Only a one night stay. Lovely ambience with bar area and reception well designed. Not too sure if it's suitable as a holiday destination, but good for a short visit.

This was my second time staying at the hotel. We were to stay 3 nights, however our flight from S. Filipe was cancelled therefore we missed or first night, we requested a refund of the first night since flight cancellation was no fault of ours, however it wasn’t honored, was disappointed with that, however, the stay was nice, staff were friendly and eager to help out. Breakfast buffet was exceptional. Lunch was superb.

The people who work at reception rooms and breakfast are very good but this hotel in terms of menu need to change a lot of things. I don’t understand why if you order a plate of steak or fish it’s doesn’t come with any side. In terms of food and the management,this hotel is in a bad way

Decent stay, convenient when working in Praia.
Decent three star hotel, standard sort of small island place. Staff are friendly. The beds aren't great though... the matresses are very basic, can feel the spring coils through the thin padding, and the pillows aren't very good either. The towels are nice and fluffly though.

We only stayed one night because we were traveling next day to the USA, the hotel and staffs were exceptional. Smooth transition from
Check in to check out, staffs were friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with a fresh fruit platter. Wish we all had enough time to enjoy their continental breakfast, which l was able to take a quick bite before we hurriedly headed to the airport. During out next trip to Caoeverde, We will definitely consider staying again at Hotel Pestana!
