Find Hotels in Praia, Cape Verde

"I would stay at Hotel Santa Maria if I return to Praia. It was excellent value. The patio bar out front was lovely to sit for breakfast or an afternoon refreshment. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was small as expected but comfortable and very clean. They had a secure area to store luggage. "

"Exceptionally clean. Everything worked. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good food. The only place I would stay if I returned to Cabo Verde."

"This is a fine hotel if you wear a suit 24/7, but being tourists we were snubbed by staff a few times. The food and room were fine, but our check out experience was bizarre. Our card was declined by the machine, even though we used it earlier in the day, and the receptionist at first refused to let us use the phone to contact our bank. We insisted, and the bank told us our card hadn’t been attempted by the hotel, but after 5 tries our card would not go through and the bank had no record of attempts. Repeatedly rushing us during the call, we were told by the receptionist we couldn’t do a bank transfer because it would take too long to process, and that we had to miss our flight to AUSTRALIA and stay another night (as if?!) We asked for the closest ATM and we were told all ATMs on the island wouldn’t work for over 200 euros per day per card, and our bill was almost 400 euros, sarcastically read our charges out loud to security standing by! The lobby ATM worked fine, we paid cash. AVOID!"
