Stayed one night at the hotel. Pool clean and air conditioning worked well. Minor fit/finish issues but normal for the area. Lots of street vendors/beggars outside hotel. The security guard tried to give me a counterfeit $5 bill.

The Splendid is a functional hotel located in the city center. Rooms are clean, A/C works, great water pressure. A little dated, carpet is worn, but it is quite satisfactory. The restaurant is adequate but there is a very nice coffee shop/cafe across the street (Le Cappuccino) which serves light meals and coffee as well as ice cream and pastries.... More

Located 5 minutes by car from the airport, this hotel is very close to the EU Delegation premises. It is a reasonably clean place. The air-conditioning was functioning properly. The furniture was slightly old and falling apart. The swimming pool was fine. I did not taste the breakfast as an Italian place just opposite to the hotel is a serious... More

Great location, really close to the airport. The rooms were air-conditioned and comfortable. Build quality wasn't the greatest, with a few cracked tiles. There was a fridge in the room. Staff were very friendly and helpful - currency exchange was at a good rate too. Breakfast was mediocre - there was a choice, but none of it was particularly appetising.... More

The room felt like being in a prison and several things (lights, ...) were not working. No, I did not like it and switched after 1 night. The hotel staff charged too much, and a discussion was needed to come to the correct price. Hotel Yibi just opposite the street offers much more value for less money. I think its... More

This is a large, bland “assembly line” hotel that caters to small meetings, business travellers, researchers and some aid workers, etc. All works fairly well, all is clean, nothing is memorable. They have two buildings – the 1 and 2 – and good rooms are either the inside top floor rooms of the Splendide 1 or rooms in the Splendide... More

Little charm , no wifi in rooms for business travelers--lobby is loaded with business folks with laptops on their laps, trying to work. Outside await persistent vulture "tour guides" and foot peddlers who literally chase one down the street. Fixtures in bathroom literally falling apart, with little repair effort made.

I stayed at the Splendid twice in 2009 and with great reluctance on the second go, but I was ultimately won over by its location. Close to most offices and government buildings, it is very handy to avoid traffic and to be able to walk to meetings, and is less than 5minutes away from the airport. However, the staff is... More
