It is true that the building is run down and the elevator is frequently out of order, what is not very comfortable when you have a room at the 8.th floor or above. Neither kitchen is doing a great job nor the receptionist when they loose your reservation.
But according to me it is the best place in town when it comes to outlooks and location. In my view, that compensates for several weaknesses. Nobody can claim not to like the hotel's island as kind of side dish, for instance on Sundays when there is a lot of live music. But always, hanging round at the island, beside the river provides an amazing escape from Bangui stress.

Stay away from this place if possible. place is rundown,unsecure and pretty much dirty...I had no other choice but to stay there for 3 nights... well room on the 12th floor gave a breath taking view, however elevator did not work 90% of the time, so trips up and down a stairwell in not so attractive. restaurant food is just simply terrible, ordered a grilled chicken and got something in resemblance of chicken bones and burned skin, with some fat, tho. WiFi only worked in the hotel lobby...

Nothing spectacular to tell about this hotel and the rooms, and the food ,but they have organized a splendid and original walk along a path to a place near the river where you have a splendid view, and can actually see the Equator Province in the RDC. They offer a cold beer, but was chased me away before sunset on the pretext of security, so the evening ended in being a bit of a downer. Swimming pool is cloudy with beatles swimming in it. So pretty much very ordinary standards for the city of Bangui. Helpful people at the reception. So over all pretty much a sign of passed glory like so many places around here. Still recommend to give it a try.
