Sweet Guest House

This is about the only option for reasonably priced and reasonably comfortable lodging in Sao Tome. The location is not ideal for walking and the rooms are bare boned. Be sure to organize breakfast plans in advance. It looks like a buffet, but it’s only for those who have reserved it. All in all it’s not a bad choice for those who don’t want to pay resort prices.

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 didn't meet the owners but the staff were always friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay for business and would definitely consider staying here again. It would have been very helpful if the hotel information sheet in the rooms had informtaion about when the reception was open, details about the power availability during the day (none if the public power fails) and the reception itself had this and accurate information about the hotel wifi stuck on the window for when it's closed!

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!

Love this place. Super comfy, super fast internet, location is good (about a 10 min walk to town), staff are so helpful and friendly (Bemilton is the best!), it also has a great upstairs terrace with a view, communal kitchen, it is very clean. Basically, I can't think of a con!

Great place with welcoming staff!

Très correct dans le cadre d'un compromis prestation / prix / localisation. Hôtel quasi central permettant de rayonner à pied pour découvrir la Capitale. Chambre propre avec une climatisation très efficace. Salle de bains très petite, chambre petite quand occupée à 3. Personnel d'accueil sympathique. Petit déjeuner correct sans être "waouh", le suivi et réapprovisionnement est peu efficace.
