Four of my five breakfasts I ate alone, but on the last morning I had the fascinating company of a Sudanese guest who attended a meeting at the UN compound. The location was perfect for me, as it was 8 minutes walking from a CrossFit gym where I could train early in the morning - same place where one can buy handcraft and eat or drink throughout the day, and 15 minutes walking from the UN compound, where I was attending a workshop. On the last day I could check out in the morning before going to my meeting, and leave my bag in the reception until I could pick it up in the afternoon, which was convenient. ##### Fernando Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor 15 Nov 2024 ##### Taylor Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Frederick 3 Jan 2024 ##### Frederick Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik 9 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Erik Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Frederick 7 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were helpful and very courteous. ##### Frederick Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Travis 6 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Very quiet A nice old mansion, very quiet.

Just in front of the reception, the restaurant and the hotel entrance door, the room's door has no noise insulation, making every conversation between the hotel personnel and guests sound like inside the room. When guests start making breakfast and checking out at 6am in the morning, it's impossible to sleep. The cherry on the cake? The room's door has a glass that cannot be shaded or covered, making it possible for people on the stairway in from of the room to look directly into the room (over the bed!). More: lapidated bathroom with a tiny sink and no mirror--the sliding door had no handle on the inside making it impossible to close. Mattress very uncomfortable. No hotel sign from the road whatsoever, not even on the doorbell, the guard on duty was not present when we come and we had to call the property to be sure to be at the right address. I truly hope that the other rooms are better (the villa is really nice) but a normal hotel cannot have guests play Russian roulette on room selection! ![Tiny sink in a corner, with no mirror](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F4F475FDC3CB3E68517376A9BE43DF3CF1B698E1626645547347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No handle on bathroom's door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F70C915CF1BF6276466BC31B33B032D550C58F551626645546578.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No handle on bathroom's door](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC8F0350EED8095E65B462AE5A52F5ABB0FFC2141626645544750.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom's door from the outside](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BF7A547EAE9530608190FCB5A624C57BC8209EC11626645547448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was fine only the tv had no signal.
