I loved the possibility to walk along the jetty where we can enjoy the breeze and beautiful sunsets. The seafood restaurant with Yemeni specialities and the Italian restaurant were great options while the buffet was very convenient. The ability to organize excursions with the assistance of the concierge was much appreciated.

Would never stay here again. Over charged me for no reason for everything

The wash sink and shower clogged up several times.

A gorgeous Arabic-influenced palace, with spa services and nice pools facing the sea, supported by friendly and attentive staff. Overall still overpriced for what it offers. The Italian restaurant is great but the other main one was under renovation; great international tv channel selection; would have enjoyed a morning newspaper and a room service menu in the room. On the way to become a 5 star hotel for sure, but except the price, not there yet. It surely will be with time. Overall a very pleasant and memorable stay, but a notch too expensive.

The property has quite a few amenities that are easy to access and enjoy. However to enjoy them all it maybe a little too expensive.

See view it was great as well food condition also was amazing

The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and wonderfully trained to anticipate your needs. I travel often and this is one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. Definitely coming back soon. Thumbs up to Harid daytime front desk attended and Kaslias "nightshift front desk attended.

A very good hotel - although the price (as everything in Djibouti) is ridiculous. The hotel didn't arrange a pick-up from the airport, even though I had requested - and despite their being Kempinski cars, they refused to take me - but other than that, the stay was great. Very comfortable bed, in a well furnished and clean room. Food quality was very good - and staff were very friendly. (Although the expectation that you tip high for everything is annoying) The only thing I'd say - is that in a country with plastic waste everywhere, Kempinski really should be doing more. Plastic straws, plastic stirrers, plastic in the bathroom - it's nearly 2020 and you're using 2000 ideas. A few healthier menu options, without meat would be nice too.

Secure, clean, nice pool & bar. Nicely appointed rooms. Comfortable bed. Excellent even for western standards.

Absolutely filthy property considering this is not a cheap hotel. Crows and bird poop everywhere. The lawn by the pool was brown and covered with trash (as was the private beach). Unacceptable given the price to stay there. On the bright side, the service and hotel staff--especially the managers--were super nice. The food onsite was pricey but very good.

Wow, They treated us so well! We loved the day trip to Lac Assal; just the right combination of a little adventure with a chance to see the lowest spot in Africa which is stunningly beautiful. We stayed two nights should have stayed three. Definitely enjoy the Yemeni bread and fish at the Bankoule restaurant right on the beach in the hotel. Absolutely fabulous.

Charging $52 each way for an airport transfer is a rip off. The check in policy is also geared to people on expenses who dont care about cost. On the surface this hotel looks good. Scratch under the surface however and everything is substantially overpriced.

Amazing beds, literally like lying on a cloud! The food was okay, not great especially the Italian restaurant. Great breakfast though and the pool overlooks the ocean. Everything is expensive in Djibouti, but this is worth the best money for value in Djibouti.

It is obvious that the hotel was something special however, it has clear signs of decline.

Beautiul hotel with excellent service but definitely pricey.

Nice hotel, great location by beach, good restaurants and fantastic service. Really enjoyed my time there - relaxing by the pool. Concierge Thiam can arrange anything - really helpful. Not cheap, either rooms or food, but worth it.

It is jus a wunderful location in DjiboutiShurly the best Place tü stay

Yes the hotel and everything in it are overpriced and out of place. But whatever your reason is for being in this country, the odds are so are you.

This is the third time I stay in this hotel. this time I spent 3 nights. The hotel is by far the only decent hotel in Djibouti; however, it is rediculously expensive. they also dont have early check-in and I arrived at 8 am in the morning after I had been travelling on boat throughout the night. The receptionist was unable to accomodate me, and had the audacity to tell me that I would pay an extra night if she checked me now. I had to wait untill 1 pm before my room was ready to be able to check in. I endured this treatment although I am a member of the Kempinski discovery club, and should have received priority ! the amenities and facilities of the hotel are very good, but the staff are very slow in responding to your requests. waiters are terribly slow, specifically at the Spa pool area. I had to wait for 30 minutes to receive a beer. I also ordered my food and took a long nap before the food arrived !! i have decided not to use this hotel again, this is a very expensive hotel that over charges for everything.
