Acceptable except for the pool
Pros:

More of a business hotel than tourist hotel. The best way to describe it is a hospital. Stark white with hard surfaces. Only a couple of rooms were occupied. Located inside the neighborhood and walkable to the bustling mall. Staff are friendly, the ladies at the front counter were cute. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The big disappointment was the pool. Thick algae was growing on the sides and clumps of swirling material on the bottom. Watched them “clean” it one day, didn’t make a difference. I actually swam in it and survived.
It’s a difficult decision on where to stay in Dili. Not sure I would stay at any of the other choices in this price range either. If you don’t mind the pool or it improves then I would recommend it.

Majestic old hotel, with first class staff and service.
Pros:

Staff were amazing. Very helpful with directions, advice and pick up and drop off were both free of charge. Fatima, Luiza and Natalia on the front desk were every day very helpful and cheerful. Breakfast was good. Swimming pool was good for laps. Location was easy access from airport and to down town.

Cons:

There was not many people staying there.

An attractive and peaceful hotel with friendly staff and good access to all parts of Dili.
Pros:

The hotel is just a 1 minute walk from Dili's main east-west thoroughfare but feels fairly quiet and peaceful. The swimming pool, in a well-kept garden-courtyard overlooked by the whitewashed neo-colonial architecture, is very pleasant. There were very few guests when I was there, so I had the pool to myself! Breakfast alternated between a small buffet and à la carte selection, depending on the number of guests; in either case it was satisfactory, with fruit and salad in addition to the traditional breakfast dishes. The room was spacious, with plentiful drawers, wardrobe and cupboard space. Staff were very helpful and helped me book a tour with 4WD to Mount Ramelau.

Cons:

The safety box was not working. The price seems high compared to hotels of similar quality in neighbouring Indonesia; but compared to most countries it's probably still good value.

Comfortable , visually impressive hotel in isolated location
Pros:

Very comfortable room. Quite impressive foyer. Big pool. Restaurant had good range of cuisines. Supermarket close. Pick up from airport and to ferry terminal provided free of charge. Staff very lovely, helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Almost empty- we felt like only guests- a bit creepy. The pool was welcome but green algae on tiles around edges showed need for pool to be cleaned. Needed taxis because quite a long way from CBD No where else to eat within close proximity so we ate at hotel restaurant for our 4 nights
