Excellent service and value. All of the staff are truly kind. I use their airport pick up service and it was a breeze. Good breakfast, strong Wi-Fi. The pool is nice and the location near the port is very convenient if you are going to take a scuba cruise. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. Highly recommend. And I am going back there in a week.

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.
