Casa Cisalta N5 - Quarto Casal is located in Praia, 1.8 miles from Praia de Prainha and a 15-minute walk from Praia Presidential Palace.

Just communication was a bit ash but it could be my self as I have mental health,so I'm a real sensitive person so communication is one of the things if I am not well understood I can become frustrated easily . But as a part of it I do recommend

Located in Praia, 1.5 miles from Praia de Gamboa, Helton´s Residence provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Elton was the best host I’ve ever had. He helped coordinate transport and with getting access to things I needed. Place was clean and secure. WiFi good. Location is a bit further from beach but just a $1.50 -$3 USD taxi anywhere around the city.

Located in Praia, a 11-minute walk from Praia de Quebra Canela, Txada Hostel provides air-conditioned accommodations and a shared lounge.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. Lena, Jil, Bacary, and the rest of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to help with absolutely everything I needed. They are very special people, and they are running a very clean, comfortable, reliable place. I would absolutely stay here again. The wifi worked well, I appreciated the hot shower, the bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed the location. About a half-hour walk from Plateau, Sucupira, or Palmarejo, with plenty of ATMs, minimarts, and restaurants just a few minutes' walk away.

Well situated in the Achada de Santo Antonio district of Praia, Meeting Point Hostel- Praia, also in Tarrafal & Fogo-Card Payment Only is located a 8-minute walk from Praia de Quebra Canela, 0.6 miles...

The hostel is clean, welcoming and cheap. We went out for dinner with fellow travelers and Kadia the owner who is very nice. The area is totally safe. I highly recommend going there for a short stay in Praia.

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.

    It was good located, everything was close by, by foot or car. Didn’t feel too unsafe even tho there were always people at the building door because there is a garage right in front. Nicely decorated with mostly anything you would need. Nice view from the top of the building. Very comfortable rooms. AC works pretty well and no problem with water heating. Didn’t use the kitchen but the fridge was of good quality. I would recommend it 100% after some maintenance work.

    Very comfortable apartment in a calm and safe area of Praia city. Tony was truly amazing host - he was always available on Whats app, we felt in his company like he was our best friend. I warmly recommend his apartment to anyone who wants to spend night in Praia.

    Perfect location to visit Praia and the island, and you can't have better price/value ratio. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and there is AC and very good wifi. I actually found the rooms surprisingly quiet for such a central location. The ladies managing the place are super nice and flexible. As a female solo traveller, I also felt very safe. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse.

    Nice room with basic equipment, comfy bed and cooling fan. Big terrace, kitchen and social room with some gym equipment to tone your muscles. Bathroom is okayish. Your friendly host Carlos will arrange with ease anything you need. Very recommended hostel for good price and great location.

    the hostel is in a great location, with plenty of good food options including one round the corner that plays live music most nights. it is very clean and comfortable, breakfast is nice. most of all the staff are incredible, Joel the hotel manager is a great guy - his English is very good, and when we had an family emergency he was extremely helpful. John who is often here as well is also a great person.
