Maybe it’s because I’ve never stayed in a hotel abroad, so it’s a bit unusual.
There are no disposable items in the guest room, such as toothbrush, comb, small toothpaste, slippers, only a small piece of soap and shower gel. There are floor towels, bath towels, hand towels, and hair dryers. The overall area of the room type is okay, but there is a lot of useless space. There are rocking chairs and two sofas, but no balcony. The floor-to-ceiling windows are large but there are buildings outside the windows and no view. The room is also equipped with a safe and minibar. I would like to remind my friends that the power socket is a European standard, so you should prepare an adapter in advance, or ask the hotel to provide it. It is recommended to bring your own, domestic brand, bull, convenient and easy to use. The product is pictured below. For example, if you are on vacation or staying for a long time, it is recommended to prepare a power ***** for your own convenience. The guy at the front desk is very nice. He can communicate with you simply in English and helped me solve a lot of problems. Everyone must be mentally prepared. The locals all speak Portuguese, and only some people in the service industry can speak English.

Well located and lively area. Friendly staff. The price is somewhat high for what they offer. Normal breakfast. The lighting in the room and bathroom is very poor. The mattress needs to be changed and the AC does not cool much. Almost the best is the area where it is to see the center of Praia.

We were given a very small room on the ground floor with a window overlooking a light shaft. The window couldn't be closed properly because there was a power cable running through it. The room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. After we complained, we were given a slightly larger room on the second floor, with a window that also only faced the light shaft. We had booked for two nights, but moved to another hotel after one night. The whole hotel needs a major renovation.

The Santa Maria hotel is first of all very well located, in the heart of the Plateau, the liveliest district of Praia. Then, the welcome is remarkable, the staff, often French-speaking and always English-speaking, take great care; the slightest request is satisfied quickly (according to Cape Verdean criteria). The room, like the entire establishment, is impeccably clean. The bedding is very comfortable. The copious breakfast, served inside or on the terrace on the street, is an excellent experience. This is frankly a very good address (clarification: I have no participation in the matter…)

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.

Stayed one night (booked by travel agency) and my experience wasn't good. The hotel is well located within walking distance of restaurants, shops and attractions. It can also be quite noisy as loud music is played outside. Small room, with modern decor. Upon arrival, I noticed that the sink was draining super slowly (see photo) and the wifi wasn't working (error message "Couldn't get IP address" with both my mobile phone and my laptop). Even though it was obvious that it was a network issue, one of the hotel employees insisted in messing around with my phone for 10-15 min - to no avail, of course. After several hours, the wifi started working, but with multiple hiccups. The same employee came to check the sink and declared that "it was fine". In the shower the water temperature was constantly fluctuating from scorching hot to cold in a matter of seconds, without touching the mixer. I reported this problem and it was "fixed" the next morning, when there was no hot water at all. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Well lit desk area. Breakfast with decent selection. The staff was generally unhelpful and unpleasant.

we were stranded because of bad weather, the airline put us in this hotel, we were told by the staff that we had a voucher of 1400$ ecv for lunch and 1400$ ecv for dinner, within that amount we could choose without any problem, the surplus it would be paid separately, the first day went well, the second day they changed the rules of the game and put on a buffet with just two dishes to choose from, obviously the cheapest, coffee and dessert had to be paid separately, without the right to a bottle of bottled water. Shower only hot water or only cold water, sink clogged.

location is perfect. we booked it for couple of days as a layover to the island of fogo. Some of their rooms are super small but i've seen smaller. Their breakfast is just ok. they can improve there. I WAS DISSPOINTED, HOWEVER, . I BOOKED AND PAID FOR A 1 NIGHT STAY UPON RETURNING FROM FOGO, AND WE ARRIVED TO CHECK IN, FRONT DESK HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL US THAT THEY MOVED our stay TO THEIR SISTER HOTEL to MAKE WAY FOR A GROUP OF EUROPEANS (HAVE TO EMPHASIZE IT BECAUSE CAPEVERDEANS HAVE AN INFERIOR COMPLEX TOWARDS EUROPEANS). oF COURSE I WASN'T GOING TO LET THAT SLIDE. WE STAYED WHERE WE PAID FOR.
