Comfortable and
Pros:

Location is in a well secured area along the UN avenue, with multiple embassies, including American Embassy opposite the UN Complex. Breakfast was timely served with varieties and could be arranged earlier than usual time. Room is clean and comfortable.

Cons:

There was no TV cable service such as DSTv or Canal to watch football matches. However, the TV is a smart one with access to Youtube, Netflix (accessible via your personal account), etc. Also, the double bed is not large enough for 2 people that want comfort.
