"This place is way over priced for no wifi and linens that seemed like they were done in the River and dried on the rocks as most São Toméans must do
Not for over $150
I’ve had better everything for $15 a night in west and central Africa
And no matter how much you ask for help they just smile. D DO NOTHING"

Close to supermarket, restaurant and sites of interest in town,

"This hotel is excellent. My only issue was that someone disconnected the hot water heater and I had to check with the staff before I could get a hot shower. My room had a very good refrigerator and a comfortable bed. "
