“Great location, ancient bed”
The girl on reception was really nice. We could check in couple of hours before. The location is great, because we could walk from ferry terminal. They also arranged us a ride to the airport - 1500 CVE.

Good location, close to the harbour. Nice with a terrace. Felt safe with the gate when staying at the bottom floor. Nice to be able to buy some water / beer at the reception.

“All good”
Great location, close to ferry and city center. Currently (Aug '25) some construction around, but it wasn't noisy at all. Friendly bunch of cats on the ground level. Okay breakfast.

“Urgently needs renovations”
Location between ferry and town centre, which was the main reason for booking. The air conditioning was working well and quietly. Nice rooftop terrace with a good view. Breakfast was ok, though there was only powdered milk for both the cereal and the coffee.

“Very helpful and friendly staff, clean, great location and good breakfast”
The girl named Ticianne working in the reception was super friendly and willing to help with any questions I had. The guesthouse felt a bit like a homestay and the breakfast was very nice too. The room was huge, and everything was very clean. I could leave my luggage with them whilst going on a day tour the last day and leaving for the airport that evening. Everything was very well organized. Also, the location is great at walking distance to the ferry to go to or arrive from Santo Antao.

“Loved it”
The location is amazing, 5min from the ferry, you're really in the heart of the action. Staff is amazing, the best we've seen in CV! They helped us arrange a car, taxi, day use, etc plus they speak so many languages!

“Good base to discover Mindelo and the island.”
Good location, close to the ferry, walking distance to the beach and to the city center. Breakfast is fair, but not outstanding. Our room was spacious, with good bad. There is a balcony with a table and chairs. We missed a little more furniture in the room, let's say 2 chairs. Wifi worked well, with no problems. Reception is 24/7. Didn't get keys for the gate, had to ring every time and the receptionist let us in. Strange, but gives a little more feeling of security. Luggage can be left there before check-in and after check-out.
