Sweet Guest House

Just a terrific place. Great location for exploring on foot and you can walk to numerous restaurants and cafes. The hotel arranged airport transfers for me, which was appreciated. My room was ver comfortable, basic but good. Excellent wifi, hot water, cold AC, and a comfy bed.|I loved the common areas, which inlaced outdoor seating and a kitchen.|Breakfast was extra and was only ok, but it is nice to have the option. |Very friendly and helpful staff.

Loved the Sweet Guest House. I stayed just one night but it was very cozy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room clean and comfortable. The hotel is a short walk from the city centre where there are a few restaurants and bars. Thre is a communal space on the top floor which is very nice. Great place to watch and listen to a thunderstrom. I didn't have the breakfast as I had to leave early. Within the premises is also a spa which offers massages. The Sweet Guest House is a great place to start a trip to Sao Tome and Principe.

Sweet Guesthouse on first impression looks nice. But for us it wasn’t so nice! The receptionist spoke very poor English (she would have thought it was an imperative to have some knowledge of the language when tourism is the main focus?). The room was clean but beds were soft and there was mould in the showers! It was also noisy with little sound proofing. We booked a taxi to a local restaurant in the evening. There are NO restaurants close by and they don’t serve food apart from breakfast. There was no drinking water in our rooms and in fact there was no water in the guesthouse!! I had to walk 200 metres to get water!!! The taxi (the one the guesthouse uses) charged us $20 each way ($5 per person) which I thought was outrageous for a five minute ride. The next morning, talking to someone who did speak English, I discovered that we had been charged at least double. The receptionist didn’t respond!!!

Stayed here the first two days of our STP trip and then spontaneously decided to also spend the last two days here. Just a good guest house with a fair price and very clean rooms. Would totally recommend! Payment with visa card is possible.

We stayed the last 3 days of our trip to São Tomé at Sweet Guesthouse and we were impressed by this place. It is located about a 15 minute walk to the center of São Tomé City, it's cozy and very clean. Our room had a/c, private bathroom and hot water. We also had breakfast here - with good coffee, bread, fruits, egs and excellent juice. It took us a while to find out how to get to city center but once we learnt the way it took us less than 15 minutes to reach downtown. On the last day of our stay we left our luggage by the reception after check-out (which is 12:00) and went out to enjoy our last moments in STP. Then we came back to the Guesthouse changed and took for the airport - we were allowed to use the bathroom even though we had already check-out. I would recommend this place if you want to stay close to the city center of São Tomé City.

I enjoyed my stay at Sweet Guest House, but I can’t help but feel that they nickel-and-dime you for everything. The breakfast is 10€ per person for a very simple continental breakfast, while there are cafes nearby where you can eat delicious local food at your hearts content for 2-3€ total. If you want late check-out there’s a fee, which is fine - but what’s not fine is that they want to charge an extra 7€ to use the common areas after checkout. This is not a way to respect guests who have already paid a relatively high premium to stay here. They also charge 10€ per person for a taxi, which is billed by the hotel - again, I can’t help but feel the price is exaggerated and the hotel retains a cut. The room was clean, comfortable, and had air conditioning, and the shared areas are lovely. Service was hit-or-miss. The receptionists were great, particularly Gerilson who provided amazing service, but the chefs at breakfast seemed bothered that we would even talk to them. Anyways, I’m not so sure I would stay here again. I would definitely consider other choices in town.

One of the most renowned pension! Feels like a youth hostel, shared and private rooms available, public kitchen and sofa area... A good place to start your visit of São Tomé!

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!
