Great experience
Really good stay. We had a very big room, clean, comfortable and with air conditioner. Reception really kind, friendly and helpful. We needed a taxi, tips and recommendation and we felt in really good hands. Very central position in Praia, a nice walk away from the beach and the restaurant

Tranquil Hotel Santa Maria
Tiny little hotel on a lively street with the most charming, accomodating staff. Perfect value for the money + a nice little restaurant downstairs with adorable cats who sleep on the roof across the way. Picturesque + a lovely landing for an entree into Praia + all it has to offer.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, very good food in their restaurant with at times really slow and bad service. Hot water in the bathroom can be dangerously hot. Great location. We have stayed here before, many times, and will stay here again.

Right downtown on pedestrian mall. Staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast people were run ragged trying to keep the food replenished and clean the area. Commendable.

If you’re going to pick a hotel in this city, do not pick this hotel. The food is terrible. The only thing good was the beer and that was in a bottle. The room is very uncomfortable is a joke. You can barely turn around. The pictures are absolutely lies. It does not look like anything like that when you get there the TV only has channels in Portuguese

I liked the people in the reception and the other staff for their servicemindedness. They tried to find tours and some were pretty good with english or french. Next time I will use it again and highly recoommend it to my friends. You feel good at this former family owned hostel now upgraded to hotel and I understand why other peple liked it. Lars Denmark

Terrible,my son very disappointed 👎
The hotel was terrible, from the moment we arrived we were given the room we didn’t book jus 1 tiny double room instead of superior suite with queen bed and single bed. The pillows and towels old and pillows stitched with a black thread unprofessionally probably hand stitching. Breakfast was terrible the bread was dry & stale, serving plates were tiny side plates. Fruits were not fresh the papaya looked very mashed, they do not serve fresh breakfast, I regret booking this hotel & will never again The bed was not comfortable and was not the same size as the mattress, is this place a cheap hostel? Because clearly it doesn’t deserve even 3stars. The mini fridge was full when we arrived and nobody told us that if we use the drinks we need to pay for them.. at least give guest a brochure on their arrival so that they know they don’t touch drinks in the mini bar, instead we will have a choice of going for drinks outside.. I was charged for drinks we used after I thought they came with the package of the booking. I should have stayed at the other hotel instead of coming to this hotel, loud noise at night, and the corridors too stuffy & hot, 👎👎

Gutes Hotel, sauber, nettes Personal an Toplage!
Das Hotel ist in bester Lage, besser gwht es gar nicht, alle Restaurant, Cafés sind direkt um das Hotel. Überall live Musik. Taxi halten auch direkt daneben, Banken überall. 5 Min.Autifahrt vom Flughafen. Zimmer sauber, liebes Personal. Too, wur kommen zum Ende unserer Reise nochmals für 4 Tage ins Santa Maria. Einzig der Mift ist zu langsam, sehr mühsam. Frühstück wärw schln wenn mehr Abwechslung wäre.
