j’aurais du me méfier des commentaires agressifs du propriétaire. 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.

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 !

Quite bad

Not at all clean and no staff available upon our arrival. Would not recommend, despite the cheap rates. The area however is safe and quiet, but a bit «off» but ok

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.

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.

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.
