Past its best

Reviewed By Greg49

This may have been 5 star once but the lack on investment in the property is clearly evident. Threadbare towels, broken toilet, bar tills that don't work etc. Staff are pleasant and helpful though, but it's not 5 star.

Incredible helpful !!!

Reviewed By 726georgz

Am I allowed to write a review about an hotel you have never been to ??? Everyone would say, no George, you definitely can’t ! So the reader may forgive me that I am going to do it nevertheless !!! We , that means my wife, our children and me, were planning to visit Sao Tome and Principe on eastern 22. By making preparations and planning the trip the team of the hotel was incredible helpful, open for every question and always with an open ear ! No matter if it concerned rooms, flights, excursions or rental cars - there was always a wonderful and friendly hand ! I’m sure in that hotel they are all like this but I have to mention Carmen Van Wyk because she was becoming a kind of friend to me over all these outstanding helps and messages ! Because of a natural disaster we missed our flights and although we tried every possibility at Frankfort airport there was no chance in all the coming days for us to reach Sao Tome ! Beside of being sad, disillusioned and frustrated again much work was needed to organize the „not-coming“ of our family and again, Carmen and her team was the nicest, most helpful and most emphatic person you can imagine. So maybe one can understand that without ever having been to one of the HBD hotels of Sao Tome and Principe we have made experiences with the team of that hotel group which must be helpful for other guest knowing that whatever will happen while you are on vacation on a far away island, people of that hotel will take care of you like if you belong to their family …thank you again and we are really deeply touched !

Stayed at Sweet Guest House a total of 7 days in November 2021. Big and clean rooms that are cleaned every day. Very friendly and helpful staff. I loved the social area on top since there are not so many places to stay out at night in Sao Tome. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location in the heart of city

Reviewed By 919pavelh

Fantastic location, all necessary amenities such as street money changers, petrol station, supermarket, bars, restaurants are all on the doorstep of this hotel. It’s great for the first night on the island so you can soak up the culture. I’ve had a room facing the backyard which was fairly disappointing as was hoping to get one facing the street. However, it was very clean, AC was working and you get 2 bottles of water for free. The restaurant was quite disappointing. Coffee was good but for food all they were doing was a ham and cheese sandwich and some eggs. It’s slightly overpriced for what you get.

Entering a relax zone

Reviewed By DespoinaMi

We had an amazing relaxing time in Vila Marylin. It is a value for money accommodation. We had already spent a week in Sao Tome and we have stayed in different accommodations and definitely Vila Marylin was the one we enjoyed the most. The staff was excellent , friendly and helpful , even though not all of them were speaking English. ( They speak French and Portuguese ) Breakfast was decent, Pool area was relaxing, rooms were spacious. We had to move rooms because of some reconstruction, and the toilet door was broken. But , given the price paid, rest of the room was overall good. Neighborhood might seem sketchy at the beginning, specially if this is your first time in Sao Tome, but it is safe to walk around. Restaurants and center area is approx 20 mins walk. We regretted that we couldn't stay longer. In the next visit to Sao Tome, Vila Marylin will be the top choice for vacations. Thanks to everyone in the staff that made our short experience there unforgettable and a reason to look forward to go back one day to Sao Tome.

Pzero Hotel

Great one night stay

Reviewed By michaelmK6209LH

Spent one night at PZero with a group of friends. The host Carla is fantastic and always avalaible to help in order to accomodate the clients. The rooms, common areas and restaurant are very clean with the only downside is internet connection from the rooms as simetimes it gets disconnected. We also dined at the Moon restaurant which had also good quality of food. Recommed a stay at PZero.
