Boutique Hotel Praia Maria
10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Very centrally located near everything, including the municipal market and many supermarkets. You can basically walk to most important locations. Spacious rooms that are kept very clean. Air conditionning is a must and it works very well. "
"Overall, everything was great and the people were amazing. The only downside was that the tall PR lady, she did not come across as very friendly or approachable, and I also found a cockroach in my room. "
