I had a fantastic stay at a small hotel in a quiet area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious, almost like a small flat, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and a large bathroom with a separate shower and bath. The breakfast provided was good, with a warm meal option in addition to the buffet. The hotel also had a swimming pool, and although the water temperature was a bit low, it was still enjoyable. The location of the hotel was great, close to many embassies and the UN compound, making it extremely safe and convenient. There was also a very good mall nearby, which was a bonus.
Everything is what I need and want.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, being close to the embassies and a small mall called Village Market where you can find everything you need for a convenient stay. The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic, making it a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home.
All was good.

The hotel is clean and well-decorated, with attention to detail. The location is ideal, with tight security and walking distance to a convenient mall. The staff is kind, gentle, and always smiling. The property is amazing, surrounded by trees and a nice garden.
Nothing, it was perfect.
