    It is a little old. Internet not so good. Unstable. Rather expensive given the facilities etc…

    The location is really good to take the ferry (by foot 5 min to the harbour) and to visit Mindelo by foot. The room downstairs can be noisy . The breakfast is nice. The staff also very nice.

    It is a bit run down, some easy fixes here and there would make it much better. There is a rooftop terrace and a barbecue garden but currently they both stand empty. Some chairs or sunbeds would make it nice to hang out. Would be good to provide a shampoo as well.

    Great location and price. Nice oldschool vibe and spacious rooms. It definitely has potential, with a little care it would be great.

    Very convenient location near the ferry terminal in Mindelo for taking the morning ferry to Santo Antao. Friendly staff set out breakfast early for us before taking the ferry. Not fancy, but good value accommodation.

    The internet was patchy and the bathroom had a bit of a smell, it was probably just old plumbing, but as long as the door was shut it was ok.

    We loved the lovely faded grand wooden staircase up the middle of the building. The room was very clean, although the bathroom was very small (my husband is a very tall and big man, he wouldn't really have managed the shower if we'd used it). It's clearly an older building, solidly built decorated in a traditional CV way, that held lots of charm and interest. It was a bed for the night ahead of an early ferry trip and the location was superb. And it had great air con. The staff were so sweet and got up sharp to make us an early breakfast for our early ferry trip. Breakfast was great, the usual, ham and/or cheese sandwiches or paninis, yoghurts, coffee/teas, yoghurts and juice.

    Downstairs room can be noisy as you can hear the help talking outside the door. Some confusion on the tax rate for foreigners. I have been charged 276 CVE for person since I have been in CV in every place which is already annoying. The attendant was adamant that the rate was 552 instead. He finally relented to the 276. I think the attendant didn't understand the tourist tax.

    Attendants are helpful.

    A little hard to find, but it's in the same house as the pizzeria.

    10 min walk from the port. Very nice staff, good breakfast and a cool building.

    Its expensive for the local population, the locals who are in the trade of hotels, boutiques have no interest in the local needs only fostering the tourist which would lead to unhappiness and affects on a household. Everyone is deserving of pleasure.

    Position of the hotel to sea. I like that its clean NOT like Praia which has garbage issues and sewage flowing down the main road occasionally in Palmarejo .They take care of their sea life like the turtles, the fishermen were concerned about the plastic, somehow it hasn't occurred to Santiago to take care of their island. The lack of understanding that we are all connected, taking care of the environment is taking care of ourselves has not happened in Santiago.

    We only stayed for the night as we arrived late from Praia and left early to Santo Antão. The room was spacious, clean, and had all we needed. The personnel was very helpful and friendly, stayed up late to welcome us and had breakfast ready at 7 on the morning.

    I have no negative comments.

    The localization is excellent - close to the ferry terminal and very close to the city. Very large room, A/C, clean bathroom - the hotel worth to consider as a point to visit the city and the islands. Very supportive staff.

    Communication could be better. I have texted for multiple days to request a change of dates in stay. No replies until we had to pay.. Also the facilities are a bit old and some parts just break down.

    Nice location and nice entree Hall! One of the better looking buildings on the whole island
