“Great for your first or last stay in Sao Tome”
The rooms are really big and comfy. So if you are travelling with a big group, you can stay here, for the first or last days of your trip Clean beds, tidy rooms (always you will find a bug, but it' normal there), clean toilets and a nice pool. Also some rooms, are coming with a fridge and small kitchen. Airport picku, 20 eur

“Hotel from hell”
We arrive and checked in, only to immediately have a phone call from the owner telling us that we were more people than our booking, after a significant amount of time (long enough that it ruined our evening) he told us he was looking at the wrong security cameras (yes, he was creepily watching us through cameras) and that another booking at one of his other properties were in fact the group who were trying to take more guests into the accommodation than they had booked for. No apologies for the hours wasted, but we continued our trip. We then learned that the property did not have running water. The next morning, as we didn’t want to spend more of the evening dealing with this man, we informed the accommodation we had no water. The lady who came, was rude, abusive and downright creepy. Finally, water was restored after 4 hours. A morning now ruined.

The accommodation is a little out of the way, but is an absolute winner in terms of price-performance ratio. There is nothing missing. About a 25 minute walk to a well-stocked supermarket and the top restaurant Papa Figo. To the beach, turn left and go straight on. There is also a bank branch with an ATM on the way.

When we arrived noone was there at the hostel. No check-in or check out? this is more like an air bnb. It was very differcult to find. We waited 2 hours and had to find some local to call to even get in.
