Residential Avenida

São Tomé


An easygoing mix of locals and foreign visitors, this is the best midrange option. Spread out on ground level, it has a communal vibe, with a central thatched-roof bar and restaurant (mains €9 to €15; fish is a speciality) and popular TV. There's a nice spread of clean and simple rooms, including triples and two-bedroom suites, but they're a bit dark. English spoken.
