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.

Nice place

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.

Thank you

Everyone was helpful from picking us up at the airport late in the night to letting us stay one more night without notice. Breakfast is good and there is a restaurant in the guesthouse that seems quite nice.

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.

We spent 3 nights in the apartment at this guesthouse . Yes it was clean , the bed comfortable and a spacious apartment . It’s an older building that just needs a bit of upkeep . Not huge issues but light fixtures on wall in living room did not work , one was broken . The outside seating area in lovely garden setting needs more light . The outdoor string lights had only one working light that was off more than on and the motion sensor light did not work right . We sat in dark , Screen door is awkward and does not close all the way . On a positive note the breakfast is delicious and the lady who made it and served it was lovely .
