It’s a modest hotel easy access to the beaches and restaurants as well as Praia shopping. However no lifts, Wi-Fi connection is poor and bathroom ventilation is noisy.
The gym is next to the hotel but can be noisy in the morning.
The swimming pool is out of service at the moment due to refurbishment.

Decent stay. It’s a new hotel so there’s still some improvements that will happen, but the place was clean, and the breakfast was nice. I could recommend this place for a comfortable stay.
