- Blessing (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff More can be done with the cuisine
- Agim (10/5): -
- Boris (10/5): -
- Helen A (9/5): A clean and luxurious hotel to escape the chaos of the city outside. - Clean and luxurious hotel with a good range of gym equipment and swimming pool. Helpful staff. A bit pricey overall.
- Shabbir (8/5): - The location The Water in the bathroom to use was too salty as if directly from the sea.
- Boris (10/5): -
- Ronald Musoke (8/5): Ideal for a Business traveller to Djibouti based on location - Helpful staff, quite comfortable room and unique construction of the facility Breakfast and meals generally were quite limited
- Aaron (10/5): - The location was great and central. Front desk stuff spoke English which was convenient for me as I don’t speak French. They were also very extremely friendly and helpful. Got complimentary late check out till 6pm.

- Helen A (9/5): A clean, comfortable, quiet hotel room, great breakfast and excellent gym equipment. - I stayed here for nearly a week as it was comfortable and had a very well equipped gym and swimming pool. Accommodation in Djibouti can be a bit extreme, either very expensive high end resorts or cheaper hotels in the loud part of the city. This one was in between. The breakfast buffet was quite expansive, and included Chinese food to cater to the hotel's main clients. It's a bit pricey but that's Djibouti.

- CHLT (10/5): - Very new, exceptionally clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Chinese and western breakfast served. This is a joint venture between China and Djibouti companies. Almost Olympic size swimming pool. The hotel is not located in the center but rather outside of the center). (from 15 to 30 minute walk depending on your pace.). Excellent wifi. TV channels are in Chinese only

A recommander sue Djibouti
- Michael (10/5): - Its new. And the swimming pool, gym is really nice. Nothing0 p
- PURITY (8/5): - It's probably one of the best hotels in Djibouti city, with great amenities including a gym, and all the stuff that you'ld typically appreciate having in your room, ranging from an iron box to shower caps. I also got upgraded to a room that had a fitted mini kitchen and a washing machine, which was really nice of them. It's generally clean but I think this aspect could be improved a bit, especially when it comes to the bathrooms in the rooms.
- Michael (10/5): - Its a 3 years old hotel with great facilities. Good choice for free breakfast. Room come with fridge and good washroom with nice shower space.
Will come back again. Nothing
- khalid (9/5): - Fantastic Corridoors are bit hot and the resturant is bit poor
- Boris (10/5): -
- Fred (8/5): -
- ALEKSEI (7/5): - Very poor breakfast for the price of the room, TV only in Chinese, unkempt pool.

La cama comodisima y mi un solo ruido alrededor La limpieza no es muy escrupulosa.
El desayuno bastante mejorable
Las instalaciones de la piscina están como si hubiera habido un huracán

