"Emplacement juste en dessous du plato pour séjour authentique et pourtant très proche du centre de Praia à pied, 10 minutes. Nilton est aux petits soins pour ses hôtes, très bienveillant. L'appartement est très confortable et pratique. Comme dans beaucoup d'endroits au Cap Vert il n'y a pas l'eau chaude mais cela n'est pas gênant même au mois de janvier. Nous sommes enchantés de notre séjour chez lui. Il y a des jeux publics pour les enfants presque en face de l'appart! Merci Nilton!!"

"Unsere Buchung hatten wir Wochen vorher gemacht, man wusste also, dass wir kommen. Vor Ort war die Kommunikation erst recht freundlich und man gab uns das angeblich "beste Apartment" des Hauses. Wir schauten uns ein wenig um und stellte dabei fest: - Die Fernbedienung zur Klimaanlage fehlte - Es gab so gut wie keine Ausrüstung in der Küche, also keine Pfanne (nur zwei uralte Töpfe), kaum Gläser, nur eine kleine Tasse und einen einzigen Becher, kein Sieb, kein schafes Messer, keine Schüsseln,...

Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Barceló Praia Cape Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate, stylish rooms and some of the best beds we have ever stayed on. But what makes this place special is the staff. Without exception, everyone was friendly, professional and really tried to make every interaction personal and friendly. "

Hotel Vip Praia

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was lovely. Stayed one night on my way to Airport next day. Staff was very lovely, the views are beautiful. Breakfast was good, better that I expected. Room was spotless clean A little small but very cosy and comfortable. Excellent location Overall recommended and if come back to a hotel would not mind staying there again."

Hotel Vulcão

4/10 Poor

"First off, the cleaning quality was very poor, I have images that I would wish to add to this review. From the walls, cobwebs all over the corner of the room, visible blood from previous tenant smashing mosquitoes on the wall, and small ants crawling all over our bedsheet. We paid for the pool, since my mother is an elderly so it’s safer than ocean water, yet we had to ask for it to be filled with water, which was never complete. Similiar to request we had for additional towels and fixing of in our room which was never filled. If the owner is reading this, don’t go yelling at your employees especially your cleaners being that they were walking around with all cleaning supply in hands no proper cart system in a huge hotel, wearing fliflops while cleaning, and all of them never smiled implying the harsh reality of their conditions - I gave it a 2 start because the holiday event we went too was lovely but not worth knowing your employees were working 18 hrs shift leaving at 2-3 am to return to work at 9 am the same day. This place is exploiting their workers with minimum support, fair wage and training. As a Cape Verdean born guest, it was disheartening seeing what blood and sweat kept a “hotel”, an illusion of rest and relaxation, alive. The man that owns this place needs a huge reality check. "
