Hotelli oli aika yksinkertainen, mutta siisti. Respaa ei ollut, vaan paikan hoitajan kanssa keskusteltiin WhatsAppilla. Sisäänkirjautuessa hän tuli näyttämään paikat. Huoneeni oli aika pieni, mutta siisti. Ilmastointi toimi hyvin. Pistorasia oli sängyn takana piilossa. Sen sai esiin sänkyä vähän siirtämällä. Keskustaan oli lyhyt kävelymatka. Aamiainen tehtiin tuoreena eli sen tekemisessä kesti pieni hetki.

I really recommend this hotel. You can cook and wash your clothes. The quality is good with the price. There is Wi-Fi, an AC, a microwave and an electricity generator. Near all the amenities.

I first came across porcelain because some of the staff gave me a ride from Inhale Beach. Free of charge! They were very kind and considerate during the trip, and I was very thankful. Their service standards are above average. Some small and big things simply cannot be purchased with money.

About $30.00 per night spent for three nights. Unless you have your bags, a mototaxi is available at std 20.00. Very helpful manager in English. Other staff members are excellent, though only in Portuguese. Bring euros because there are no international ATMs in town. There were numerous money changers on the street and we didn't try, but apparently, you can get a visa cash advance only from a bank on Monday through Friday. Most mototaxi rides around town are the same and take a shared taxi to Santana Beach. The guesthouse is simple but contemporary. Other guests frequently used the electric stove while it was shared. Modern yet basic, the apartment. AC. An adequate amount of comfort for the mattress. A guest room and a tiny balcony. Although the toilet and shower water were in the same room as the bed, it wasn't a big deal. WiFi functioned in good condition.

Excellent location, very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are clean, there is a little street noise but still acceptable. Parking across the street is possible and safe. Also, they are opening a new restaurant downstairs.

Lovely hotel in a great location to the centre with nice rooms and great breakfast. However, Sao Tome has frequent power cuts and the hotel does not have a generator which means you could be out hours or even without any electricity or internet. This isn't great for paying guests.

I arrived early in the evening and all the lights were off. Door was locked. No reception. My kind taxi driver called the hotel and after 5 minutes a young man appeared. He didn't speak any English at all. He was kind and took me to my room. He was about to leave me to myself, when I asked if I shouldn't officially check-in or sign something. He then took me to his boss who was in another room. He didn't speak English either but he spoke some French. He was also kind and helpful and helped me get some water because there wasn't any drinking water in the room, which should be standard in a country where you can't drink the tap water. The bed was rickety and hard and the shower head couldn't stay upright, so it started hanging down after a few minutes. The water came out not so much like a stream of water but more like an aggressive mist 😂 The AC worked but the remote didn't work so well, so it was hard to control the AC. In the morning I needed a taxi for the airport, but because there's no reception I couldn't ask any staff to order one for me. In São Tomé & Príncipe there aren't official taxis driving around everywhere. You have to ask a local if they can take you somewhere. Yup, that's how it works. I didn't know all this, so I walked for 3-4 kms before asking a local hotel (with a reception) if they could help me with a taxi and they told me how it worked with the locals. Not exactly the morning I had hoped for. Didn't get to try the breakfast. Not the best experience.
