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.
Good staff, place was spartan but mostly equipped for a short stay. I was here for a few nights after going to a few other islands in CV to see a different part of Praia (I stayed in Plateau at first) and there are some cool tapas and shisha bars nearby. While I didn't cook anything, there are basic facilities and a couple of supermarkets around the corner to the left on the bigger road. Also, vegans rejoice, the only vegan restaurant in Cape Verde is literally next door.
It was our second visit to the hotel. They have changed things a little bit from the pictures on the website. We missed the portraits in each room that were themes for each famous singer. But the staff was very friendly. They could use a little bit of coaching for western clients don’t charge for every bottle of water. Don’t try to take advantage and use a taxi service that is more expensive. Help your clients and we will tip you better. 
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!
Very nice and helpful staff, especially the lady at the front desk and the young lady with a big smile. In case you wouldn't want to bother negotiating prices with taxi drivers, airport transfer is offered. Room is quite small but very tidy and clean. Delicious breakfast including local varieties (e.g. local cheese, chickpea salad). City centre (Plateau) and minibus (aluguer) station are both within a short walking distance.
Only spent one night there and arrived late from the airport. But it was really nice. We had a big apartment upstairs all to ourselves. And the breakfast in the morning was very good too. The staff was very helpful beforehand, arranging a pickup and drop off at the airport. There are a few restaurants 5 mins away by foot and the beach isn't far either but didn't have time to test it.
I highly recommend this hostel, if you are staying in Praia it will be your best choice. Perfect location, right in the city center. The owner of the hostel, Carlos, is a very nice person who will certainly help you organize your stay on the island of Santiago. Well-equipped rooms, access to the kitchen. Definitely worth it.
The staff were very amazing and welcoming,the housekeeping service staff are always doing the cleaning and keeping the environment very clean,the restaurant is perfect and the location of the hotel is very easy to find,In my general overview,I give a 5 star ⭐ to all the staff and management,nice job and keep it up
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.
Very nice accommodation, better than expected. Very spacious, fully equipped, spotlessly clean. The host is lovely and always answered the messages as soon as possible. Overall great value for money. We will be back when travelling back to Praia.
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).
What a great place - modern renovation and an amazing bathroom, efficient air conditioning, great view of the Port of Praia and the perfect location for enjoying the Plateau or walking to the beach area near the embassies
Great apartment in the heart of Praia, in Plateau so close to everything you might need during your stay.
Kitchen well furnished if you want to cook at home.
The host is super nice and accommodating.
Quiet hotel in a residential neighbourhood. The staff is friendly, the room was really big, but the shower had no pressure and no hot water. Transfer from and to the airport was quickly arranged.
The host Maria was very helpful. She showed us places where we could buy food and assisted us with getting transport to go to the airport at a very reasonable rate. A very dependable person.
Very warm welcome from the driver at the airport as well as from the reception staff in the hotel itself.
Nice and varied breakfast buffet.
Very friendly service throughout.
