Hotels near Praia Nelson Mandela airport

Pros: Super friendly staff, excellent food, situated in the mountains, great view from terrace.

Cons: Nothing to complain about.

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: Nice breakfast with a nice staff there. Very clean place. The wifi for work is good.

Cons: They pretend the tourism tax is not included in the total, they make a long speech and they make you wait for the refund (thru a booking.com claim). The room with balcony had no balcony nor view. You wake up thousands of time during the night as it is soundproof zero!. When you ask for airport transfer (twice), they simply dont answer.

Pros: big room, with nice shower and nice breakfast.

Cons: we got an different room then booked. the location is far away from the city center. for us it was no problem since we arrived in the night and left in the morning.

Pros: Nice location close to the beach, shopping centre and loads of restaurants. Great breakfast and nice staff!

Pros: people were nice and the room was clean

Cons: no sea view as the hotel is not in front of the sea

Cons: unfortunately the view out the window in our room had been blocked by new buildings

Pros: pool, location and balconies. super helpful staff and yummy breakfast

Pros: The salt water pool

Cons: Attendance sometimes the bar is empty the bartender should constantly gently check on customers in case the need more drinks or other services

Pros: Nice place, good location and great food, friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: Everything's was nice. No complaints The breakfast was very good and authentic!

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: Clean, comfortable, spacious and very pleasant

Pros: The breakfast was amazing at first but then repeating the same thing everyday was kind of frustrating. The location is great. The staff at the hotel are amazing and the fact that some of them speak English is a plus. Rosy at the receptionist, Manuel at the restaurant and Isaias who didn’t just attend to our needs but also recommended amazing places that we visited, he’s really hardworking, friendly and determined with an amazing customer care skills thumbs up to him.

Cons: Apart from the same breakfast menu everything else was perfect. I recommend you make a different menu for each day especially for those staying long. Ohh the pool water was salty which makes it feel like you at the beach.

Pros: There’s a nice pool. Rooms are spacious. There is a workstation and lots of outlets as well.

Cons: The hotel is dated/kind of old. My room had visible cracks in the wall and could’ve used a paint job. Hotel is expensive by Cape Verdean standards but did not deliver. Reception was pleasant , but there was no one to attempt to help me with bags, or at the very least, direct or show me to my room - I got lost. Not sure if hotel is understaffed due to pandemic or that’s the norm. Either way, I wouldn’t choose this venue again.

Pros: Excellent 😍- the big swimmingpool - the spacious room - the staff!! The hotel is very very clean there is a big swimmingpool which we enjoyed so much - towels available at the reception - the room is very big with comfortable beds in front of the pool and restaurant - the staff is so helpfull and friendly - even we were travelling around the island we could leave our luggage free in the hotel for days when we were even not there -The breakfast is good but everyday the same - we booked at first this hotel for 4 days but decided to add mire nights - price quality is excellent👌

Cons: The only thing that boddered us is that people from outside the hotel can also use the swimmingpool - they took all the beds available - we were ending up with no seats as guests - they should make a difference between guests and people from outside - maybe use limited hours but not whole day

Very good hotel with amazing large rooms. The pool area is big and pleasant. The breakfast buffet is delicious and as everywhere in Cape Verde, the staff is very helpful a d friendly. You are near a small beach and the lighthouse, and a short taxi ride from the Plateau. Very recommended

I liked the hotel very much. It is built in a horse-shoe shape around a big and nice pool area opening up to a view of the Atlantic Ocean. The quality of materials and cleanliness were great. Ambiance also very good as this was obviously the preferred hotel for the business community and visiting dignitaries from mainland Africa. Breakfast was pretty good. We tried the restaurant and it was fantastic. Best Food we had in all of Cape Verde, which was a big surprise as hotel restaurants rarely are worth the time and money. Staff was very warm and friendly, they are always ready with all of your needs and requests. Overall experience was very nice. Highly recommended if you need a Place to stay in Praia.

The hotel is located in the residential and embassies neighborhood Prainha. With a spacious patio and garden and a seawater pool with view of the Atlantic, Pestana Tropico radiates a quiet atmosphere. Staffs are friendly and attentive. Our spacious room was adequately furnished and decorated and had a balcony with view of the pool. In the room a desk with flat-screen TV and fridge, table and chair, wardrobe and safe, and good double bed. A separate bathroom with washbasin, toilet and rainfall shower. All was very clean. In the room complimentary WiFi, but no coffee and tea making facility. The Pestana Tropico restaurant serves acceptable dishes but don't expect high cuisine. The buffet breakfast is okay with ample variety. Upon request the hotel will arrange a complimentary airport transfer. Free parking in front of the door. The fitness room is tiny but guests can use a nearby large gym with extensive equipment for free. We had a good stay. To anyone who seeks a night's sleep in a quiet environment we recommend the Pestana Tropico.

