We had a mix up at the beginning with our room, and had to change to a different room half way through our stay, which was annoying. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay at Santa Cruz Boutique Hotel. Staff are helpful and pleasant, and the hotel is new and nicely decorated. Mindelo is a small city, and it's very easy to walk anywhere in the centre from the hotel.

Great hotel

Beautiful, clean and modern in the center of Mindelo. Very good breakfast with cachupa (capverdean dish). I like the porter that is there at night to welcome you to the hotel and guarantee your safety. Overall 10/10, would recommend and come again! Thank you to the staff, they were all very lovely!

Die Lage ist top, man ist mittendrin im Geschehen. Die Dachterrasse und der Balkon sind großartig. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gemütlich und die Betten bequem. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und es gab eine große Auswahl. Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werde bestimmt wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Einstieg in meinen Kapverden-Urlaub!
