nice to have the restaurant to work in the evening. close by a beach. nice area.

This is my favorite spot to stay in all of Cape Verde. Amazing staff. Peaceful place, close to beach. I love that at the same time it is nicely tucked away from everything.

No hot water for first night, no wifi signal in bedroom

No shops nearby, beach is walkable and restaurants there to.

yes

Cute, quirky and quaint. Fabulous included breakfast! Great experience for the price!

Very friendly staff great breakfast food, walking distance to beach, staff isn’t on site 24 hours but this is my personal opinion. Everyone was still very accommodating and was just a phone call away, it was very nice!

It was amazing, my room was pretty big, shared bath room, but it was very clean. Great location, close to the beach. For the plateau you have to walk around 20 - 30mins. The street is very loud, but during the night there's not a lot of traffic. It was a very pleasant stay.

The property was small and beautiful close to the beach and places to eat and embrace the culture. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere with frequent events to include food and music

Extremely wonderful stay twice in a week (we went back because it was so nice and so close to beach). Host was helpful with advice and taxis. Breakfast was homemade and amazing and different each day.

Quiet, residential neighborhood. A bit of a walk to get to any kind of convenience store. The room was serviceable with a shared bathroom and shower.

Lovely atmosphere, clean and spacious rooms, helpful staff, very convenient location, safe neighborhood, walkable distance to Praia plateau, and truly delicious food available at the on-site restaurant.

We really enjoyed our stay at Syd's Guesthouse. Syd was very helpful with general advice and answering our questions. The food at Syd's is delicious and probably some of the best we had during our stay in Cape Verde. Angela and her colleague were both incredible, very friendly and cooked us amazing breakfasts every morning. We would really recommend a stay at Syd's Guesthouse!

Close to the beach with a nice patio. Syd was very nice and helpful. I found it a little difficult to check in because there is a locked gate out front that you can’t get through unless someone is there to let you in.

Great Place with cute rooms and great food

We booked and paid for a 3-night stay 10 weeks in advance. Syd's confirmed our arrival time by email well in advance and kindly arranged airport pickup for us, etc. But 3 days before we arrived Syd sent an email saying they'd overbooked and we could only stay for 2 nights. She said we'd be accommodated in the suite for 2 nights (we weren't - we were put in the double room) and then we'd be refunded the cost of the 3rd night. We were already in Cape Verde by this point (Boa Vista), so we were scrambling trying to decide what to do, or where else to stay for the final night. hotels.com customer service tried to help, but were unable to get hold of anyone at Syd's that spoke English to confirm anything. In the end we just rebooked another hostel ourselves and waited for a refund from Syd's. When we did arrive at Syd's for check-in, Victor was kind and helpful (Sydney was out of town and we never met her the whole time we were there). We did get a cash refund for the 3rd night.......but it was massively inconvenient - and frustrating that we'd booked 10 weeks before but were only told we were being bumped off 3 days ahead. The guest house itself is nice, fairly clean, nice breakfast. Our first morning (Sunday) was brunch - the server didn't understand any English and kept calling Victor from the kitchen to come and help. They also wanted to charge us until we told them breakfast was included in our booking. Lots of people come for brunch so it was noisy all morning.

The location was quiet, the room was spacious and very clean. The employees friendly and received good service.

La tranquillité ,le personnel était chaleureux

The room is as shown in the pictures. Location is good and safe. Breakfast is superb!
