"The main problem was that the property is not situated in that bustling area as showed on the map. Consequently, I had to take an extra taxi and make extra costs to find out that guest house is in poor residential area near the Somalian embassy."

Hotel Lobelia

Hotel Lobelia

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is "home from home" which is due to the very friendly and very helpful staff who are customer focused. The whole hotel staff team are exceptional in particular Rekik at reception who always collaborated with me in teasing family and friends visiting me at the hotel and Shetaye serving Secial tea & St George beer in the bar where I engaged in good conversation. It is easily accessible from the airport and the breakfast is always excellent."
