At the hostel, all rooms have a desk. All rooms include a coffee machine and a private bathroom with a shower, while selected rooms also offer a kitchenette fitted with a fridge. At Mix 2 rooms include bed linen and towels.

The terrace is nicely decorated with a great view of the city. Dinners every night were delicious and the staff/ owners were friendly. My bed and room was comfortable with nice hot shower.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff was amazing, and it was lovely to be able to go and visit the shelter. Even in the hostel you can enjoy some of the animals. You can cuddle with the cats, and there are some dogs. Even with the animals there, the hostel is super clean! The facilities are basic but good. It's a very nice place to meet new people and explore the city.

    Very big and nice apartment. Just as seen in the pictures. Everything is new and well maintened. Also a big plus is that you have a small supermarket next to the entrance, and also a nice spot to have some breakfast and lunch. It's also pretty easy to walk to the city center of Mindelo. It's like a 15 min walk. Even at night we felt safe. Taxi is like 5 minutes and it never took that long to get one. Also the people in Cabo Verde are really friendly and helpfull.

    This is probably one of the best hostel I had the chance to visit. The staff is super nice and they’re doing a wonderful job in keeping the place clean every day. Also, it’s perfectly located 5min from the beach and city center. And obviously, I already miss my little friends 🐈 🐕 welcoming you every time you enter 🥹

    Great location! It is very cheap. The beach is lovely as are the people of sao Pedro. We would stay in sao Pedro rather than Mindelo. Great for walking to the airport. The staff put breakfast out so we could eat before our very early flight. This is a home and you are welcomed and trusted in it. Comfortable bed.
