I was in Room 509. It has a big bed, TV, desk and chair, small fridge (no minibar), closet, full-length mirror, luggage rack and in-room safe. There are no coffee-making facilities in the room. The bathroom has a shower (no bath), a large mirror and a makeup mirror. There was no hair dryer in the room, so I used my own.
This is a really nice hotel. It is nicely furnished. The lobby, restaurant and other common areas are very stylish. One annoying thing: there is a little step up when entering the elevator. I almost tripped over it the first time. Goodness only knows who thought this was a good design.
The restaurant here is very good. We ate here two nights and were impressed with the food and service.
The staff here are very nice and very helpful, including organizing the hotel shuttle to give us a ride to and picking us up from a restaurant we went to eat at one night.
You can pay when you arrive or wire money in advance (for a discounted per night fee). I originally went with the ‘‘pay on arrival’’ option, but just over a week before the trip - when I was more confident that my African airlines would not have a schedule change! - I arranged to wire the money and paid the discounted rate.
I highly recommend Mikhael’s if you’re staying in Brazzaville.
