Reviews of Yria Residencial

Loved everything about the place. Will definitely always choose to stay here in Porto Novo. The he owner is so nice and the service was perfect. She can arrange loads of activities around the island and she helped me arrange a vehicle to explore the island. I paid for AC which was a godsend in June as it was hot but the room is well appointed and I slept really well every nights I spent 5 nights there in total and I’ll be back next time for sure

A lovely little guesthouse with a charming host, Mary. The breakfast, served on the balcony, is both generous and delicious!

A clean room. A hearty, sweet breakfast served on the terrace with stunning views of the ocean and the neighbouring island. Daily, except on Sundays, room cleaning. Friendly, helpful staff. Quick check-in and check-out. A free welcoming drink, even I didn't find time to taste it.

A "musical" bed making sounds after each my movement. The water temperature in the shower is good for hardening the body. A TV set was on holidays in my room.

The owner was very friendly a d helpfull with tours etc. It helps if you speak french . The great breakfast at the rooftopterrace was a highlight in our holiday.

The Hotel is a bit far from the center. Beds are a bit small

- Breakfast - the room was clean

The 'king-size bed' we booked via booking.com was only 140 cm wide, rock-hard, and creaked with every movement. A couple we met at breakfast also complained about their bed. The room was tiny, noisy, but clean. The TV didn’t work. We left early without receiving any credit or discount. Even the tourist tax was initially supposed to be charged for the entire stay by the lady. The breakfast was good. We had much better rooms with an '8+' rating on other Cape Verde islands, so for us, this is a '5'.

Friendly host. Very generous and delicious breakfast

No fan or AC in my room, a bit disappointing when you're on a tropical island. I was told there was hot water only in the morning but I had to take all my morning showers cold, no hot water Location outside of town is not ideal, especially if you don't have a car

Very friendly and kind staff Breakfast of good quality Reasonably priced

A little remote from central Porto Novo

- Super friendly owner and very helpful - Place is very clean and wifi perfectly smooth - Good breakfast with regional foods served on a balkony with an amazing view

Very friendly reception. The lady was very helpful to arrange transport. Nice rooms and a very good breakfast.

Quiet location, 10minute walk into the centre of Port Novo. Fantastic island for hiking. Very friendly people. The owner Marie is a lovely person, nothing was too much trouble and she even helped me sort out my visa which was about to expire.

There was nothing to dislike

Friendly B&B place. Good breakfast

Nice friendly place, clean, well managed by the owner. Wifi was working okey, breakfast tasty.

Warm water only in the morning, a lots of papers with info hanging all over the room and in the hall. Place a bit further away from centrum.

Sandra is very friendly and helpful. Made me feel at home right away. Amazing breakfast! Such an amazing view from the patio.

Room didn't have AC and mosquito nets weren't working properly but just small details in an otherwise one night great stay as I had to catch the ferry very early in the morning.

The hostess, Marie, runs this beautiful little place and keeps it spotless like a rose in the desert. Very friendly and she makes a breakfast you would only dream of. We had a room with aircon, which we would recommend in general on CV, and it was clean and nice with an ok (but short) bed, a little fridge and a small bathroom with shower. Communication in English is a bit tricky, but nothing google translate couldn't solve and even with some good laughs :-D Lots of info available in the house if you want to go trekking ... which we weren't. We would definitely come back if in Porto Novo again!

Located outside the city center at the end of a dirt road, this is not the place to where you walk with a lot of luggage ... so good there are taxies who will take you there from the ferry terminal for 200 CVE :-) Feels safe though, and a walk to the city is about 15 minutes. The surrounding in general is not very inspiring, as it is partly deserted and partly occupied with half built houses. This is mostly a place to sleep or use as a base for activities other places. Security cameras all over the facility, inside and outside, which you'll simply have to disregard or else get paranoid. No elevator, so rooms and bar/breakfast available by stairs only.

Best breakfast during our whole trip to Cabo Verde! The owner is top professional, and you can clearly see that she invests time and money to make the pension a nice place. Highly recommend this pension.

The location might be slightly too far for walking to/from from the ferry terminal. For us it was ok.

Fantastic experience. Best hostess, well organized & kind, very helpful with helping to arrange a trip, taxis, etc. Just a lovely human! Really excellent breakfast, variety of things every day, great start to the day. Everything is super clean, well appointed, and nicely decorated - you can tell a lot of care goes into running the place. Good wifi throughout. Nice patio for relaxing. Location is in a peaceful neighbourhood but still just a short walk to everything (10m to centre of town). Hot water only in the morning but that was a non-issue, it goes til noon. And after noon in this weather you'd want a cold shower anyways ;) Definitely recommend taxi from the ferry port, it's only 2eu/200escudos and you save yourself the uphill walk with luggage. Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing!

The hotess is super friendly and caring. She prepares everyday big and delicious breakfast. She cleans the room everyday which nomal hostel doesn't provide. The room is spotless and comfortable with view of mountains. I enjoy very much for my stay in Yria.

Non

I am writing this review 21.2.2023, more than 1 month after the end of my trip to Cabo Verde, so I will not remember all details: Good comfort, good breakfeast, a very friendly owner. No noise disturbances. Convenient to stay if you take the ferry next morning before returning your rental car for example.

It is a bit far from the center but what is "far" in such a small town... It is not the most idyllic view but the city is not idyllic as such. If you want that you need to stay at a different place on the island.

The Host Miss S. is wonderful! A quick witted as also a well prepared Professional. The accommodation is in a pristine condition, it is basic but has nevertheless everything for your short term stay. Everything is spotless clean, neath and well maintained. Please ask Miss S. for any help or advice. Don't book any transfer etc. on the island without speaking to her. She knows how things go down, will book collectivos to the hiking trails for a local price.

Be aware that Google maps maybe showing the wrong way to the location. If you meet a neighbor who's try to sell you a very expensive deal for transfer don't do it. The accommodation is a bit afar as also in a unpaved roadside. Both is not the fault of the host so not considered a flaw of the accommodation itself. If you are unsure to make it by foot take a taxi for 300 CVE
