    clean room
    delicious breakfast
    great accessibility
    limited breakfast options
    slow wifi

    I stayed for 2 nights while attending a conference at the United Nations Office nearby. The room was clean and well arranged, which made my stay comfortable. I really enjoyed the variety of options at breakfast, especially the delicious omelets and fresh fruits. The accessibility to both the US embassy and various attractions like Gigiri was a plus.

    The hotel offers a great location and very nice staff. I found the room size decent, though some furniture and amenities were lacking. The breakfast was satisfactory, but I noticed maintenance issues such as a broken toilet seat. Overall, it's a good budget option, especially for a short stay.

    Staff That Goes the Extra Mile

    The friendly staff went above and beyond, always cheerful and ready to assist. The hotel's location was ideal for exploring nearby shops and the UN compound, making it a convenient choice for my trip.

    However, my room felt a bit worn down. It lacked some essential furniture, like a nightstand, and I experienced issues with the Wi-Fi, which often disrupted my work plans.

    quiet area
    indoor mall
    weak wi-fi

    The location sits a short walk from an indoor mall packed with shops. The quiet area adds a layer of comfort, making it easy to unwind after a long day.

    The room size was decent, but it had no air conditioning, and fundamental furniture like a nightstand was missing. Wi-Fi access was a hassle, feeling weak or nonexistent, particularly in my room, which disrupted work. Breakfast options were limited and definitely left something to be desired. The overall cleanliness was questionable, with hairs found on the bathroom surfaces and pillow cases during my stay.

    The friendly staff made me feel welcomed during my stay.

    Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was quite slow, which was frustrating for my work. I also noticed that there were limited breakfast options, and this was slightly disappointing.

    The location was perfect for my needs, with easy access to the nearby American embassy and several local shops.

    The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable, often leaving me without internet access when I needed it most.
