Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Advantages: The hotel is reasonably central and offers free transfer to and from the airport in a minibus. It has free WIFI in the lobby and there is an electric generator powering the lobby during the power rationing cuts in the evening. It seems to be fairly secure. Its possible to change money at a good rate and they sell SIM cards and recharge vouchers. M. Levy is a pleasant host and frequently checks if the guests are happy
Disadvantages: The rooms are small and not so clean. The swimming pool wasnt working. The restaurant has an extensive menu, but only fried chicken and rice seemed to be available, although one day they had chips too
Summary: By European standards it would be considered expensive and dirty. However by CAR standards it is quite good value.

I spent almost 2 months in this hotel. By the road so it noisy sometimes (day and night), but sometimes I need the noisiness it reminded me that I was not alone there. I remember I enjoyed my long wake up sleep every Sunday and just relaxed. They clean the room every day. Again, with conditions Bangui is facing there nothing I want to really comment. Only I found missing food several times, and found my sponge got wet though I did not use it in the morning. I hope they didn't use it to clean the shower room. But for safe sake, I put all in my luggage and locked except my sleeping dress hanging there. Lots of flies in the restaurant. Sometimes I felt they exhanged the bed sheet, I wonder how my bed sheet got smelling smoke.. :( Oh yes they have mosquito net in the room. And TV only shows french speaking..oh well look at the bright sight maybe I could learn very little bit of..où êtes-vous maintenant?? I loved my room there though, at the 2nd floor I forgot the number. Just below the restaurant I think and with view to the road. The restaurant can serve good grilled fish and it took forever..

I stayed here for 6 days.I chose the hotel because of the price ( 22,500 CFA franc/night) and the location (just few minutes away from the UN HQ. For those who are coming for the first time and will be staying a bit longer than a month, finding a decent and safe accommodation around Bangui is a tough job. Not much better options are available unless you are willing to pay up to $170 a night. Levy's Hotel is one of the cheap but acceptable places available for temporary accommodation. Although you have to lower your expectations in order not to get stressed (pretty much applicable to almost everything here in CAR). The hotel itself needs major refurbishment. Rooms are very basic. I have to change room twice because it's either lights are not working both in the toilet or the rooms itself, AC is crazy and noisy in the night (they will turn on ACs around 11:30pm to 12 midnight because of power shortage) or window screens are torn so mosquitos are everywhere in the room. The good thing about it was the staff are friendly (they don't usually speak English but the will try their best to make you comfortable.)

I spent one week there. This a good and cheap hotel, well located. The weak point is the condition of the rooms. I stayed in the building located at the backyard, and I do think the rooms would deserve to be a bit refurbished, starting with the painting. But, this is still acceptable. There is also a really good terrace/restaurant. I had a good time there.

Pretty rundown place No full time power No WiFi in rooms No lift Food not great Bangui is a dangerous place to walk around Do not walk through the market as they will mug you Do not use motorcycle taxis as they might take you through the market unnecessarily so you can be mugged They tried this with me but I escaped without loss This hotel is not worth the price Pay a little more for other one

what are you looking for? just spend the night: correct. the price is right: 25,000 CFA, about 38 euros a night. Correct room, clean, but neglected, with old television, with bathroom but without aigua on the upper floors, it seems that the pressure does not reach the second floor (you are warned). I complained and they took me to the first aplanta and there was water and also almost hot. The hotel is old, the service is not used to tourists, but they are not bad people. The food in the restaurant the best of the place and the excellent hotel sitación, in the main avenue of Bangui. You can walk freely in total tranquility through the city without any problems.

This is actually a very good hotel, you have to remember how much you pay and the location. You pay far less than other places and you have free wifi in the lobby 24/7 (expect for the power cuts but then the generator kicks in) so they are usualy just couple of minutes. You get a secure and very friendly place and usualy you are just there to sleep. And make sure to have a chat with the Owner mr Levy, a very friendly man. I did not expect a 5 star place so everything is relative and you have to put that in perspective, but if i come back to Bangui i will come back and stay here. The staff are friendly and the room very basic but you save alot money.

The rooms are too basic and lights and amenities do not always work. However, the staff is friendly and the location is convenient enough. You can walk downtown and yet not right at the heart which is too crowded with police and soldiers. Moderate value given the high cost of everything in Bangui.

Yes, this hotel is not the cleanest and they suffer from power outings. But this is Bangui, spend double the money and you might get marginal improvement. So for Bangui this is a mid-range place where you can certainly stay without too much misery. Also stayed in the Hotel du Centre but really the improvement is marginal for the extra money. Rooms on the first floor are supposedly better, the rooms have hordes of mosquitos so make sure to get a complimentary bednet for your room. Figure out when water and electricity is functioning as Bangui has both in short supply, that way adjust your schedule (showers, etc). The place has a pleasant enough porch/restaurant for a snack or beer. On the plus side: very conveniently situated near main roads and next to the European Commission HQ so presumably safe..

The hotel is a budget hotel. The hygiene is very poor because of the old furniture and poor maintenance. Bad smell persist in the rooms. Some rooms do not have a door at the bathroom. The generator is too noisy.

"Choose the lower floors, you'll get at least water in your showerheads. you'll find buckets in upper floors which indicates that you have to fetch water from your faucet and fill your bucket. Choose also rooms near the stairs. You'll get a better wi-fi connections there."
"just go for the basic room, the better rooms have warm water but this place is so hot so you wont ever use the hot water because you want to cool down."
