    My room was near some water pump installation, so whenever someone used the bathroom, there was a weird sound, but I guess it can't be helped. Staff wasn't very forthcoming during my stay and had to be chased down for any request, but they were nice and helpful enough when I did find them.

    Spotless rooms, with aircon and very good internet, nice public areas and the option to use the kitchen. Airport pickup went without a hitch. I found the area around perfectly safe even at night, even as a solo female traveller. The nicer restaurants are about a 15-20 minute walk away, but there's a corner shop and several bakeries close by.

    I wouldn't recommend to take the breakfast there, it's rather small and expensive for Sao Tome.

    The rooms were amazing and very clean. It's in the centre and there is a big parking sport. The staff was very friendly and helfpul.

    Breakfast was expensive, at 10 euros per person. The food was good but portions very small.

    Helpful staff, comfortable and nicely decorated room, good shower, central location. Chocolate factory on site and best price on island for their own made bars.

    The breakfast variety could have been better. Appreciated the tea and fresh fruit but would have loved to get more than 1 egg and a bread bun to go along with it. Also please provide water in the rooms or at reception when people are checking in for the first time. And a minor thing, it would be great to just run a tab of expenses that can be settled at check out if you have to buy water repeatedly. Felt bad for the staff having to look for change with every purchase.

    Perfect location to explore Sao Tome. Loved how spacious the rooms were, the wonderful common space that's also maintained very well for use by all guests and the cleanliness. The staff also went above and beyond to help out regardless of the language barrier so thank you for that. It's close to the city center and you can zoom around on a bike or taxi fairly easily or walk to most places. Needed to work a couple of days at the hotel and the WiFi was strong and reliable.

    good shared lounge and kitchen space staff were helpful it was clean and felt safe it was generally quiet

    Some comms problems for only english speaking people (as everywhere else in this country)

    Super clean, friendly and helpful staff, central but quiet location, hot water in the shower, very good breakfast, water/softdrinks available for purchase across the street, reasonable price for airport transfer, and last but not least they have a generator for power cuts (much needed in this place). A good place to stay in São Tomé city when travelling alone. Returned for a few more nights at the end of my trip.

    No lift to first or second floor. No laundery in guest house, but none a 2 minute walk. A little far to walk to a good beach. Power and internet sometimes unstable. Guest house a little expensive for one person? Couples might find it cheaper.

    My second 3-night stay was just as good as my first stay and I was given the same upstairs room with ensuite bathroom. Entire building is made of wood. Fantastic helpful staff. Room cleaned daily. Good speed free WiFi. Bedding and towels included in room price. Shower in bathroom is good with hot water. Comfy double bed. My room was on first floor with terrace/balcony. There is a kitchen and lounge on second floor. Chocolate factory is next to the guesthouse. A 20 minute walk to Saio Tome city centre. Free parking available. Outdoor and indoor seating. Breakfast cost 8 Euros per person. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, juice, coffee, cooked eggs, bread, butter-jam. Highly recommend breakfast. Tours can be arranged. Can arrange to hire a car. Guest house has printing service. Staff speak English and are kind, helpful and friendly. Plug sockets near bed. Close rack in room. Toilet paper in bathroom. Soap provided. Bin in bathroom.

My double en-suite room was on the terrace/balcony up wooden steps. A lounge and kitchen is on the second floor. A good breakfast consists of cooked fried/scrambled eggs/omelette, bread, fresh fruit, butter-jam, fresh mango juice and coffee. Breakfast costs 8 Euros per person. Room had ensuite bathroom with shower with hot water, sink and toilet with free toilet paper provided. Small and large towels provided. Bedding provided with lots of pillows.

    Breakfast was very good, but a little overpriced...

    The staff was very friendly and the location was good, one can get near the city centre on foot easily (about 15 min). If you're travelling late, the Guest House can keep you're luggage for free, and for 5€ you can take a shower before the flight, rest for a while on the cosy balcony or use the common kitchen.
