Hotel Kenito, hotel in São Tomé

Located in São Tomé, a 7-minute walk from Emília Beach, Hotel Kenito provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

Great place to stay. The rooms have AC and the pool is nice and refreshing. Kenito speaks English which is very helpful and he made our trip much much easier. He arranged a car rental for us. When we broke down on the side of the road and called him, he immediately sent someone with another car to switch with us. Highly recommend!

Hotel Central, hotel in São Tomé

Hotel Central is offering accommodations in São Tomé. This 3-star hotel offers luggage storage space. The property provides airport transportation, while a car rental service is also available.

Breakfast was fine - nothing special. Room was clean. Neighborhood was visually not pleasant. However, the whole city is that way. One would not come to visit the city. The people are very friendly and it is a safe city.

Emoyeni Gardens, hotel in São Tomé

Emoyeni Gardens provides beachfront accommodations in São Tomé. This property also features a restaurant and a year-round outdoor pool.

The staff were incredibly helpful and the location was wonderful. They weren’t really busy while I was there so they upgraded my room, which was very thoughtful and generous. Would definitely stay there again. Value for money was ok, would have been better value if breakfast had been included. Restaurants close by and easy walking distance so not a problem

Residencial Avenida Geovanni, hotel in São Tomé

Residencial Avenida Geovanni provides air-conditioned accommodations in São Tomé. The hotel has city views, a terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The breakfast was simple, but one of the better ones we had in Sao Tome. It is close to downtown so it's easy to get markets, fresh bread, and groceries nearby. This is a budget hotel and it is Africa so the wife and power go out sometimes, but the AC worked well; that was a huge plus.

Pestana Sao Tome, hotel in São Tomé

Located on São Tomé Island, Pestana Sao Tome is set on the seaside, 0.6 mi from the center of São Tomé. It offers private beach access, an outdoor swimming pool, a spa and a terrace with sunbeds.

The staff were sweet and the management is trying hard to bring positive influence such that the hotel staff could be come competent at service. Wifi works most time, though it was out for a few hours during my stay. I was upgraded which was appreciated, but was also only because thee were no other rooms with functioning AC, fans, in the category I booked.

    An unknown jewel!

    An unknown jewel! We visited idyllic places, saw the most amazing sunsets over tropical beaches & saw very few tourists. Most of the locals were very friendly and helpful. It is a photographic paradise.

    They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

    Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.

    Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations. Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree. The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights. The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables. In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central, You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese. No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

    It´s a Paradise!!!

    It´s a Paradise!!! You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes. You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name. Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

    Language barrier is too problematic.

    Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand. Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble. Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal! Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view! Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

    The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched. There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce. The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going. The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.

    The garden and landscaping is well taken care off. The location is good - not to far of the main road and is a good basis for discovering the various beaches along the east coast, or if you want to do scuba diving with the Santana resort, but are not staying there. The breakfast is superior. Best breakfast we had on Sao Tome. The dinner menu is very Portuguese, which we liked, but it could use some vegetarian options. The wine menu is great. They offer quite some options.

    We arrived at Casa Luis after a 6 days bad experience in a different location in Sao Tome. For this reason I’m advising you to always check other people’s reviews 😉. Casa Luis is very welcoming. Both mr Luis and his wife Catarina made our stay comfortable and pleasant. The location is in a very quiet and clean neighbourhood. They have a massive garden with a good size swimming pool. In fact, is almost a botanical garden, with lots of equatorial trees and herbs.

    The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is also located only a short 5 minute walk to various restaurants and places of interest in Sao Tome. The owner was very responsive and even helped arrange to puck me up at airport. This is truly a guest house with only two rooms and no reception/hotel desk; however, owner is available by phone and has made arrangements/partnered with connected businesses to help. Highly Recommend!

    The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.

    The breakfast was everyday the same, but with fresh products (homemade yoghurt, fresh and local fruit salad, good bread, you could order scrumbled eggs or omelete included on the 10 euros breakfast). The room was large and always very clean. The staff was professional and nice enough. The parking is free, which is quite usefull since we rented a car for the all week. It is a very central hotel, where you can rest with no noise.

    The staff were accommodating and helpful. They arranged a rental car and driver for us, making our visit stress-free and enjoyable. The hotel is only five minutes drive from the airport and within easy walking distance from the town, several good restaurants, and the beach. We also found the local people helpful and friendly throughout our trip. Sao Tome is truly a paradise. We could have easily spent more time there.

    This hotel is at a great location which is right across from the beach and walking distance from town. The owner and staff were very welcoming to us. On our last day it had rained heavily the previous night which caused floods so we were unable to go tour the southern part of São Tomé. The owner let us stay in our room for free until late evening to catch our flight!

    Geovanni is a very welcoming host that speaks English very well. The rooms are clean and tidy and offer everything you need. The breakfast the served is delivious and gets you ready for the day exploring São Tomé. The location is right in the city center and allows you to explore everything by foot. I have stayed there various times and always enjoy coming back.

    The hotel is well located for the ones interested in feeling the pulse of the city. It is close the restaurants, mobile comms. company and other touristic places to visit. The hotel looks nice and traditional. Staff is nice, but communication is a problem if you do not speak Portuguese language. The rooms are clean and there is wifi.
