Guest reviews for Basic Hotel
"It was just wat we needed. Nothing fancy but clean end basic like the name suggested"
"Aucun."
"Excellent place to stay if you're on a budget. The Basic Hotel is indeed, as the name literally says, basic, but it's a really great basic, with super friendly staff, a clean room, an ensuite bathroom, wifi, and a great breakfast. It went far beyond my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone."
"Aucun."
"The Basic hotel is everything but basic. We had the whole apartment for us with a living room, sleeping room, and a kitchen with a small patio in front of the apartment. The staff was nice and accommodating, and we even left most of our luggage in the hotel and went to Santo Antão for a few days. The breakfast was good, but it could start a little bit earlier in case you have an early flight or a ferry to catch."
"The location is not far away from the city center, but it's not the greatest if you are returning late at night because there are some military buildings nearby, not many people around, and a lot of stray dogs, so it may feel a bit unsafe, though we didn't have any issues."
"Perfect place to stay.Nice staff.Delicius breakfast."

"A lovely roomy apartment. A very nice breakfast. Very helpful host."

"Really friendly and helpful staff, my room and shower room were lovely and clean, in a quiet and safe feeling area, 10 mins walk from the centre of town, hot water, tasty varied breakfast included (photos of my breakfast on the three mornings I was there). Really good value for money."
"I found the bed really uncomfortable. But that might just be my preference. Not very much soundproofing so I could hear other people coming and going. But I haven’t stayed anywhere in Cape Verde where that isn’t the case! Hot water was only enough for a shortish shower, so if there were more than one person in a room, one would have to wait for the water to heat up again I think. No one ever replied to the messages I sent to them on WhatsApp. Despite the negatives, I extended my stay from one to three nights when I was there as everything else was so nice."
"Kind staff, room with basic interior but functional"
"The key for the building door was crazy."
"had an apartment, a bit old but okay for the price... reasonably clean."
"no sofa, just a single bed in the living room to sit on. shower is tiny."
"Sonia and her staff have been really friendly and helpful with everything! Location is really quiet and you can walk around without worries. 10 min to the beach and 15 min to the center on foot I had the little apartment and it got cleaned every day, they change towels and sheets on a regular base. Breakfast is prepared freshly It's true there's just a fan and no AC,but when. you open all windows and balcony doors before sleeping,it's OK with the temperature would definitely come back, muito obg!!"
"the shower was tiny! Even a slim person gets almost stucked in there. Everything else was super"
"A lovely quiet place with comfortable bed and pushy soft towels. The breakfest was basic but I didn't need more."
"Aucun."
