We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Although it’s located right in the city center, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, which made it easy to relax after a busy day. The hotel itself feels very new and well maintained the bathroom was spotless and equipped with modern amenities. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile, which really enhanced the overall experience. I genuinely enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere

Royal mindelo best known for cafe royal A historic colonial house with Antique and modern features, like remodeled bathrooms with hot water…Air conditioning works great super cold to relax after a hot day in Sao Vicente, I was provided with a big screen tv with all channels from all over the world. The owners where very accommodating and friendly they provided guidance..The staff was excellent and trustworthy., especially the ladies that clean my room and change my sheets daily. The hotel have a safe which I didn’t have to use because I felt comfortable with the staff. My my main concern when I booked was my safety being a solo traveler and 20 years since the last time that I visited the islands.The owners made sure that while I was a guest at Royal mindelo I was protected and safe.The cleanliness in this place is superb. I had breakfast every morning it was excellent and delicious the coffee was really good. Thank you so much. I will stay again .

The carnival time is one of the best times to enjoy Mindelo.

The carnival time is one of the best times to enjoy Mindelo. Very colourful, lots of excitement and great atmosphere. You should try the local food, cachupa and the kamoka ice cream. Sao Pedro, close to the airport is a great place to see the turtles. The fish museum is adjacent to the African market where you can get souvenirs.

Cesaria Evora museum is small but nice to do. The tavern, Italian restaurant was a good choice. Popular as well is Metalo restaurant, is much bigger with live music with a more fast food menu. The Sunday carnaval in Ribeira Bote was also a pleasant happening.

The city is quite compact, and you can easily explore the entire city center in a day. The more rural areas on the outskirts are less attractive, but I didn’t feel unsafe there. There are plenty of great bars and restaurants with live music in the evenings. Le Metalo was my favorite—both the food at the restaurant and the street food were excellent. The Municipal Market was a lovely spot, offering a variety of local souvenirs along with some random Chinese goods. The boutiques were similar—featuring a mix of local products and many Chinese-made items. The architecture is a blend of beautifully renovated historical buildings, modern constructions, dilapidated houses, and industrial structures. The people were fantastic. I had no trouble asking for photos or advice. It probably would have been easier to communicate in Kriolu, Portuguese, or French, but English worked in most basic situations.

It is not a destination city but serves as a good launching point for hiking or boating around the islands. Most stores only take local currency and cash. Limited stores and supplies. Quiet little town

I am orginally from Mindelo so this is home away from home. My city is easily accessible by walking or car. People are friendly and the food is amazing. I love sitting at local coffee shops like Kafe Djan Djan and Prassa 3 and also having some ice cream Cremositos - the best italian ice cream around.

Thank you, Cherelle and Elvis, for all your support and help during our stay. The apartment is wonderful, and Cherelle and Elvis helped us organise a taxi and find places and restaurants in Mindelo. I highly recommend this place!

Breakfast was only european/continetal with the bad imported food from oversea, no capucha. Hotel is okay for Mindelo, but only because it's Mindelo! It's a running down overpriced island, every other island is so much better.
