Acacias Hotel

Not worth the price . Even though it’s cheaper

Very nice property, nice staff, but hotel needs an update. Things weren’t working properly like ceilings fan and wifi kept shutting off.

We were pleasantly surprised upon checking into Les Acacias. It was the only place we stayed at in this country that had 1. Warm water showers, and 2. Fresh fruit at breakfast. The free airport shuttle was a real bonus and all the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was a very large 1-bedroom apartment with nice views over the pool and sea. There was no problem with outside noise at all and we had a very restful sleep. The room was clean and comfortable however there were a few minor maintenance issues that needed taking care of. Our room had a kitchen but there were absolutely no utensils or other kitchen equipment, making it non-functional. There was a good internet TV in the bedroom, but oddly, nothing in the living room. The internet connection was solid, the best we experienced in Djibouti. The pool area was super nice – a shame we didn’t get a chance to use it. The buffet breakfast was fairly basic but very good, the best we had in Djibouti, with lots of fresh fruit and made to order omelets. Just 100m outside the hotel is a very good pizzeria – highly recommended!! Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to other travelers wanting to escape the chaos of the central city.

Love the view, quiet and clean place. Staff are nice, helpful and professional. I will also looking forward to go back there.

The HIGH LIGHTS about this property would be the rooms with balconys, the Excellent outdoors seating space and my favorit being right by the water.

Cockroaches in the room. Dishes in the hallway for two days. Room was filthy. Shower was dirty and had calcium deposits caked over the handle. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I left after one night and will seek a refund for the entire stay.

This hotel could be so much better with a bit more attention. I stayed in two different rooms (one had roaches). Both bathrooms were very much in need of renovation. The shower was particularly poor. The bed was fine. By far, the best feature was the large screen TV that allowed you to use your Amazon Prime or Netflix account. Breakfast was ok. They made me eggs and had continental breakfast type items. I also stayed at the more expensive hotel 500 meters away (Kempinski). If all you want the room for is a place to sleep, Kempinski might not be worth the extra $100 USD. But factoring in breakfast, the hotel restaurant, spa, pool, etc. I thought it was definitely worth the extra money.

Apart from the bar,swimming pool, and sea view no other redeeming features. Broken shower taps, and toilet handles. Dim lighting. Far from the city centre. It charge about USD 150. You can find better hotels in the city centre.

We spent 6 days in Acacias and the highlights were definitely the courtesy of the staff and the pleasant premises of the hotel. Nice swimming pool, refined art decoration, pleasant sea view on the deck in ongoing construction. Thanks to all staff for the kindness and hospitality.

Les Acacias was a great little oasis in Djibouti. Being able to come back to the calm pool area after being out all day was perfect. Rooms were in good shape and had decent wifi. The included breakfast was also pretty good. Be sure to say hi to Zeus the friendly pool dog!
