Djibouti Hotels | Places to Stay in Djibouti

August 11, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

Nestled on the southern tip of the Gulf of Tadjoura, the seaside capital of Djibouti is a modest harbor town and a major port of trade and travel via Ethiopia and other points in Africa, especially as the terminus for the Djibouti-Addis Ababa Railway. Beaches along the eastern shore provide some respite from the blistering heat, while the chaotic central market is alive with activity throughout the day.

Tired and Dated Venue

Reviewed By BANJAX64

This hotel is tired and in need of modernising if it is to maintain what is left of its rapidly fading reputation as a quality place to stay. The staff although polite and hard working need to be brought up to an improved service standard that is in keeping with the 4 stars of a Sheraton Hotel, especially the service staff working in the restaurant. Little things matter and there needs to be more attention to detail, such as have the correct cutlery laid for meals (this includes spoons) and do not set bent out of shape knives. The restaurant Manager needs to ensure guests are provided a menu on entering the restaurant and not just steered to the buffet which is expensive. The AC of the hotel failed in the late afternoon of one day; the reception, communal spaces and rooms becoming like hot ovens through the evening and into the following morning making staying in the building a sweaty misery with no respite. The outside areas and grounds need to be improved to brighten the place and make it more attractive. The 4 star desert hotels of other countries can do this so why not Sheraton Djibouti? To summarise - A perfectly situated hotel riding on past glories. Much improvement required to save a fading reputation if it is to survive in the 21st century.

Not happy!

Reviewed By Dan P

On the good side: Large room, AC worked, WiFI worked On the bad side: Bathroom left to be desired as cleanliness. Also, no hot water, just balmy; Stay away from restaurant! Food is badly cooked, expensive, takes forever. You have 100 m away, right at the next corner the restaurant La chaumiere...exelent food. Breakfast is possible but not very good...a lot of leftovers. Don't pay the whole stay at the beginning. I had to leave a day early and even if I gave them the notice in good time they didn't give me back the money for the last day...

The hotel, the rooms, the staff the view and the food.... best experience ever. I recommend this place for friends, couples, family and solo travel. Don't forget to bring your swimming suit and sun screen. The Italian restaurant is one of the best, the club in the top floor has whatever you want

Very Helpful Staff

Reviewed By CX239238

Best part is the staff Sophia and Mohamed assisted me greatly. This is an apartment hotel, does provide towels but not soap, when I asked about this they went to the store and bought soap for me. They maybe changing to provide soap for short stay guests. Location is very close to the airport, on my last day my guide was late to drop me at the airport, so Sophia offered to drive me herself. Rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. They do have rooms with balconies and without so check which type you want. Hotel has been open 3 months so all fittings are new. Same time if anything is out of place let the staff know and they will try to fix it. There is no restaurant in the hotel, you do have two cooker rings and utensils to cook. Staff can order for you on Kiki delivery app. Le Mer Rouge restaurant is walking distance. There are no major stores near by but several small stores to buy water, coffee, etc.

Les Acacias Hotel Djibouti

Les Acacias Hotel is ideal for business and leisure providing a private sanctuary and safe haven in the heart of Djibouti, located in Lotissement Heron on a small private beach overlooking the warm turquoise sea waters, within walking distance to the Djibouti Palace. The hotel is well connected to the international Djibouti Airport as well as the Djibouti Port and the commercial centre, which are located a 10 minute drive away.

Friendly staff, nice setting and location

We spent 6 days in Acacias and the highlights were definitely the courtesy of the staff and the pleasant premises of the hotel. Nice swimming pool, refined art decoration, pleasant sea view on the deck in ongoing construction. Thanks to all staff for the kindness and hospitality.

mediocre

Reviewed By African0

Sono appena stato in questo hotel di recente costruzione. La struttura e all'interno di un palazzo ed occupa dal 4 all'8 piano. La sicurezza non è eccezionale in quanto all'ingresso chiunque può salire in ascensore fino alle camere. Un po squallida la hall Carente la colazione, con cibi locali, poco internazionale. Assenza di alcol Igiene in cucina appearentemente carente. Frutta tagliata riproposta e al limite della decenza. Viaggio continuamente in Africa ma qui mi sono preso un mal di stomaco per probabili batteri nei cibi. Erano anni che non mi succedeva Personale poco competente

Auberge Boulaos

WARNING! Please be careful!

Reviewed By stefaneA9426TD

According to my reservation, I spent six nights at Auberge Boulaos. And - unfortunately - this was the worst experience ever. From the beginning, the receptionists kept asking for a higher amount than listed on my reservation. Instead of 45 USD per night, they asked for 63 USD per night. After a phone call with their supervisor, they were willing to reduce the room rate to 55 USD per night - i.e. 330 USD instead of 270 USD for the entire stay of six nights. They explained that their prices had been modified two days before. If you look at other travellers’ reviews, however, you’ll realize that this was a lie. I found three reviews which referred to the same problem. The following days, the receptionists have been quite rude. Even though I had paid the total amount of 270 USD, they kept asking for an additional fee of 60 USD. Several times, they switched off the AC so that I had to come down to the reception, where the same topic came up again and again. In order to avoid a negative review and to get some additional money, they even claimed that I didn’t show up. They cancelled my reservation and asked for a compensation. In the end, they didn’t allow me to leave the hotel. When I tried to get to the main road (about 400 meters away) in order to find a taxi, three staff members followed me. One of them started holding and pushing me!!! He tried to take my suitcase! I called for help when I reached the nearby shopping center. A policeman came out in order to protect me. I showed him my reservation and the bill of 270 USD. He called a taxi so that I managed to escape from the hotel. I hope no other traveller will have to make a similar experience at Auberge Boulaos in future.

Im Notfall für eine Nacht

Reviewed By michlmichl

Dieses B&B ist keine bestimmte Location sondern eine Plattform, die an verschiedenen Standorten Zimmer vermietet. Dadurch gibt es am Standort keine Betreuung - es muss alles telefonisch geregelt werden. Leider auch noch keine Website. Die Adresse Salines Ouest ist ein Quartier, die Strassen haben keine Namen. Taxifahrer finden es nicht. Das Unternehmen bietet aber einen Shuttle von und zum Flughafen. Vorher anrufen. Angetroffene Situation in einer solchen «Ferienwohnung» : Einfachste Unterkunft - Unternullstern - kein TV - kein Wifi - keine AC - kein heisses Wasser - kein Frühstück - Zimmer mit/ohne Bad - miserable Gegend - Management nicht im Haus - keine Reception - Personal, wenn man mal welches sieht, ist aber sehr dienstfertig - Preis von 45$ ist sehr hoch für die erhaltene Leistung - aber in Djibuti ist leider alles sehr teuer. Das Quartier ist sehr ruhig aber abends etwas unheimlich. Es hat aber stets gutgesinnte Leute ums Haus und am Eingang (sozusagen Eintrittskontrolle) die zu einem schauen. Sie organsieren einem alles! Achtung im Taxi: Normaltaxe innerhalb der City ist 500 DFR (2.50€), wenn die Fahrt voraussichtlich länger ist als 5 km, Preis unbedingt vorher aushandeln.
