Les Acacias Hotel Djibouti

Great experience

The photos of this hotel are deceiving. In reality, this hotel is tatty, decrepit, and badly managed. In contrast to the other hotels I've stayed in in Djibouti, I was made to pay my entire bill upon arrival. While a few staff members are friendly, many are surly and incompetent. The rugs and furniture are old, stained, and patched. The cable/TV was often on the blink, and there was no hot water ever in the shower. The food in the restaurant is hit or miss. The croque-monsieur I ordered contained beef and ketchup for some unknown reason. Clients who care about their lung health are advised to give this place a miss since the management insists on burning massive amounts of incense throughout the day in a bid to mask other odors (mold?). Never again.

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.

Court séjour mais très agréable après le flop de l’autre hôtel nous étions mille fois mieux ! Service très agréable personnel se démène pour rendre service Décoration de goût Chambre spacieuse et propre Salle de bain immense bien La piscine est ombragée donc fonctionnelle vu la chaleur à Djibouti c’est appréciable Bon petit déjeuner compris dans le prix de la chambre Seul bémol serait la lenteur du service au bord de la piscine et encore !!
