Lovely atmosphere, clean and spacious rooms, helpful staff, very convenient location, safe neighborhood, walkable distance to Praia plateau, and truly delicious food available at the on-site restaurant.

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff great breakfast food, walking distance to beach, staff isn’t on site 24 hours but this is my personal opinion. Everyone was still very accommodating and was just a phone call away, it was very nice!

Extremely wonderful stay twice in a week (we went back because it was so nice and so close to beach). Host was helpful with advice and taxis. Breakfast was homemade and amazing and different each day.

Nice place

It was amazing, my room was pretty big, shared bath room, but it was very clean. Great location, close to the beach. For the plateau you have to walk around 20 - 30mins. The street is very loud, but during the night there's not a lot of traffic. It was a very pleasant stay.

Dommage

À notre arrivée nous n'avons eu aucune explication ce qui nous a valu d'être enfermé dehors à notre retour de balade. Le petit-déjeuner "complet gratuit" ne comprends en faite que un café ou un jus et vous avez un crédit de 700 donc des pancakes ou muesli ou omelette ou.... Chambre et salle de bains propre et spacieuse. Produit du petit déjeuner très bon
Delphine, 1-night trip

Thank you

Everyone was helpful from picking us up at the airport late in the night to letting us stay one more night without notice. Breakfast is good and there is a restaurant in the guesthouse that seems quite nice.

Nette en schone kamer, lieve en goed Engels sprekende gastvrouw die je goed kan helpen met je weg vinden op het eiland, locatie op loopafstand van veel restaurants en het strand, de beste koffie die ik ooit heb geproefd (en dat zegt wat) en elke dag een heerlijk vers ontbijt.

We really enjoyed our stay at Syd's Guesthouse. Syd was very helpful with general advice and answering our questions. The food at Syd's is delicious and probably some of the best we had during our stay in Cape Verde. Angela and her colleague were both incredible, very friendly and cooked us amazing breakfasts every morning. We would really recommend a stay at Syd's Guesthouse!

Muy buen lugar en Praia

Lugar con mucho encanto. Es como un osasis en Praia, agradable, bien situado y limpio. Algo básico en equipamiento, pero resulta comprensible.
Juan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to the beach with a nice patio. Syd was very nice and helpful. I found it a little difficult to check in because there is a locked gate out front that you can’t get through unless someone is there to let you in.

Meilleur petit-dejeuner du monde

La maison est bien placée, à deux pas des plages et des quartiers sympas du centre-ville. On peut profiter des extérieurs en tout tranquillité. Louisa prépare des petits dejeuners differents tous les jours mais à chaque fois vraiment delicieux. C'est dommage que la guesthouse ne fasse plus restaurant et que les clims dans les chambres ne fonctionnent pas.
