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.

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.

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.
