My arrival experience: Warm and fast check-in before being escorted to the room.
What I loved: To find this level of comfort in a country like Chad.
What about the food: A surprisingly good breakfast buffet. I especially liked the exotic juices and fresh fruits.
What about the service: Going to Central Africa, you can't really expect Western standards, but the hotel does a good job. The local staff are friendly and especially Hassan impressed me with his fast replies to my e-mails. The hotel missed my pick-up from the airport so I hitchhiked and had an adventure.
What about the rooms: Comfortable rooms with beautiful views of the city. Working desk, flat screen Tv and complimentary internet makes it ideal for the business traveller. The bathroom had combined shower and bathtub.
