Jericia is possibly one of the best hotel managers on the island followed closely by the very helpful Laura. As a result both my stays here were extremely comfortable. The hotel and the nearby aparthotel rooms are clean, safe and a reliable home from home with the added bonus of exceptional staff.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    the room was nice and modern, nice washroom, good water pressure etc the area is where the embassies are located so i found it very safe especially as a solo female traveller. i was able to walk along the waterfront at night and felt safe. the beach is a good 20 min walk or you can get a taxi for 150-200 escudos

    The room was clean and comfortable. Location is safe, with some options of restaurants and small grocery stores nearby although because this district is on a hill, car was the main transport. There was not too much to see in the neighbourhood.

John who is often here as well is also a great person.
