Very Good

Front desk staff was excellent, he was able to get us a taxi to pick us at the airport. The dinner had limited options for food. They only had certain food available. Breakfast was good
The hotel is conveniently located. The staff was helpful for arranging taxis, storing baggage. The breakfast was Cabo Verde average. The hotel and the room were not in a good shape though. The room is a dark hole, there is a fuse box humming loudly the whole night (so you have to turn the whole electricity off, including AC). The water takes about 10 minutes to warm up a bit. The pool is very dirty, small and uninviting, „fitness“ isn‘t even worth description. On top of that at the end they charge you extra for 2 tiny bottles of water, there is no openly visible price tag and the water was free in all our other Cabo Verde places. It‘s not about the money, it‘s about the attitude: trying to cheat and earn most money out of a worn down place. Sorry, no recommendation.
Didn’t find it as rated, was a letdown. Room clean and soundproof, pool is for photo only, more like a large tub, plus was more green than blue.
Food was good but expensive
Good free breakfast
Great place to stay! The staff are great and friendly. They went above and beyond for my family and I. Highly recommended.

When Miguel arrived at Hotel Santiago today they told him what expedia is been doing. He was unable to check in in the reservation that i did online. I will request my money back and report it to a authorities. Miguel was able to pay out of pocket to stay one night in praia.
Spent three nights here. A little distance from Plato but short walking distance to the local beach with restaurants. Rented a car for a day and the fental company is just around the corner - very convenient.
Internet was extremely slow in the room

The customer service was outstanding there is nothing I ask for that was not taken care of. Joslynn was the perfect host as well as others like Elton I would stay here again.
The property’s needs some tender loving care to spruce up the place and this hotel would be a number 1
Hotel was ok, for Cape Verde standards is a good option, service was not great, restaurant menu was not offered completely offering 3-4 options at most ..
Staff doesn’t speak English at all.
Hôtel médiocre.
La piscine et le bar promis sur le toi ne fonctionne pas.
L'air conditionné dans la chambre crache de l'eau.
Le mini bar avec bière et jus d'orange promis n'est pas approvisionné malgré les remarques
Le frigos dabs la chambre fait un bruit de bouilloire électrique.
La télé ne fonctionne pas.
Les poubelles des gens avant son toujour la.
Le petit déjeuner pain sec. Pas de confiture n'y choco.
Personnel peu agréable.
Le pire hôtel de tous mes voyages

It was accessible to the airport and the town center. Its safe and convenient and eco friendly. The shower was great. But the top electric plug on the left side of the bed didnt work and the tv was chaneless... but overall if u need a quick stay, i recommend.
