Staying at Esplanada really felt like a home away from home. The rooms are clean, a good size, with comfy beds and nice décor. There’s a pool, internet, and it is easy to get wherever you need in and around Dili. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. I was in Timor Leste for work and was there on my own... More

My Husband and I stayed at Esplanada for 10 days and loved it. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and we found the service terrific. I believe the rooms were renovated recently and they are clean, very comfortable and well appointed. Our room was flooded by light during the day due to the large windows, and there was a... More

A great place to put your feet up and relax. The rooms are clean, large, with good showering facilities which was well needed after travelling around. The pool was very much welcomed, and we did not need to go anywhere else as the food, facilities and lounge were all encompassing. The owner and staff attended helpfully to our needs and... More

If you are looking for a laid back atmosphere and a great view then the Esplanada is the place. On Beach Road, it is probably as cool as it gets in Dili. The rooms are very clean, with quiet air-con, and pool is great. The room safes are a real bonus. Ash, who runs the hotel, made us feel welcome.... More

A little gem of a hotel that is well-located on the Dili waterfront. It offers very nice large, clean rooms with big, comfortable double beds, air-con, fan, personal safe, daily bottled water, TV, and good bathrooms with hot water (although hardly needed considering Timor's tropical climate!). The rooms are arranged around a central courtyard which has a wonderful salt water... More

OMG I love this place. When in Dili do yourself a favour and check into the Esplanada Hotel. Run by an expat Australian (Ash) the Esplanada has that perfect mix between a vibrant social scene and a relaxing setting for casual meetings, finishing reports or just kicking back and watching the world pass you by. Ash was always on hand... More
