Spent 8 days here on our honeymoon and would recommend to anyone. Nothing bad at all. The room was not sound proof so you could hear other guests come and go but after all, it is a hotel, LOL! ##### Sandi Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Joanna 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Unhelpful, tiny room Staff was supposed to be able to assist with some simple requests but they were uninterested. For example, i arrived from the airport at 21:30 and asked for a restaurant recommendation. They said everywhere was closed. Not the case at all and I found multiple restaurants open. Then the next day I asked for assistance to book ferry tickets as I have been unable to do so online. The advice I received was go out of the hotel to the left...I was not able to book tickets in time and missed my chance to go to Fogo. Then as I was leaving the hotel I asked if they could call me a taxi. The front desk person told me to go out and catch a taxi myself. Besides that the room itself was maybe the smallest I've ever had in the hotel and you can hear everything. The only thing the hotel has going for it is their location. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Everyone was so kind and the place was central to everything, beautiful patio for breakfast and people watching.

Very noisy in the room and adequately furnished/decorated but not impressive. Clean. ##### Kelley Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david 18 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Right downtown on pedestrian mall. Staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast people were run ragged trying to keep the food replenished and clean the area. Commendable. ##### david ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Attention ! 1st. Be careful ! taxi from Airport to downtown Praia most drivers will ask you for € 20 but the right price is €10\. 2nd. I'd booked a double room (twin) for 2 nights at Hotel st. Maria. The night editor made us pay a supplement of € 85 because we were 2 people in a double room.? I had to insist to get an invoice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kevin 27 Mar 2023 Disliked: Staff & service Property did not honor the booking and only honor bookings made by local travel agents ##### Kevin ### 10/10 Excellent #### lars 7 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the people in the reception and the other staff for their servicemindedness. They tried to find tours and some were pretty good with english or french. Next time I will use it again and highly recoommend it to my friends. You feel good at this former family owned hostel now upgraded to hotel and I understand why other peple liked it. Lars Denmark ##### lars Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Daniel 30 Apr 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities If you’re going to pick a hotel in this city, do not pick this hotel. The food is terrible. The only thing good was the beer and that was in a bottle. The room is very uncomfortable is a joke. You can barely turn around. The pictures are absolutely lies. It does not look like anything like that when you get there the TV only has channels in Portuguese ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Mango-House-Seychelles.h61523750.Hotel-Information) > > [Lazare Picault Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Lazare-Picault-Hotel.h1375133.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Senses Zil Pasyon Seychelles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Felicite-Island-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zil-Pasyon.h15908699.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Seychelles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Seychelles.h2363105.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Westin-Turtle-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1932372.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Azur Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mont-Choisy-Hotels-Coral-Azur-Beach-Resort.h15130326.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Touareg - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Touareg-All-Inclusive.h4813390.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Palmiste Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trou-Aux-Biches-Hotels-Le-Palmiste-Resort-Spa.h3857013.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-Maritim-Resort-Spa-Mauritius.h189441.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ravenala Attitude](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Ravenala-Attitude.h1453642.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aiyana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pemba-Island-Hotels-The-Aiyana-Resort-Spa.h10039225.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Kigali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kigali-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Kigali.h78005462.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerf Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cerf-Island-Hotels-Cerf-Island-Resort.h1484214.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Beach-Resort.h533668.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarisa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mont-Choisy-Hotels-Tarisa-Resort.h1350861.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Cardinal Exclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trou-Aux-Biches-Hotels-Le-Cardinal-Exclusive-Resort.h5084632.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Victoria-Beachcomber-Resort-Spa.h2490644.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ile Maurice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ile-Maurice.h524465.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness - Managed by Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-Angsana-Balaclava-Mauritius.h4595678.Hotel-Information) > > [Kempinski Seychelles Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Kempinski-Seychelles-Resort.h4663247.Hotel-Information) > > [Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trou-Aux-Biches-Hotels-Trou-Aux-Biches-Beachcomber-Golf-Resort-Spa.h2229350.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Karamboa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Karamboa-All-Inclusive.h4813332.Hotel-Information) > > [Heaven Restaurant & Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kigali-Hotels-Heaven-Restaurant-Boutique-Hotel.h12831899.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Desroches-Island-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Seychelles-At-Desroches-Island.h1070988.Hotel-Information) > > [Silhouette Island Hotels Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Silhouette-Island-Hotels-Hilton-Seychelles-Labriz-Resort-Spa.h1456321.Hotel-Information) > > [Casuarina Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trou-Aux-Biches-Hotels-Casuarina-Resort-Spa.h1054143.Hotel-Information) > > [Domaine de Grand Baie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mont-Choisy-Hotels-Domaine-De-Grand-Baie.h74837972.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balaclava-Hotels-InterContinental-Mauritius-Resort-Balaclava-Fort.h2675627.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Kigali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kigali-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Kigali.h17860494.Hotel-Information) ---
