Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Quite bad
Not at all clean and no staff available upon our arrival. Would not recommend, despite the cheap rates. The area however is safe and quiet, but a bit «off» but ok
not the best looking location set in the local population you have to accept the noise music/children/dogs ,it has the municipal market on the doorstep large supermarket within walking distance security not a problem keys for front door and room both have solid doors , cooking very hard with only basic equipment
The room on ground floor is noisy, dark, the bed is broken, very unpleasant to sleep on. On arrival we have been promised to move to the 1st floor on the day after, but it never happened. If you want fresh towels or fresh sheets or your room to be clean you have to ask for it, otherwise will never happen!!The shower is rusty, and the shower curtain is very dirty! I don't recommend to stay at Dorada studios.
Our booking was clearly indicated that there would be 2 double beds with a ocean view terrace. They first showed us a room with one double bed, which were didn't accept, they there was a room with no lights and finally we were given a room with 2 double beds with a 1x1m terrace which was 1m away from another tall building with no view. The beds were unconfortable and broken and the sheets were not clean.
Value for money but very, very basic! Room only attended once, no change of linen or towels, toilet paper not replenished, glad I took my own but had no room for sheets and pillowcases!!

OK for this money. Paula - very nice and helpful lady.
Paula, you have been the best host so far! Thank you very much for everything!!! I will be back and can't wait to see you and your lovely family again. Cheers Frank
j’aurais du me méfier des commentaires agressifs du propriétaire. Oui je sais que le Cap Very est un pays modeste, et que l’île de Sal peut être onéreuse par rapport à d’autres îles de l’archipel. certes la nuitée pour Sal est bon marché, rien à redire dessus. mais quel endroit horrible. Les serviettes sales, le lit inconfortable, les draps douteux.... la personne de la réception est serviable et gentille.

Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono. La struttura è spartana ma andava bene così. La signora Paola molto gentile e disponibile.

Endroit sympa mais pas de moustiquaires !!
Robinetterie a re oit sale de bain
Éclairage pas toujours au top
Bonne literie
Appartement vaste et bien situé .
There are no wifi connections also on the evening time wasn't water at all. That was bad point cause we took a full day quad trip and after we couldn't get a shower. The good point - Lady on the reception was very kind and nice she make us feel welcome.
Il s'agit d'un 2 étoiles au Cap vert donc il faut s'attendre à un 1 étoile côte européen. Studio spacieux, manque de quoi cuisiner mais avec tt ce qui se trouve ds les alentours cela pose pas de problème. Il n'y à pas d'accueil mais le joignable par contact téléphonique a tout moment.
Bref. BON SEJOUR !

El apartamento está bien en relación con su precio. La persona que te recibe, Paola, está siempre pendiente y dispuesta a ayudar en lo que necesites. Yo he estado muy a gusto.
