About this place Hotel central

Hotel Central is listed as a small mainstream hotel on Rua de Angola in São Tomé, the capital of São Tomé and Príncipe. It is gay-friendly, not a gay venue, and rates 4.3 on Google from about 100 reviews. We have little verified detail on rooms or facilities, so confirm directly before booking. Same-sex relations have been legal in the country since 2012, but there is no visible gay scene, and discretion is the norm.

No ATM accepted our Visa, so we went to the Hotel Central and they exchanged our Euros for Dobra at a very good rate. We also had excellent coffee there.

The coffee is very good! In my opinion, the best breakfast in town.

Very average and basic hotel. I booked a room with a queen but was given instead two tiny twins without any reason. Breakfast is included but don’t come hungry. It’s extremely basic and limited. There is a restaurant on site but they don’t take credit cards as is the norm on the island. Only if it’s a São Tomé credit card. AC was not strong. Wifi was OK but sometimes turned off. I booked this as I wanted to be in the center and a place that accepts card payment but if I returned I probably would look elsewhere.
