Noise was a major issue as rooms have no noise insulation to stop sounds from hallways. We could hear conversations in the hallway crystal clearly and we lost sleep over this until all guests were asleep. Breakfast was nice. They are trying their best. Nice location close to bakery and mini market. ##### Jonas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fabrice 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel à éviter, pas d'eau. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel, nous n'avons pas eu d'eau pendant 24h. Nous avons dû quitter cet hôtel et en trouver un autre en urgence afin de ne pas passer une seconde nuit sans eau. ##### Fabrice Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### ABDELLAH 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bon rapport qualité/prix Hôtel très correct, propre, bien situé et très proche de la plage de Tarrafal. Personnel sympathique et serviable. Chambre assez spacieuse avec une literie confortable. Mais, le petit déjeuner était médiocre et tous les jours on avait quasiment la même chose. ##### ABDELLAH Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adilson paulo 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything ##### Adilson paulo Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### marc 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cerca de la playa de Tarrafal y de la estación de aluguers.

All rooms have a Cabo Verde singer’s name instead of a number which is nice to learn more culture about the country. Good breakfast served on the rooftop. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this hotel. ##### Myriam Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Séjour très sympathique personnel à l’écoute et à Disposition. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Récif Attitude - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Recif-Attitude-Adults-Only.h2246142.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [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)
