The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Spa Experience

During my stay, I had an amazing massage at the spa, which was truly a highlight of my visit. The range of treatments offered on the spa menu is really good, and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. You absolutely can't miss indulging in the Moroccan bath service, it's rejuvenating and refreshing!

Excellent Breakfast Buffet

Every morning at the hotel, I was treated to an amazing breakfast buffet. The variety was impressive, with everything from traditional Ethiopian dishes to fresh fruits and pastries. The special ginger tea was particularly good and a perfect way to start the day!

Luxurious Room Amenities

I stayed in a beautifully decorated presidential suite that was as spacious as it was comfortable. The room had a small kitchenette and a large living area which made my stay incredibly pleasant. Additionally, the complimentary Wi-Fi was fast and always reliable throughout my visit.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, especially if you're involved in any work with the UN or other organizations nearby. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired – they seemed quite old and in need of repairs. But the standout aspect was definitely the service; the staff went above and beyond to help. Overall, it felt like decent value for money given the location, but I wish the room quality matched the price.

Rooms

The rooms were quite spacious but suffered from poor maintenance issues, like exposed brickwork and leaks. It really felt outdated, with several holes in the ceiling and walls, and the furniture seemed worn out.

Being close to the UN headquarters and other major NGOs made this hotel super convenient for my work. It's removed from the city's hustle and bustle, yet everything I needed was within a short distance.

Dining

I found the dining experience lacking. The food was very spicy – even the non-spicy options didn’t quite fit my taste. It would be great to have more variety for those of us who prefer milder dishes.

While the overall facilities felt a little outdated, they were functional enough. Just wish they had offered more modern amenities.

The hotel has its ups and downs; while the service was incredibly attentive and the location felt very secure, the rooms could use some improvement. I found them to be spacious but not as stylishly furnished as I expected, which was disappointing. The dining experience also left something to be desired as the food was often too spicy for my taste. Overall, I think it offers decent value for the price, but there are definitely areas that need attention.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the service from the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room I was in left much to be desired, with cleanliness issues and uncomfortable arrangements.

However, the location was somewhat marred by surrounding construction, which gave off an uncomfortable vibe. Overall, it was decent but had its downsides.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, particularly its cleanliness and the comfortable bed in my room. The location was perfect for accessing various NGOs and international organizations, including the UN headquarters. However, there were some maintenance issues in the room that were a bit off-putting, along with a dining experience that didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, it provided decent value for money, but there were definitely areas that could use improvement.
