Lyxhotell i São Tomé

“I arrived early in the evening and all the lights were off. Door was locked. No reception. My kind taxi driver called the hotel and after 5 minutes a young man appeared. He didn't speak any English at all. He was kind and took me to my room. He was about to leave me to myself, when I asked if I shouldn't officially check-in or sign something. He then took me to his boss who was in another room. He didn't speak English either but he spoke some French. He was also kind and helpful and helped me...

“When I checked in I was basically thrown a key and shown to my room. Don't know if they remembered me from the previous stay a few days earlier but either way they should have made an effort to describe amenities and so on.

“Great hospitality. Manager is incredibly friendly and staff was extremely professional. Very clean environment”

Euro kan tas ut enklast via western union, om online- tjänst funkar. Betalalsen helst innan resan, via nätet. Unitel simkort finns köpa i receptionen. Annars wi-fi om du är nära reception/ restaurang. Mat och myggskydd funkar bra. Kolla att"stör ej" skyllt finns. Annars blir ni utkörda från rummet tidigt, för städning. Även vid online check-in,...

“Prijs, ligging, comfort; erg goed. Eén ding zou echt opgelost moeten worden: de niet goed sluitende en heel erg krakende toiletdeur; de scharnieren moeten met een oliespuitje behandeld worden.”
