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.

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.
As soon as we arrived, I recognised the place. I had popped in for a beer on a previous trip while exploring the area on a layover to Maio while staying a mile or so away. The property is in an excellent location for the local beaches. The hotel has a large pool which was not overcrowded and seems to be focused to a business clientele. Breakfast was a typical buffet affair catering to most needs. I did like the Cachupa! Our room was very large. An ideal location to explore the town of Praia and the surrounding areas.
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.
We felt welcomed and relaxed during our stay in Praia thanks to our great experience at the Hotel Happy Day. The room was very clean with a nice balcony. AC, Wifi, Airportshuttle it all worked as stated on the Internet. The breakfast was very delicious. The staff is friendly and really flexible and so will provide you with help and tips for any situation. We would book this Hotel all over again.
Vielen Dank Hotel Happy Day!
The room was nice and clean. I only stayed one night. I arrived late but the owners helped me by booking a taxi to pick me up at the port, they also came to give me the key.
The owners also helped me pick up a aluguer to the mountain by dropping at the « station ».
They were both super nice and really helpful.
The location is quite nice and there is a nice brunch place not too far from the hotel.
It was cheap and close to the airport which is what I needed as I was arriving at night, so it was just a quick stop for me before going to a nicer Airbnb further away. I liked that they gave a bottle of water for guests as we don’t always have time to go and buy some before arriving. It’s not that close to any nice beaches or shops, the location is quite industrial.
The staff was super friendly and arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport at night. The room was cleaned every day, the pool at the roof is so nice and the hotel is from walking distance to the city centre and the beach (15min). It was also not a problem when we wanted to extend our stay by one day. They again arranged a taxi to bring us back to the airport.
The whole apartment was lovely, facilities were perfect, we were able to get some clothes washing done.
Idil was very nice and there was lots of info on trips and the different islands.
There are some really nice restaurants nearby and the Quebra Kanela beach is not far, which is really nice.
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.
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.
The beautiful atmosphere of the Pousada. It’s truly a Boutique Hotel full of charm and the staff is welcoming and always available to help. Plateau is the most charming neighborhood of Praia and the Pedonal street is vibrant during the day and peaceful at night.
The flat is brand new, very clean and it offers everything you could possibly need ( microwave, toaster, kettle, TV, WiFi, it’s very well located, just 3 mins walking from the main square which is in the safest area of Praia.
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.
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.
Spacious and tidy rooms, well decorated and organised. Well balanced breakfast, different every day. Easy access to the best beach in Praia, Kebra Canela beach.
