Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Excellent choice. Clean, safe, very nice staff. Comfortable beds. They even have a chocolate factory inside the hotel which gave an amazing smell going up and down the stairs.

    The hotel is very new and clean. The staff is very friendly and Mr. Kenito himself helped us with everything we needed. We felt really comfortable and at home. The rooms are clean, have a nice shower and a minifridge. The hotel is close to the airport and a decent distance from the center, we felt safe to walk to the center at night. It's a lovely place to stay in Sao Tome, definitely recommend!

    Everything! Kenito is really helpful - knows everything about Sao Tome and speaks perfect English. This place is a great deal and probably too cheap. It is spotless clean, amazing bed and A/C. Lightning wifi. Great pool. Breakfast for 10euro is worth it.

    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.