Pros: Excellent location up on the Plateau close to walking street and other points of interest.

Cons: Was no hot water in the room, but other that, nothing else to fault based on price point .

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

Pros: I liked the room and about the privacy.

Cons: the street it was a bit dark, so at night it’s better be with companies

Pros: No complaints 👍😃 Breakfast was good Room was always clean The staff was very nice and always willing to help me with any questions.

Pros: Manager & staff very friendly and helpful. Perfectly clean. 10 minutes walk from quebra canela Beach

Pros: The guy working the front desk was fantastic he resolved all problems I had. He even put an extra WiFi device on the wall for me so I could have internet. Apartment was huge

Cons: There isn’t too much around the area as far as food / markets but can’t win it all.

Pros: The pool area is a 10 for me it's not to deep 5ft great food/options/drinks very good breakfast was yummy and you can order would your eggs to our preference. Originally we were placed in a room that the Air conditioner did not work. But the Staff was amazing and moved us the next day. Room PROS-great storage space, SQFT, lighting, my room had a great view so I can't complain.

Cons: The hotel needs a renovation for the price I paid it did not meet my expectations, Needs new Coat of fresh paint, your can see patches work on the walls, hinges on the windows need attention some WD40,TV not working properly, you can see the bath/Shower stalls need to be relined and adding a shower door my be pushing it but privacy is always welcomed I could not open the door for friends, staff if my friend was in the shower.

Pros: The location in the city.

Cons: First and foremost the beach next to the hotel is attached to a sewer plant. Which backs up feces in the water. I had to switch room 4 different times due to the lack of water or ac. First room the ac was not working. But we had water. We switched rooms, the ac was working but there was no water coming out the shower, and Yellow water coming out the sink. They gave us a second room to shower in while they repaired the problem. When I went to shower in the second room, that room had a leaky sink, sink wasn’t working and the shower only had cold water. They gave me another room, that had water but no ac. I disinfected each room and unpacked each time. At this point 3rd day in, I am upset and ask to speak to a manager and demanded I get a room that has running water and working ac. Manager apologize and stated that they were aware of faulty ac unit for a specific floor, so he offered me a suite. Room was bigger but I lost my sea view. But I was okay as long as my room was in top shape. Ac was working here but when we were in the room we noticed the toilet leaked every time you flushed, Tub leaked every time you showered and sink leaked as well. At this Point we were about 2 days from checking out and refused to switch rooms again, as I noticed the entire bldg was basically breaking down. I traveled in a group and others also had the same issue. The towels and sheets are ancient! They are old, worn out and stained. I am thankful I travel with my personal sheets and towels. There are also no pool towels, so plan accordingly. I do not recommend this hotel. There is nothing VIP about it. I think this is more like. 2 star hotel. I recommend whoever owns this hotel to do an inspection. I also expressed my concerns to the manager about sanitation. I do not understand how a room that was “cleaned” and provided to a guest did not have running water. This leads me to believe the rooms are not being properly cleaned and sanitized.

Pros: Good location, good staff

Cons: Air conditioner difficulties

Pros: The place was nice kids enjoyed the pool

Cons: Only thing that I didn’t like was the bathroom, I had room came with bathroom no doors 😬 I had kids with me, also they need more iron I couldn’t find one at all 😟

Pros: I love the property closed to a lot of great restaurants and very closed to the beach. Huge window that opens with the shades overlooking the ocean good bed to sleep. Lots of glass around the property also is a plus doesn’t make you feel trap in the hotel. Terraces pool and bar with magnificent view of the ocean and all around the city. Closed to alot of great places to eat and listen to live music. Definitely my new favorite place to stay in Praia I will return soon. Love the place.

Cons: A little bit smell of the ocean dump that happened long time ago in the lobby area but I understood that the cleanup is in full force to restore the beach around the property. No smell in the rooms and around the property.

Bad custo-me service

Pros: It was quiet and peaceful.

Cons: Customer service could be better. Staff looked limited in number and overwhelmed.

Pros: The view over the sea is amazing! We booked 2 single beds that were just really huge. Breakfast was also very good, big variety of food.

Pros: I want to specially mention the flexibility on the day of departure: the flight was late at night, and when I asked for late checkout, expecting some hours, they actually granted to stay in the room as long as I wanted. Even putting tabs to the room worked flawlessly. Instead of sitting around somewhere with bags packed, this basically added another holi-day; especially the option to shower and change just before leaving was great comfort. This is much more generous than can be expected and speaks to customer orientation greatly.

Pros: Good breakfast. A lot of fruits and juices.

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.
