et serviettes pourraient être moins changés (fait tous les jours). Le petit déjeuner est inégal en fonction des personnes présentes et de l’heure, même si on trouve toujours de quoi se nourrir. Cela a été appréciable de pouvoir le prendre très tôt pour un départ en ferry. Globalement, cet hôtel est une très bonne adresse à recommander.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel con confort e prezzi europei in un paese che non è Europa. Ottima la qualità del ristorante.
• Emilie (7/5): Good -
• Linda (9/5): Perfect location for relaxing after a walking trip on San Antāo. - Central location in elevated position so we had great views from our balcony on the 3rd floor. Occasionally ran out of items (homemade yogurt, brown bread) at breakfast - though the breakfasts were generally very good.
• Piter (8/5): Very good -
• Christian (9/5): Superb -
• Francisca (7/5): Good -
• Loes (8/5): Good location, clean and with special thanks to Josina. - Very friendly reception, specially Josina always made some extra effort to make us happy. Good location walking distance to everything and super clean. Swimmingpool is good to swim but not possible to tan. The breakfast, the taste and options are good but everything is always finish and they refill such small portions that it's immediately finish again. Takes long to refill so breakfast takes a lot of time. The gym doesn't really exist, its just a very small room so fully packed with some old fitness apparatus that you don't have space to use it. But there's a nice gym on walking distance for very good price.
• Guenter (10/5): - Schöne Lage über der Bucht von Mindelo, gutes Frühstück und Essensauswahl im Restaurant. Besondere Anerkennung für die stets freundliche und hilfsbereite Dame am Empfang und ihre kompetente Organisation von Ausflügen über Insel und Nachbarinsel und andere Hilfeleistungen
• Javier (10/5): Exceptional - We had problems with the flight and they cancel the stay without any extra charges, really appreciated!
• Blaque86 (8/5): Lovely hotel would stay again - Lovely location and very nice and helpful staff. Room had a balcony which was good. TV froze frequently. Whilst the restaurant was nice and food was good. Felt some items were overpriced for what they were.
• Joost (9/5): Superb -
• Evgeny (9/5): Superb -
• Raquel (10/5): - Very clean. Staff very friendly and courteous. Receptionist went above and beyond to help locate lost suitcase. Will definitely stay there again.
• Christopher (2/5): - We didn't like being advised 36hrs before we landed that that they had cancelled our booking and then booked a hotel close bye and told us no difference in price but the new Hotel charged us almost €400 extra, and not very safe beggars out side morning noon and night and on Sunday morning when leaving for the airport at 4pm a lady out side my bedroom door looking for business don't' book that Hotel not reliable staff were very friendly but that's about all Christopher Cloak Ireland
• Hakeem (8/5): - Nice size hotel with very attentive staff. The location is very good in proximity to what the island has to offer.
• Amir (8/5): Great place in Mindelo - Very good hotel with great staff who are always ready to help. Very central to most places.
