Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I booked this alleged 4 star hotel for my husband’s 40th and reserved a suite. On arrival the ‘suite’ was just a standard room with a sofa tucked into the corner. It became apparent quite quickly that the hotel wasn’t 4 stars. The food is okaaay, the service is variable. There’s only one iron for the whole hotel. The pool didn’t have any water in it 😅 and the lift kept breaking. I started taking my own wipes down to breakfast because the tables and high chair (we came with our 11 month old daughter) were never properly cleaned. We had dinner once at the hotel restaurant and it was pretty average.
There were good things though. The staff were very friendly and they allowed us to have a late checkout until 10pm, which was so useful as our flight was at midnight.
Overall we didn’t have a bad time but it definitely is not 4 stars.

The bed & pillows were the comfiest we’ve had throughout our stay on 4 different islands in Cape Verde. The bathroom was great with a fab rain shower. The room was lovely with patio doors straight into the garden/pool area - pool just right to jump into & cool down. Everything seemed really clean. The buffet breakfast was also one of the best with so much choice & delicious fresh breads. We didn’t try the evening meals as we thought it was expensive, we ate locally (see my review on Bia bar restaurant). Most staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a small hotel but perfectly formed! The staff are very friendly always smiling and happy to help. The rooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Housekeeping is second to none the rooms are spotless. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The pool and the garden are on the small size but never over crowded and the pool is a wellness spa pool rather than a swimming pool. The beach is walking distance and you can use the swimming pool at the sister hotel just down the road.also can use their private part of the beach with loungers. Breakfast is included and is a good buffet style with enough choices even for a vegan! The on site restaurant is good and staff are friendly. Only thing that could be improved is tea and coffee making facilities are not available in the room. But staff are always happy to make you one! All in all a fantastic stay will definitely come back again

Stayed at this hotel for four nights. Excellent cleanliness and hospitality, friendly, knowledgeable and always available staff... as indeed is the case throughout the island. The hotel is new, with a very quiet atmosphere and breakfast is also organized and offers various products (including the possibility of having eggs prepared on the spot). Furthermore, you can take advantage of the private beach which is a 10-minute walk away. What to say? We had a great time and it was really a shame to leave

We stayed at Hotel Sobrado for twelve nights. Currently, given the Covid situation, there were only very few guests, and it is no business as usual. Still, the whole staff was very professional as usual and made sure we had a pleasant stay. Most places are easily reachable by foot within maximum 15 minutes. To the pier (and the famous Brazilian Kiosk 😉) it is about 10 minutes to walk. Sobrado guests may use the Halos Hotel Beach (10-minute walk), where sun loungers and sun blinds are available. Generally, the Halos beach has a nice view and is also good for swimming/bathing. The breakfast was fine. Coffee/Cappuccino, juices, eggs (scrambled, fried, Omelet), Croissants, bred, yogurt and fruits were offered. Our room was of decent size and quite modern. The mattress was a bit soft for us but still ok. We had a nice bathroom (with a rain shower) and a small balcony. One day we had a small leak in the bathroom which was immediately fixed by the staff after we reported it. In the hotel there is also the restaurant Piri Piri which offers delicious Pizza at reasonable prices. We ate there a few times. They make their Pizza in a real Pizza oven and they also provide good draft beer. Still, we also went into town several times if we were more in the mood for seafood which is obviously delicious and should be tried on Sal. For us, as we were looking for a bed and breakfast style accommodation to sleep, Hotel Sobrado completely met these requirements. As written before, the staff was always very helpful, professional, and nice. We very much enjoyed our stay there and can clearly recommend the hotel 😊

An experience full of colours, sounds and emotions. Cabo Verde, and specifically the island of Sal, is a destination that allows for a trip full of comfort but at the same time in contact with the African atmosphere. It immediately makes me feel like Africa. Excellent organization by the Capoverde Time tour operator and in particular a special thanks to Alessandro for his professionalism, hospitality and competence. We traveled with two adults and a child. Sal is also a perfect destination for trips with children or alone, it is safe and peaceful. The excursions offered by the tour operator are beautiful. Excellent and quiet hotel the Sobrado for those looking for a quality experience but not wanting to stay in resorts, helpful and competent staff

Small/medium sized hotel, ideal for those seeking tranquility and relaxation. However it remains close to the center, 10 minutes walk, there is also a supermarket nearby. The pool is small but clean, very nice garden and solarium, possible to use the gym and its equipment. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the staff is extremely friendly. Very good goes variety of food and quality

We stayed a week in this hotel and had a very good time. The staff, especially Alessia, are always very helpful and friendly. The property is located just outside the city center (about 5 minutes on foot) and about 10 minutes from the beach. What amazed us most of all is the quality of the food from breakfast, lunch and dinner. We eat really well. Highly recommended

Nice and clean hotel with large rooms. There is a minibar, air conditioning, balcony and excellent bathroom with walk-in shower. Excellent staff and a courtyard with a small swimming pool with sunbeds. A bonus is access to the free beach beds at the beach club of the Haloshotel, a 10-minute walk away. The breakfast is sufficient and an omelet is baked for you with love! A winner for this price!

We stayed a week in February at Sobrado, we had a great time both in the structure and on the island, in the evening we could go to the halos for entertainment and during the day to the beach always reserved for Halos and Sobrado. Excellent food, fantastic entertainment, thanks to Alessia and Renza Saramin who helped us with the booking!!! See you next time and no stress
