This is a great business hotel in the harbor area of Djibouti. It has everything you need to do business. There is not much around there but the harbor region and a lagoon with a few restaurants. Staff is very friendly.

Nice, new, modern, clean hotel, great for a work trip. The rooms smell a bit like toxins (probably from cheaper materials) but the rooms feel nice and well appointed. Just no pool, sea view, etc.

L'hôtel Escale International propose une qualité d'hébergement de très bon niveau pour un tarif intéressant. Les chambres sont tenues de façon impeccable. Le personnel est disponible. Seul axe d'amélioration, la télévision est en chinois et ne permet pas un accès aux chaines nationales et internationales.
