Pros 🙂:
1. The location is excellent, right on a easily located corner of Rue de 22 Novembre, on the main road close to many shops and restaurants. (Tip: if arriving by Train and walking to hotel, exit from the Central middle wing of the station as it will make the walk to Boma much easier. Tip: Recommend the Meteor Restaurant located diagonally opposite the hotel)
2. Good luggage storage facilities - we arrived earlier and the room was not yet ready, the bag storage facilities are large and have many secure coded lockers available in all sizes
3. Large Room size. There was a enclosed vestibule area that separated the closet area and bathroom from the main bedroom area. This was helpful as we had 2 large suitcases, and one person can fully use this area for 1 open bag, while the other bag can use bedroom space.
4. Excellent TV system and movie options!! - Large size TV had many up to date movies available on demand free of charge, all with 4K quality. System even had adult X movies available if that's your thing.
5. Good bathroom size including a heated towel rack.
6. The Simmons bed mattress.
Cons ☹️:
1. A terrible view for the rate we paid - placed on the second floor and the view was onto a large outdoor area that people can come and go on walking level same as the window.. rather strange...Could see multiple other rooms and their windows. On top of that, a large ventilation/heating piping shaft was right in front of our window.
2. While the Simmons Mattress was great, I found both pillow sizes not very supportive.
3. No minibar fridge in room.
4. Minor personal point - when closing the door between entry vestibule area and bedroom space, there is a tall mirror behind the door facing the bed. I suppose a mirror is needed for rooms, but personally don't like the placement - being on the bed and seeing your reflection/movement from the foot of the bed. (guess that's the Asian Feng Shui speaking up in me)
