Micaval Residential — Hotel in São Tomé

I had a HORRIBLE experience at Micaval, in Sao Tome. The photos on the site do not match the accommodation. There are two buildings: one in a residential area and the other on a busy boulevard. The photos correspond to the unit of the avenue. It is next to a polluted stream, full os mosquitos, and a carpentry that makes noise all day, which comes to shake the building. There is no transparent pricing policy: the property's owner charged me what I he wanted for the six-piece laundry service and for picking me up at the airport (almost 50 EUR). I had power blackout no for two nights in the room. The air conditioning was insufficient for the equatorial climate of São Tomé. Also, I had not any internet. On the first day the owner granted me a limited 3G modem, so I had to buy my own internet. I noticed that the reports of foreigners from northern countries to be allocated to the best rooms, so I had not the promised "city view" from my room. During all the time I had to be very tolerant to avoid a quarrel and destroy my holidays. In addition, after my time allowed for cancellation of the reservation, given the low occupancy of the accommodation, the owner heavily lowered the price of the new bookings and I felt injured. The only two good things were the room cleanness and the maid kindness. Anyway, I got really very disappointed. I DO NOT recommend...

Que maravilha! Só tivemos pena de não ter ficado mais noites.. A Ana e o Pedro sabem o que fazem, o melhor atendimento que alguém pode ter. Sentimo-nos da/em casa, excelentes anfitriões. O melhor pequeno almoço que tivemos durante toda a viagem (incluindo Príncipe)! Até nesse aspeto se nota um cuidado exímio em dar o melhor aos clientes. Fazem o transfer de e para o aeroporto de forma gratuita e, especialmente para quem chega pela primeira vez, certamente que faz toda a diferença na “integração” à ilha, já que tratam de tudo. O piso superior, onde é servido o pequeno almoço, está giríssimo, bem decorado e com óptimo ambiente a prometer outros voos. Os quartos sempre limpos e com todo o conforto (ar condicionado, tv, wi-fi) para quem quer conhecer o verdadeiro centro de São Tomé. Na nossa opinião, nas fotos parecem mais pequenos do que na realidade são. São Tomé precisa de mais oferta com este tipo de serviço....
