Not what it used to be
We appreciated our stay. The variety and quality of meals were good. However, the prices were somewhat over the top..$15 americano coffee and $9 croissant was shocking.
We have stayed in this hotel 4 years back but now the state of the place has degraded, paint peeling outside, garden rooms not well garnished and not even cleaned on a dialy basis.
The Kempinski Hotel Djibouti is the BEST hotel for every confort one would need. The staff are simply WONDERFUL, the food is WONDERFUL and the area is absolutely Magnificient.
If you are looking for a Wonderful place to go in Djibouti Africa that will give you the conforts of home, The Kimpinski Hotel will give you that confort.
Excellent trilingual staff, great breakfast buffet, stunning location on the turquoise sea. Pizza also excellent. Interior design a bit dark and dated.
Very good Hotel everything was going well even that my flight has been delayed for around two hours and their transport representative was waiting for me
I loved the possibility to walk along the jetty where we can enjoy the breeze and beautiful sunsets. The seafood restaurant with Yemeni specialities and the Italian restaurant were great options while the buffet was very convenient. The ability to organize excursions with the assistance of the concierge was much appreciated.
A gorgeous Arabic-influenced palace, with spa services and nice pools facing the sea, supported by friendly and attentive staff.
Overall still overpriced for what it offers. The Italian restaurant is great but the other main one was under renovation; great international tv channel selection; would have enjoyed a morning newspaper and a room service menu in the room. On the way to become a 5 star hotel for sure, but except the price, not there yet. It surely will be with time. Overall a very pleasant and memorable stay, but a notch too expensive.
