Great place to stay. The rooms have AC and the pool is nice and refreshing. Kenito speaks English which is very helpful and he made our trip much much easier. He arranged a car rental for us. When we broke down on the side of the road and called him, he immediately sent someone with another car to switch with us. Highly recommend!

Breakfast was fine - nothing special. Room was clean. Neighborhood was visually not pleasant. However, the whole city is that way. One would not come to visit the city. The people are very friendly and it is a safe city.

The staff were incredibly helpful and the location was wonderful. They weren’t really busy while I was there so they upgraded my room, which was very thoughtful and generous. Would definitely stay there again. Value for money was ok, would have been better value if breakfast had been included. Restaurants close by and easy walking distance so not a problem

The staff were sweet and the management is trying hard to bring positive influence such that the hotel staff could be come competent at service. Wifi works most time, though it was out for a few hours during my stay. I was upgraded which was appreciated, but was also only because thee were no other rooms with functioning AC, fans, in the category I booked.

The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.

They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations.
Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree.
The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights.
The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables.
In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central,
You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese.
No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

It´s a Paradise!!!
It´s a Paradise!!!
You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes.
You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name.
Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

Language barrier is too problematic.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand.
Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble.
Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal!
Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view!
Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched.
There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce.
The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going.
The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
The host are amazing. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was so good! I love the Coffee and the range of fruits.
The swimming pool is a plus! Whenever you feel hot it's handy. There is a beach about 10min walk distance which is amazing. Even though going to the city is a 40min walk you have taxis everywhere!
To eat you have Filomar very close, also a Chinese restaurant and Omali hotel are very close.
Overal, I couldn't find a better stay in this wonderful island 🤗
The garden and landscaping is well taken care off. The location is good - not to far of the main road and is a good basis for discovering the various beaches along the east coast, or if you want to do scuba diving with the Santana resort, but are not staying there. The breakfast is superior. Best breakfast we had on Sao Tome. The dinner menu is very Portuguese, which we liked, but it could use some vegetarian options. The wine menu is great. They offer quite some options.
Perfect location to explore Sao Tome. Loved how spacious the rooms were, the wonderful common space that's also maintained very well for use by all guests and the cleanliness. The staff also went above and beyond to help out regardless of the language barrier so thank you for that. It's close to the city center and you can zoom around on a bike or taxi fairly easily or walk to most places. Needed to work a couple of days at the hotel and the WiFi was strong and reliable.
The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.
The staff were accommodating and helpful. They arranged a rental car and driver for us, making our visit stress-free and enjoyable.
The hotel is only five minutes drive from the airport and within easy walking distance from the town, several good restaurants, and the beach.
We also found the local people helpful and friendly throughout our trip. Sao Tome is truly a paradise. We could have easily spent more time there.
Excellent location within walking distance to the heart of the city but still quiet and tranquil. The owners were extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for days trips, activities and restaurants. They arranged a vehicle rental for us and a day trip to a beautiful island off the south shore of Sao Tome.
Praia is a great place for families, it has plenty of space for children to run and play.
Food is good, and staff are amicable and helpful.
The beach in front of the hotel is not very appealing, but you can easily take daily tours to different parts of the island to enjoy the more beautiful beaches.
The owners were very nice, they came to pick us up at the airport and help us to have a sim
Card. The hotel is very clean and the room is comfortable with AC and a bathroom. The breakfast is good with fresh fruit, juice and omelet on the roof well decorated. Very good value for money - we recommend!
The breakfast was simple, but one of the better ones we had in Sao Tome. It is close to downtown so it's easy to get markets, fresh bread, and groceries nearby. This is a budget hotel and it is Africa so the wife and power go out sometimes, but the AC worked well; that was a huge plus.
What a nice stsy, the lady of the house is amazing,, on top of things and helping out at all times
Small but delicious breakfast, freh local fruits
Free shower at 5 pm on last day and a big hug.
I spend 200 days a year in hotels, but this is an overall experience to remember 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The staff is fantastic, the place super clean and modern facilities. Totally recommended for when staying in Sao Tome city. You will
Meet other travelers here. Rooms are spacious. There is even a kitchen. Sad to leave. Payment options are great to - Revolut is winner!
It’s a very nice small family-run hotel with beautifully manicured gardens. It’s a small oasis with a pool. We were practically the only guest using the pool. Staff are all lovely and helpful. They also let us stay long past the check-out which was much appreciated.
The hotel is beautifully designed and landscaped. Staff were lovely. The general manager went above and beyond by helping us get to TAP Portugal office to sort out some ticketing issues. Great place to hang out for an evening flight.
Breakfast was good. Eggs, bread, fruit. Host is super accommodating and friendly. Place is clean, and close to the airport. Super if you are going to Principe., though a hit of a walk (maybe 45mins) from downtown sao tome.
Beautiful hotel with many and varied communal spaces. Our room was large with all the amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were well done. It is close to the airport.
Basic hotel, but is in center. Aircon, good breakfast, omlete, ham, cheese,, many fruits, smoothie.
Good character, helped me with the rental car and also giving me a discount.
Very nice location, good starting point for exploration. Very "Westerner" friendly setup, comparable with European 4* hotels. Friendly staff and beautiful Infinity pool
Very clean if basic hotel. Food also very good. However, the most enjoyable aspect was the owners and all the staff who were super friendly and helpful.
