Reasonable option
This is about the only option for reasonably priced and reasonably comfortable lodging in Sao Tome. The location is not ideal for walking and the rooms are bare boned. Be sure to organize breakfast plans in advance. It looks like a buffet, but it’s only for those who have reserved it. All in all it’s not a bad choice for those who don’t want to pay resort prices.

I didn't meet the owners but the staff were always friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay for business and would definitely consider staying here again. It would have been very helpful if the hotel information sheet in the rooms had informtaion about when the reception was open, details about the power availability during the day (none if the public power fails) and the reception itself had this and accurate information about the hotel wifi stuck on the window for when it's closed!

Perfect place to stay when exploring São Tomé. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is tucked away down a quiet lane right in the heart of São Tomé. Only negative is that the walls are quite thin between rooms. Highly recommended.
