Hotel full of character in the middle of town.

Old-time Italian, full of oddities. Very nice reception and restaurant staff but menu needs reworking and language corrected. If things don't work in your room, e.g light, hot water, they repair immediately. I enjoyed my stay.

Sunshine Hotel Asmara

Sadly Eritrea is not a tourist destination to recommend. The hotel is expensive for about a one star hotel. Wifi is virtually non existent, hot water a rare commodity and food very average. One can only travel out of Asmara with difficulty and great expense. Not a place I will return to in a hurry, much as I loved Asmara in the past.

Good hotel in a spectacular city

The hotel staff and friendly and helpful. The breakfast (included) was good. The biggest complaints would be slow internet service and inability to use credit cards, but that's true everywhere in Eritrea. On the whole, a good place to stay in Asmara.

Decent place to stay in Asmara

Nice place--a bit worn around the edges, and the bed isn't the most comfortable. Wi-fi barely exists, but a nice stay overall. Staff are wonderful and the neighborhood can't be beat. Recommended overall.

Sähköposti aukesi tunnin odottelun jällkeen ja oli koko päivän todella vaikeaa päästä nettiin. Lisäksi n. 15min todellista käyttöä, jonka jälkeen ilmoitus, että olet käyttänyt nttiä tarpeeksi sinä päivänä.

あらゆる面で最悪なホテルでした。

深夜にホテルに到着：お金は前日より払っているが、風呂に入ろうと思うとタオル他何も用意されていない。温度も水。 朝食はビュッフェと書いてあったが、異なっていた。 タクシを依頼すると値段が2倍（空港からホテルまで約5㎞あり、空港からホテル間は深夜でUS$20であった。逆のコースも深夜ではあるがUS$40）になる。1㎞がUS$8は高過ぎる。 レセプションで博物館の開館/休館か尋ねたが嘘を教えられ、博物館へ行ったが休館で見学できなかった。（何度も電話で確認してくれと言ったが・・・） ベッドは古く真中で大きく沈んでいて、熟睡できなかった。 3日間宿泊したが、バスタブに水が溜まるほど入れるには半日ほど掛かる湯量であった。・・・とても風呂ではなかった。 タオル等は事前に用意されていないので毎回連絡しないと行けない。 部屋には冷暖房設備が無い。
