i used to stay in the hotel in 2005-8, and now visited it again after some time (and a renovation + opening of a new building.
the new building was the one I stayed, and it is impressively clean, modern in equipment and even with some real design-like efforts. wifi did not work frequently (a problem i experienced several times ago already), but there is a LAN in each room, and that works well.
breakfasts are modest, but not bad, and the expats are herding in the bar like they did before.
the pool on front of the is just a tiny washbowl, good for nothing even in summer - no change in this either. do not count on much gym or whatever - this is the weakpoint of betsy's... togehter with rather distant location (whch means: you walk a lot or use taxi to find a good restaurant downtown; and walk to the hotel in the nights is not recommended especially for ladies, but in general for anyone), which is outweighetd by the excellent view over the city.
Room Tip: ask for hose overlooking the city, and in the new building.
