Hotels near Nelson Mandela airport

Pros: The breakfast was great, the rooms are nice and location of the place is brilliant.

Cons: Maybe there could be more options for dinner.

Pros: Gorgeous location clean room, great shower, friendly people.

Pros: Great View and Starting Point for Hikes Great Buffet

Cons: Recommended local Guides probably not to recommend, better go for certified ones with language capabilities, and do not take off-road drive with rental car as recommended Value for money is great, still some things appeared on the final bill that were not communicated before, or seemed to be for free (lunch bag, home made spirit drinks etc.)

Pros: Wow! I loved the view, really it can’t be in a better location, really clean and comfortable! Great staff, good food and amazing welcome from the owner!

Cons: It’s a pity there is not a glass door to appreciate even more the view from I side de room when it’s cold outside.

Pros: The views are stunning. The access to hikes is really good. The buffet breakfast and dinner were good.

Cons: The WiFi didn't work in our room. There were a lot of cocks crowing early in the morning!

Pros: Great views Lindorfo was a great host. He was kind and did everything to make our stay hospitable, relaxing and enjoyable. We had wine and cheese tasting at our arrival, a lovely dinner with live music and he kindly offered to drive us to the start of the Pico de Antonha hike. He helped us arrange transport for the next part of our journey. We had such a lovely time :)

Pros: The main selling point of this hotel is its location, high in the mountains. All of the rooms take advantage of the incredible views, and we had a balcony.

Cons: I had advised that I was a vegetarian at booking but the evening meal (a buffet) did not have any vegetarian options. An omelette was rustled up, but it would have been nice if something had been available (especially as the signs from lunch were still up, when a vegetarian meal was available). The wifi was very patchy in our room.

Pros: The owner and manager is very friendly and also the personal is always happy and helpful. The view from the balkony is fantastic and the village is very originally. very good place for a hike to pico dantonio and relax in the nature. a big thanks to lindolpho and his team for hosting us!

Pros: The proprietor and staff were exceptionally considerate, kind and helpful during several days of gastric illness! They were not intrusive, simply made it clear they were there in case of need, calling in a doctor or bringing meds from pharmacy.... even the proverbial chicken soup!

Cons: Room furnishings could be updated, refreshed.

Cons: Water is unstable. Hot water changes the temperature all the time, from hot to cold. At night suddenly water stopped while in shower.

Pros: "Praia (Plateau) Confort Hotel" was an excellent option. To be recommended without any restrictions. Friendly and competent staff. Nice comfortable rooms. Ideal location in the middle of the old town, the historic centre of Praia (Platô). Some nice restaurants just around the corner available.

Cons: Everything was more than ok ! Everything was excellent ! Definitely nothing to complain.

Pros: Check in experience was great. Admilson speaks English and he is just amazing in customer service . The team are friendly and very very helpful

Cons: Frankly not much

Pros: Friendly staff, perfect location, clean and large rooms. Breakfast was generous as well.

Cons: A few little issues such as the shower head wouldn't stay up, and kept sliding down. Some of the staff only speak Portuguese, they're super friendly, just make sure you ask the ones that speak English everything you need to know!

Pros: Kind staff, clean and comfortable room, very good position

Pros: central loction, walking distance to everything one needs in Praia.

Cons: I used to be Client of the Praiaconfort since it was opened, some 7 years ago. I was a permanent guest while running a 2 year Project. It was a nice and cosy hotel, where everything was functioning, but unfortunately there was not sufficient maintenance done. No WiFi in the room, TV had a snowy picture, reading lamp at the bed was completely gone, the shower fixing in the wall was loose, the aircon did not work etc etc what a petty!

Pros: I had to book a hotel at the last minute when my flight was cancelled. This was a good location on Plateau. Large and very comfortable and quiet room.

Cons: Checkout took ages. Seemed to be a computer problem and the guy had no idea how to get round it.

Pros: An off the beaten path place to visit. Central location, convenient to restaurants and shopping.

Pros: In walking distance to a beach, close to the ocean, roof top bar and pool, food choices at the restaurant, mall next door

Cons: Bed was not comfortable

Pros: Nice view from the room.

Cons: The bath room like in the old boat. I don’t understand it in the connection with VIP city hotel.

Pros: Breakfast was just amazing. The seventh floor pool/bar area was really nice to hang out at and enjoy a drink and fabulous westher

Cons: Where the H*** do I start. Che k in is at 12, but they made us wait until 1:17 for our room. There was no one it seemed there so it was weird we had to wait for a room. The front desk staff was not hospitable and the dude that followed us around while we waited wore shades inside and it was weird. The room was clean. The beds were horrible. Woke up with a horrid backache and sore ribs due to the springs being so pronounced in the mattress. Bathroom had no door and shower had no door so water went everywhere. Tv channels are severely limited. Last but most odd was the fact that the hotel was built 50 yard away from the cities OPEN sewer drains. OMG what a smell!

