We stayed in 3 different rooms as we had to extend our stay due to a flight cancellation, the best and newest ones are the sea view rooms as they have huge & comfy beds and lovely terraces each, the standard rooms really need to be refurbished -some smell really bad as if they had been closed for years, or have no safe or it's broken etc…

Perfect!!!!!!! I booked for my girlfriend's 30th birthday. They made our stay memorable. The staff decorated the room and believe once the door opened, we were surprised by the decorations they made for her. The dinner in the restaurant was really good and I suggest you to order "Atum grelhado", which was delicious. The hotel is beautiful and the swimming pool is calm and provides you a wonderful landscape over the city. There are many cabs around so the transportation is easy. Many thanks to everyone who made our stay special!! Kim & Alex

The room was clean and comfortable. Location is safe, with some options of restaurants and small grocery stores nearby although because this district is on a hill, car was the main transport. There was not too much to see in the neighbourhood.
Offering quiet street views, Plateau Bedroom & Chambre - Praia Center 1 is an accommodation set in Praia, less than 1 km from Praia de Gamboa and a 15-minute walk from Praia Negra.

All the staff was really friendly, the young lady who gave me my keys on check-in, the Guinean man who kept my bags in the basement after check-out, and the manager. I made a mistake booking more nights than I needed and I only noticed this the day before check-in. The manager was very understanding and so I only paid for the night I stayed. The room was really nice with a functioning TV, aircon and private interior bathroom. I was able to easily locate the address with google maps. The accommodation is situated near a main pedestrian street with restaurants and so the night was noisy as expected. The accommodation stored my luggage for me after check-out and organised transport to the airport for me, at a rate cheaper than what the taxi would charge. The taxi driver was very friendly!

I would have spent 3 days there maximum and spent the other 4 days in Tarrafal, instead.
In general I enjoyed my stay there, but Tarrafal it’s a different world, where you can actually feel the culture and be surrounded with beauty. Cidade abelha is also a must and it’s absolutely beautiful.
I would have loved to manage to see the typical ceramics, but people don’t talk much and don’t value much (unfortunately). I actually went to Sai Domingos on purpose to see it, but the locals said it was closed.

I loved the sun, the water, the history of the people, the moutains and the rest of the land, the beaches, Tarrafel and the kindness of the people. Its a great place for a vacation if you just want sun and the easy life on the beach or climbing mountain trails if you like. I will return!!

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde.
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. The Santiago island is not the best if you are looking for a great beach experience. There are other islands with easy access that have superb beaches. We did a tour around the island which was interesting visiting Cidade Velha and Tarrafal as well as Sao Vicente. Tarrafal was a nice beach. The two main markets in Praia are a must see, also where you can buy some mementos.

Praia is a small "African" town, where you stroll around and enjoy the moment. There is actually nothing spectacular to see, but as a whole it is quite enjoyable. We walked thru Plato and along the beaches (Quebra Canela and Prainha). The restaurants there are really great: good food and nice view! But prices are higher than one would expect, more European.
This is such a great find, a beautiful cool colonial house with tall ceilings and immaculately clean. Right in the historic center. The host was really responsive and the house is really comfortable, the room stays cool during the hot humid days, a real bargain for the price considering the beauty of the house and the details of the rooms. Cute little kitchen for shared use as well as a nice little walled patio out back. A great find in Praia! I changed hotels from the hotel Santa Maria and was so much better here.
The room was clean, bright and beautiful, the balcony and view were spectacular. The salt water pool was large, clean and warm. The night front desk officers Luis and Mario were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was very good, as was the breakfast staff.
I also liked that the hotel pictures on the site are accurate - it is surrounded by a very rocky beach and doesn't present itself as beach hotel with an accessible sandy beach. There is a little sandy beach cove next to the hotel where people can swim.
My host, Suely, certainly made my stay very comfortable, from my very arrival into Praia to the home cooked breakfasts, her recommendations, and overall help. In a sense, it felt like staying over with friends. Her and her husband were very welcoming. Other than that, this location is extremely central, close to the main attractions in Plateau, the room has enough space to work along with a little table that helps with that, and the terrace is fun to have a few drinks.
It was beautifulll stay right in the city center that exceeded all of my expectations. A great vibe and very modern. The appartments are very clean and have all the luxury you want, but what really was amazing was the staff in the hotel. Nowhere in Cabo verde have I been treated so well as here in the hotel. I wont forget their sweet smiles very quickly.
the communication with everyone at the hotel food was excellent they went above and beyond to get what i wanted its my 3 rd time staying there i asked for a taxi driver that spoke english to help me with transactions it made my needs met without all the effort without me to stress about it.
It's a decent tourist-class hotel, just off of the plateau. The facilities are nice and the rooftop restaurant is pleasant. The staff is helpful, if somewhat inexperienced, but make up for it with enthusiasm. This isn't glamour but it's clean and affordable if you have a few days in Praia.
The room was very spacious and very clean. The bed was really comfortable. We liked so much that we stayed here every time we had to be in Praia. The driver is very friendly and picked us up from the port and took us to the airport very early in the morning which was very kind of him.
Where should I start. Its all good. We liked the stay, the location, the people that helped us so much, arranged pick up, taxis to other place and all things we needed they helped with. Very nice people, wish them best of luck and thanks again. Lovely place, clean, nice view.
These are really nice apartments (it's bigger and nicer than our own in the Netherlands). The host is super helpful and we were able to store some stuff whilst visiting some of the other Islands. The WiFi is also really fast (30MB down, 14MB up).
The apartment was fully air conditioned. it comes with a kitchen with facilities. There is a safe in the room to keep your valuable belongings. Very helpful staff. You can rent a scooter to travel around the town at the hotel.
As close to a custom boutique hotel as we felt in attention, care, and kindness - from management to staff -; priced competitively. Breakfast is special, outside esplanade cool too. Location perfect to move or stay.
Warm welcome from the proprietors, the studio was very clean, fresh towels, air con, and really nice room. I think one of the best in Santiago island - if not the best for cleanliness, comfort and facilities.
Great little guesthouse in Praia´s Plateau. Very clean and with super helpful staff. We arranged an airport pickup through the host, as well as got a car rented for the duration of our stay. Great location.
The hotel was a basic hotel with good amenities for the area. I thought it was nice and did not really have any issues. The pool was large and there was a small fitness center.
The host was nice! The hotel was very calm during our stay. We had a breakfast twice , and it was very good food. Typical breakfast from Cape Verde!
Overal good stay!
