Oui je sais que le Cap Very est un pays modeste, et que l’île de Sal peut être onéreuse par rapport à d’autres îles de l’archipel. certes la nuitée pour Sal est bon marché, rien à redire dessus. mais quel endroit horrible. Les serviettes sales, le lit inconfortable, les draps douteux.... la personne de la réception est serviable et gentille. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ravidson 9 Jan 2020 ##### Ravidson Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Giorgio, Trento 1 Jan 2020 Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono.

That was bad point cause we took a full day quad trip and after we couldn't get a shower. The good point - Lady on the reception was very kind and nice she make us feel welcome. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 28 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Caroline Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Sébastien 19 May 2019 #### Bon rapport qualité prix. Il s'agit d'un 2 étoiles au Cap vert donc il faut s'attendre à un 1 étoile côte européen. Studio spacieux, manque de quoi cuisiner mais avec tt ce qui se trouve ds les alentours cela pose pas de problème. Il n'y à pas d'accueil mais le joignable par contact téléphonique a tout moment. Bref. BON SEJOUR ! ##### Sébastien Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Apr 2019 El apartamento está bien en relación con su precio. La persona que te recibe, Paola, está siempre pendiente y dispuesta a ayudar en lo que necesites.

Would not recommend, despite the cheap rates. The area however is safe and quiet, but a bit «off» but ok ##### Adriana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Sober but clean and friendly We had a hard time finding the place, because of electricity fall out in Sal and we travelled by night. No phone number was mentioned and we made the complaint about this. The kind people stayed awake for us until 1.30 AM or a little later and gave us an extra room for comfort. The room was very basic, but it has everything you need and it was very clean. I would recommend the place if you want to save money and have a comfort stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 7 May 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rapporto prezzo qualità sconveniente Rapporto prezzo qualità sconveniente In quanto al medesimo prezzo si possono trovare appartamenti più centrali e più confortevoli (divano letto con materasso scomodo e lenzuola usate) ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sal (Santa Maria) Très sympa. J'ai bien aimé. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### J, Fin 3 Apr 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Sufficient and affordable Getting out from the taxi, I was facing a locked door with a small sign above. Clearly this is not a hotel, but an apartment hotel as promised. After knocking for a while, across the street a neighbour directed me to the next building. There I continued to knock on doors and another neighbour finally showed me who the owner was. She let me in and started cleaning. After about an hour the room was ready and that was the last I saw of her (stayed one week). I could find basic stuff (water, sun block etc..) from a Chinese corner shop within 5 min walking distance. There is also fresh fruit sold on the big market right next to the hotel and that building also serves as a good landmark. There are very few tourist around this area, mostly just local people living in the surrounding blocks. It can be quite noisy in the room -- you can hear people talking (shouting) in the streets and the corridor. Earplugs recommended if you want to go to bed early or sleep late. I did not cook, so I can't comment the stove. Water and electricity worked fine. If you just want a place where you can sleep, shower and use the toilet but spend time looking for everything on your own, this can be a good place. This hotel met my expectations, which were quite low to begin with. ##### J Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 19 Mar 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Estadia Ruim Com muita dificuldade (minutos) conseguia-se abrir a porta de acesso geral. As fotos no site não têm nada a ver com a realidade. Os mobiliários são obsoletos com destaque para a cama que é dum desconforto impressionante. A casa de banho emana vapores de esgoto. Dormi/Paguei o 1º dia e as 10h30 saí e fui para outro local. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### barry, normanton 13 Dec 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### basic on a budget not the best looking location set in the local population you have to accept the noise music/children/dogs ,it has the municipal market on the doorstep large supermarket within walking distance security not a problem keys for front door and room both have solid doors , cooking very hard with only basic equipment ##### barry Stayed 21 nights in Nov 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### EDUARDO 18 Jul 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrible Zona peligrosa, habitación con cucarachas... y no nos devolvieron el dinero. ##### EDUARDO Stayed 15 nights in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Alston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alston-Hotels.d182433.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Temple Bar Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Temple-Bar-Lane-By-The-KeyCollections.h35884753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Boavista - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Boavista-All-Inclusive.h24398112.Hotel-Information) > > [Navarria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limassol-Hotels-Navarria-Hotel.h1104331.Hotel-Information) > > [The Empire Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Empire-Hotel-Spa.h799754.Hotel-Information) > > [Porto Platanias Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Platanias-Hotels-Porto-Platanias-Village.h10251301.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Creta Marine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mylopotamos-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Creta-Marine.h2893774.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Central South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-The-Celino-South-Beach.h1168.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Funchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d1232-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Hyde Park Corner Underground Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hyde-Park-Corner-Underground-Station-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6146360-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Occidental Boa Vista Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Royal-Horizons-Boa-Vista.h3533293.Hotel-Information) > > [Murdeira Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sal-Hotels-Murdeira-Village-Resort.h9757219.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Passage Cairo Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairo-Hotels-Le-Passage-Cairo-Hotel-Casino.h1742053.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Madrid - Gran Via by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Madrid-Gran-Via.h6544887.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Praia de Chaves Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista-Hotels-VOI-Praia-De-Chaves-Resort.h3018337.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals South Coast - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitehouse-Hotels-Sandals-South-Coast-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h1108287.Hotel-Information) > > [nhow Brussels Bloom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Nhow-Brussels-Bloom.h525133.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott London City Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-London-City-Airport.h54792524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Hotels.0-l6034120-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Petri Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Petri-Suites.h24215878.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Reef Bermuda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paget-Parish-Hotels-Coco-Reef-Bermuda.h11195.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [British Airways London (LHR) to Luqa (MLA) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-malta-intl/ba/lhr/mla) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHM) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhm/fll/birmingham-to-fort-lauderdale) ### Activities > [Things to do in Cospicua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Cospicua.d6234081.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Irish Famine Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irish-Famine-Cottages-Ventry.d553248621532489132.Attraction) ### General > [Visit The King's Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-The-Kings-Mile.dx553248635976400608) > > [Visit Manfredonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manfredonia.dx6034555) > > [Visit Kirkby Stephen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkby-Stephen.dx6048691)
