There is even room to tent in the shade if that's your style.

Latest Check-Ins
I stayed there serval nights in my tent. It’s 5000 CFA / night. There is a kitchen and good sanitary. Inside there a fans everywhere.
In the yard there is absolutely no shade. Next to your tent there will be lights with motion detectors. While I was there, they were building a bar, so it was really loud all the day long and even in the nights. The wifi is not the best. Sometimes it was quieter useable, sometimes you didn’t even were able to google something. But you’ll have 3/4 bars of 3G connection with an Orange SIM-Card.
nice place to stay and discover Bissau or the Island. you can leave your bicycle there for a few days
Report Check-InEin guter Platz um sich von der Reise und den Straßen von Bissau zu entspannen. Ich kann hier mein Motorrad sicher stehen lassen um mit einem Boot zu den Inseln zu fahren. Bis zum Hafen sind es vielleicht 2000 m . Die Nacht im Dorn kostet 8000 Cefa ohne Frühstück. Es gibt eine Bar und einen großen Innenhof.

There was music (only Fr&Sat), but it’s a cool place to meet locals and dance. We stayed nearly 2 weeks and enjoyed it.
Internet is not the best, but it’s the best place in Bissau to hook up with other travelers.
They do very nice breakfast with bread, eggs, a local specialty (every day different), but no coffee 😂 Nevertheless it’s a good start into the day.
Dorm bed 800
Private room with bathroom: 15.000
Laundry: 3000

Cheap place to stay. 8000 dorm 10000/15000 single/double. Big courtyard to park many vehicles. There is a stage too but no music while I was there. Owner is very friendly, speaks good English. He Has a Yamaha 600 too.
Report Check-InSame as below- super sweet and helpful owner, nice staff, decent facilities. October isn't high season for tourism but everyone I did meet in the country I met here at this hostel. Dorm 8,000 CFA per night. To be considered: hostel does not have a generator so when power and water go out (which is often) you are out of luck until they come back on.
Report Check-InVery beautiful place, owner very helpful he kept the bike for 4 days the time a went to the islands
Report Check-InPerfect place to meet others in a nice atmosphere!
Clean kitchen and bathroom, yard to sit outside (and safely park motorbikes and 4x4), WiFi, fridge with cold drinks, close to the center of town (and little shop), nice owner (Yannik) who owns a motorbike as well.
Bring your own mosquito net as all beds have them. Dorm or en-suite.
I think dorm is 9€ and an en-suite double is 23€.
Closed during the rainy season!
very nice people, dormitory with fan and moscito net 6000CFA/ night. good value for money, everything is clean.
Report Check-InFriendly and clean, can park 4x4 and have use of all facilities ..
close to embassy’s etc..
Really cool place. Super friendly and helpful English speaking rasta owner. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. There is a bar and and great coffee. All in all the perfect place with a super chill vibe.
Report Check-InFantastic spot for accommodation, food and drink. The owner, a Rasta man called Nik, will be one of the kindest people you meet on your trip. He usually has rooms available but he was renovating them all when I arrived as there was so few guests. He let me camp in his garden for almost nothing. You will have a great time there. I highly recommend gorilla, they have everything you need and if they dont have it, they will help you above and beyond what you expect!
Report Check-InFriendly place downtown Bissau, just opened after 6month of renovation. 18 000 xof for private room with double bed for two people with own bathroom. The place has bar and restaurant, safe parking. 9 000 for shared room, 12 000 single and private. Kitchen available.
Report Check-Infrom Gorilla Rooms Hotel, Yanik Spencer, write me:
Sorry, We dont have space to park the camping car.
We do have space for camp tends and hostel rooms .
We tried to camp at Belinca wich is next to the gorila hostel. At belinca there was nobody for a while . Gorila hostel let us sleep in their backyard in our rooftent. The guys were very friendly, cool and helpful. But it was way to pricy. We payed more than 15.000 cfa/day for three people in the tent. We had acces to the very small toilet and shower of the restaurant. They also wanted 5000 cfa a day for the parked car while we were at the Bijagos without telling us the price before.
All in all a nice spot but way to expensive.
And 24hours Room with private toilet from 10.000 xof a night ! With Wifi , room cleaning service and more services .
Adding 2000 xof for using the kitchen on daily bases to make your meals and keep food in the fridge !
An updated from November 2019 , from where the camping cost is for a person is 6.500 xof ( 10€ ) with the wifi , toilet and a relaxing Terrace , can request access to the kitchen on daily bases for more 2000 xof so you can make all your meals and use all the kitchen services !
Report Check-InI camped here for a few nights. 3500cfa p/n. the owner Nick is top man, as was as a kind generous a host as u could hope to have. he went out of his way time and time again to help out.

Very friendly and nice accomodation. 10.000 for one night. The owner speaks good English. Clean and not noisy. Fan and new mosquito net. Clean sheet and proper shower.
There is a bar and restaurant within the building. Food is 3500 for a big portion of delicious fish chips and veggies.
Wifi is okay.
Report Check-Inthey wanted me to charge 13.000Fcfa... I asked for 10.000 fcfa... they accepted it, but then I saw the room with fan :( I didn't take it.
Report Check-InClean and spacious rooms with toilets and showers, 10.000CFA, very friendly owner, there is a restaurant downstairs, look for Gorila Electronics - no other signs for the guesthouse - and it's in the same building. It's about 10mins walk to downtown or a 300CFA taxi ride. Bars in restaurants plenty on the street down to the centre.
Report Check-InAn up and coming little hostel. Right now there are a couple rooms with a bathroom. A room is 10,000 a night. There is secure parking and a security guard. Yanik Spencer is part of the local motorcycle club and the members have made the bar downstairs their local hangout. You will be hard pressed to find a friendlier place to stay in Bissau. Good info to be found for all your travels in Bissau.

There isn't a sign up yet but look for the Gorilla Electrónica it's a business Yanik runs right nextdoor.
