Hotels in São Tomé and Príncipe

The stay was perfect at Hotel Kenito . It was my first time in São Tomé and this was a perfect place to stay . I enjoyed every moment. The staff is amazing , working with dedication, making sure the place is clean every single minute with smile . They were very helpful every time needed . It was also nice to have the possibility to enjoy the pool after every day tour . We were lucky to meet the owner during the stay . He was very helpful and was very friendly to us offering to assist any time needed . Special greetings to all the team at Kenito . Can’t want to be back

The employees always smiling and very polite with good recommendations. We felt really welcomed! The swimming pool is beautiful and the breakfast was also very good. Overall we had an amazing experience, also received an upgrade as we were on our honey moon.

I absolutely loved this place. The location is incredible. The staff are lovely (some don’t speak English, but they were all very helpful). The villa was very comfortable. The gardens and grounds are immaculate. The activities and the local guides were excellent. The way the company operates seems to be genuinely positive for the local people.

Probably the most accommodating host I’ve ever met! Alex responds to messages almost instantly and is incredibly helpful—whether it’s arranging airport pickup or recommending a local tour guide, money exchange - she’s got us covered. Our flight was delayed by two days, and she kindly adjusted our check-in dates without any extra charges. The place itself is so cozy—it honestly feels like staying at a grandma’s house (in the best way!). The bed is super comfy with a proper blanket and adorable bedding. Everything was spotless. Rooms are pretty spacious. There’s also an amazing restaurant just a 10-minute walk away called O Pirata—it looks simple, but the food was absolutely incredible. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of fun, there’s an old-fashioned casino just a few minutes away.

Comfortable beds, spacious rooms conveniently furnished and decorated. The owners paid attention to the small details making the stay pleasant, both in the restaurant and in the hotel parts. Outstanding view in the terrace, facing hills and mountains.

Very conveniently located close to the airport with free shuttle. Nice clean rooms with air conditioning. Breakfast included.

Always clean, friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable and close to a lot of places.

Our favourite hotel in São Tomé and Príncipe! Very comfortable, clean room with AC, great setting in the middle of beautiful Santo Antonio, lovely staff and delicious breakfast in the cafe downstairs. We would stay here again if we ever come back to Príncipe!

This location is truly amazing, peaceful and beautifully set. Compared to Bom Bom, this place feels more private, exclusive, beautiful landscaping and the rooms are more luxurious. Our room was excellent setup, maintained and easily deserves a 10. There where a couple of very private beaches nearby on a 5 minute walk, worth a visit.

Good place to start and finish our trip in San Tome. Nice swimming pool and great food

The breakfast was nice, although they could have been more options. The location was perfect, just right in the city center and close to everywhere. I was happy I decided to stay here at the very last minute.

My stay in Hotel Kriola surpassed all my expectations. Kriola is a small, familiar hotel facing Ana Chavez bay. If you are looking for a comfortable, well located place, look no further. The room was spacious and the bed extremely comfy. The room had AC, a small fridge and an amazing bathroom. Breakfast is diverse and buffet style. The hotel is extremely clean and located next to the biggest supermarket in all São Tomé island. You'll be located within 10mins walk to all the major interest points (the Museum, Papa Figos restaurant, city centre, Diogo Vaz chocolate showroom, etc...). The swimming pool was amazing to relax in the afternoon. The staff is amazing and will go above and beyond to assist you. Dinner here was one of the best meals of my holiday (I was in Sao Tomé for 9 days so it says a lot). When we arrived at São Tome, we stayed 2 nights in Pestana and I wished I had stayed in Kriola instead because it was, by far, the best hotel in the whole island. I travelled with a 6 year old.
