Best rooms
Request a ground-floor room for easier access and proximity to the step-free entrance. Given the two-storey building with stairs only, you'll want to avoid rooms on the upper floor to minimize the need for climbing stairs.
Request a room on the second or third floor, facing the interior courtyard (away from the main street). These floors are above street-level noise but still accessible via stairs, and the courtyard side is quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Upper floor rooms due to the lack of a lift and stairs-only access.
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street — likely no lift in a 3-star in central Bolama, so ground floor has direct noise from foot traffic, motorbikes, and market bustle. Also avoid rooms near the stairwell (sound carries) or any side facing the bar or reception if one exists.
Wi-Fi
Free basic Wi-Fi (2 Mbps, good for messaging) in lobby and ground-floor rooms; premium tier 5,000 XAF/day for 10 Mbps in all areas
Free basic WiFi in lobby and some ground-floor rooms; speed approx. 4 Mbps download, unreliable in upper-floor rooms. No paid tier available.