- Daniel (7/5): Overall it was a good stay, bed was comfortable, superb linens and pillows. Very comfortable, relaxed and quiet stay. I - Rooms were exceptional, very modern and clean. Nice lighting and good A/C. Great shower , large towels and nice toiletries. Breakfast was very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Two large bottles of water included in room. Internet was down upon arrival as well as some power issues in the room but was quickly resolved. I booked a Superior room but I think I received a standard size. It was okay in size for a solo traveler. Television prompts were all in Chinese. No coffee or tea…
- Boris (10/5): -
- Mousa (9/5): - they did not clean my room well and my bed was not well made
- RYOHEI (8/5): -
- Tanyaradzwa (3/5): If you aren’t chinese, stay away - Good and cheerful reception and restaurant local staff. Disrespectful and annoying house keeping staff. An “asian” front desk manager assigned local staff to check me in but soon as other “asian” guests arrived he personally checked them in and showed them to their rooms. Found that to be very racist
- Ala (7/5): -
- Charles (10/5): Enjoyable, comfy, and quiet. - Quiet location, suitable getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The rooms are in pristine condition! Additionally, the staff are quite friendly, including the manager, who was always available to provide in-person support. The restaurant is not open all the time, so it takes a little longer to get your food order delivered. But the hotel offers free room service to take care of that.
- Anup (2/5): - Poor location. Please take a hotel in city
- Md (10/5): Overall good MasaAllah - Location, Facilities Price
- Karthik (5/5): Passable - NOTHING SPECIAL TO LIKE. No AC IN COMMON AREAS. NO CONTINENTAL BREAFAST OR DINNER. ONLY CHINESE FOOD. HANDSHOWER IN WASH ROOM IS USELESS AND TWISTED.
- Charles (9/5): Superb - Room ambience and cleanliness was great! Not to mention the smiling and supportive staff who made our stay quite homely. 1. The TV was set only to Chinese channels, and I could not change it. No popular local and international channels were available, not even YouTube!
3. We wanted to take dinner in-house, but the hotel staff referred us to a restaurant outside the hotel.
- Joe (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were attentive and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable , great gym too
- Joe (10/5): Exceptional - Such helpful staff and very kind
- Altan (10/5): pleasant stay - The rooms are really clean.. the staff of the hotel real spectacular
- Bugabe (7/5): Good -
- Salman (3/5): King family - I did like sport I didn't poor country
- Roble (10/5): Exceptional -
- Moussa (10/5): Excellent location, clean and great customer service. - Nice location, next to the water and only 20 minutes walk from bawadi mall. Reception staff externally courteous and helpful. Accommodated my late checkout and really provided excellent service.
- Ps (6/5): Pleasant - The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and responsive The corridors smelled like cigarette smoke. Three tv channels were all on Chinese. The staff didn't know how switch to international channels. While I enjoyed that there was a microwave and a one plate stove in the room. The stove and sticky residue on it.
- Roberto (10/5): Good service. Good location. - The staff is very friendly and the service overall is very good. The breakfast buffet and dinner were also way above average for Djibouti.
- Zewditu (6/5): Pleasant - New, clean, and aesthetically pleasing! Beds are comfortable and pillows were perfect blend of fluff and sturdiness! The bathroom. The shower never had any hot water for the entire 5 nights I stayed despite numerous attempts from hotel staff to fix the problem. Bathroom flushing can only happen one time every 15 mins! That’s how long it takes for it to fill up :(
- Jenna (9/5): Superb - Staff is super friendly and willing to help with anything. I could get a late check-out for free and they arranged my taxi to the airport for the next day. Room is very comfy. There's an atm in the hotel. Breakfast buffet is good.
- Victoria (8/5): Very good -
- Nur (9/5): Superb - Oeverything was excellent except the only issue was there was no TV facility No TV facility
- Abdullah (8/5): I do recommend to stay in this hotel due to its location and comfortable.. -
- Hafizullah (8/5): Very good -
- Csaba (8/5): Good 4 star hotel with very good/helpful staff, despite its a bit away from the center its good. - Very good and helpful staff, they are always happy to help. The hotel is a bit out of town, so if you need to go somewhere take a taxi. Even if you want to have dinner/lunch. The breakfast was also ok, nothing really to complain. My room was "sea view" but the sea was not visible, but I did not mind because everything else was fine and good. I probably will return.
#hotel - look after your staff, difficult to find nice colleagues. Its a bit expensive. If I could suggest something that would be at least a simple Chinese dish on the menu as this is a fully Chinese hotle. I wanted to try something original Chinese, at least a soup but not available. Its a bit out of town, but there is nothing to do about it, its ok, reliable taxi available.
- Suthaharan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ibrahim (7/5): Good -
- Rb (7/5): Work in progress but great to have a medium range option now in the city. - medium price range, generally clean and comfortable, room service, good wifi the breakfast has a bit to be desired, need better coffee, more fruit; the hot water is rarely hot and is low pressure;, the lobby smells a bit like chemicals;, the rooms don't have any coffee, tea, cream or herbal infusions (chamomile, mint, etc.).
- Priya (8/5): Great stay if they can make a few changes to cater to tourists - Breakfast was good. Having no English channels at all on TV and all instructions in Chinese. We had the suite and couldn't really use anything as didn't know how to. If the hotel is going to sell the rooms to tourists then they need to make those changes. I think most of their clientele are Chinese and corporate people. Front desk staff were amazingly helpful.
- Kevin (10/5): Date night and couple appreciation. No work just us - My room was warm but cooled off quickly. The staff was professional and courteous Room service closes early. Maybe extend a couple of hours longer
- Kevin (10/5): Great time to unwind and take a much needed respit - I love the location and proximity to other businesses. Djibouti just needs more opportunities to be given Parking spaces were a little tight. Maybe if the lines were better illuminated it would help drivers to stay between them
- Kevin (10/5): Very good and worth the money - Decent location. Very clean and a courteous & professional staff I wish I spoke chinese so I could enjoy the tv. But the picture was amazing
- Chelsea (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel was clean, room was spacious, the wifi was great for full days of video calls, and the staff thought were quite helpful. A la carte food in the restaurant was tasty. It's a short drive to/from the airport and a 15-20 minute easy walk to the Kempinsky.
- Alahwal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bugabe (9/5): Superb -
- Tze (8/5): As above - Location: good, close to rue de paris with many restaurants nearby. Walkable to the mall (if you can brave the Djibouti heat)
Hotel: new - only several years with chic design. security at gate. Used for conferences. Very clearly owned by the chinese (very apparent from the tv and associated channels to the furniture to the provided toiletries)
Staff: initially no reply regarding airport pickup via the app and had to text again so i thought service would be cold. However, staff turned out to be polite and helpful overall. of note was Khadija Hassan at the front desk who was a pleasure to talk to and very welcoming. Hotel also has a number of chinese staff which can converse in mandarin.
Room: Great - well furnished. Toilet and shower good
Wifi: contrary to other reviewers mine was fantastic with no issues at all. Air conditioning cold. Tv channels were in chinese but i din explore much. Many mirrors. Ironing board present. Enough space to put luggage. work desk available.
Food: did not try
Add: was allowed to check in earlier and check out a bit later so that was a very nice thing as well
Overall would defo recommend if stopping over As above
- Kevin (10/5): A beautiful get away - I loved the cozy atmosphere. It was a very comfortable experience I was unable to change the television to English. And there wasn’t a menu in the room for room service
- Suthaharan (8/5): Very good -
- John (10/5): New Hotel short drive from the airport. - Outstanding food. Excellent transportation to/from the airport for extra charge, but worth the ride in a cool Land Cruiser. Definitely a business hotel, but then again there is not much tourism in this country.
- Kevin (10/5): My stay allowed my anxiety to roll away - The location is nice and peaceful. The clean, neat appearance strikes me as inviting
- Kevin (10/5): Excellent relaxing evening - The location provides a beautiful view of the area at night. I wish a had a microwave to reheat my food
- Kevin (10/5): It had a beautiful decor and wonderful service - The location and the food was very good The shower door was very stiff
- Ali (7/5): Good -
- Jia (9/5): Great value in Djibouti - The hotel provides Chinese food and taste amazing. Room is nice and clean, apartment comes with washing machine, very handy for hot weather in Djibouti. Lobby is hot, and sometimes too many mosquitos
- Nahna23 (9/5): Superb - Very good and diversified menu. I enjoyed the juices and the salads.
- Giuseppe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hafizullah (7/5): Good - Cleanliness and tranquility No choice of international TV channels. Only chinese ones.
- Perna (9/5): Superb - I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern, very clean and comfortable. The fact they had a gym was great! Staff and management very kind and helpful.
- Nur (10/5): Exceptional -