Pros: The buffet is very good and the staff is superb

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was very friendly and location was great!!

Cons: My room window was broken so it was hard to fall asleep with the noise from the cars passing by and from the club near by.

Pros: Nice rooftop bar with a small pool.

Pros: Staff in the reception was amazing. The girls was really really amazing.

Cons: The man in the bar was TERRIBLE! He pointed at my fork and told me how to eat. In addition he was extremely rude. We left the table and went to chef Teresa next door and spend 20 000 escudos on food there instead - the service was amazing at chef teresa. WOULD NOT recommend the hotel bar. No WIFI at the room (not working).

Pros: Me and my spouse had the most exceptional stay at this hotel and we were completely blown away and appreciative of how our special occasion was considered by the staff; we shall always remember our trip to Cape Verde for this. The staff was extremely kind, considerate and helpful. We had stayed in a five-star hotel on the same trip to Cape Verde and the service at Pestana Tropico was far better by a long haul. The rooms are very beautiful and comfortable and the pool side was very pleasant. We also celebrated the New Year at the hotel. We were originally thinking about spending our last two nights in Cape Verde at a different hotel, but decided to stay here instead. We can happily highly recommend this hotel :)

Cons: The only critique we would have is that we had some problems with the WiFi.

Pros: The helpful male receptionist

Cons: There was no stewarding over Covid restrictions both staff and guest failed to wear a mask and didn't use sanitiser either. Servers brought drinks and food to table with masks. The rooms were very dark in design very depressing. Only one positive and that was the young tall man behind reception who followed all protocol and extremely helpful and pleasant.

Pros: Airport transfer excellent

Pros: The bed was large and comfy. Breakfast had a good selection and the pool area was nice. View over the pool and balcony was also nice. Staff was very helpful for anything needed.

Cons: Wifi signal was weak in the rooms which made any use or to work a little difficult. Lack of sound proofing from balconies into rooms if anyone was talking on them.

Pros: Staff, location, excellent food and old world charm.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Pool and dinner was excellent

Cons: No hot water due to a fault, but we were only there a few hours between flights so it didn’t get recitified while we were there. Waiter was not exceptionally polite.

Pros: my room

Cons: nothing

Pros: Nice hotel, check-in and check out really easy

Pros: The room is nice and the bed is comfortable

Cons: A bit far from the center

Pros: Nice and comfortable room, big bed and really comfortable. We had a very good time. Spectacular sea view. Large pool and good bar/restaurant service, restaurants with good menus and spectacular sushi (but not every day). Superb sea views. Overall they were very flexible and helpful as staff. In particular some of them were outstanding. Also the manager (I think it was her) was very nice and very concerned that everything went according to our wishes.

Cons: Breakfast: lacks a lot to be an international breakfast ... personally I missed a lot of salmon (personal taste). It's not bad but very improvable. The bread is absolutely inedible (I hope they change soon type and supplier... what a pity). For the price this hotel costs, they also charge extra for food delivery from the in-house restaurant. This is a shame. There were a few misunderstandings about the cleanliness of the room because the sign outside the door very often because of the wind flew away ... they should use heavier windproof signs. Also the initial programming of the keys did not go very well and they had to redo them several times.

Pros: View and location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location & quietness

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The pool was an amazing feature. The hotel is within walking distance of a few restaurants and the beach. The staff were very accommodating and the breakfast each morning was great.

Cons: The gym hardly had any equipment so was not usable. On one of the days the water pressure was very low in the shower. Internet on 4th floor was not reliable.

Pros: The room was fab, reasonable price for the comfort and professional staff and attention. The food was great at the restaurant, I had breakfast and dinner there, a tad pricey but worth it. The pool although small is great and the staff just made my stay perfect, especially Ruben at the front desk and the girls in the evening manning the bar and restaurant.

Cons: I did have to move rooms from beside the lift as it made a lot of noise, but within an hour they moved me to the 4th floor which was much better.

Pros: The hotel was quiet. The breakfast selection was quite good. It's a good location for the beach but not for the plateau or bus station.

Pros: excellent location, rooms are neat and cozy

Cons: Nothing to complain

Pros: Overall fair value for money!

Pros: The hotel is located in a historical and the nicest part of Praia on a pedestrian street. That is the biggest premium of the hotel. However, other aspects are average or even below.

Cons: First, you can with a card but only for an extra fee. Most of the staff cannot speak English or understand poorly. This complicates solving any issues.

Pros: It's a funtional hotel inside the main street in Praia, is a wallkig street so is quiet and without traffict. The hotel is convenient to expend few days in Praia and even if you just stop over for the night, around the hotel are the main landmarks. Nice terrace outside and friendly staff

Cons: The lift goes super slow 🐌🐌🐌
