Staff are great and helpful. However, when a hotel rates itself a 4-Star, service, food quality, cleanliness, shower, toilets etc should meet the requirements. Showers do not drain, toilet is smelly, mini fridge barely works.., pillows are most uncomfortable and do not meet 4-Star standard. Furthermore: safe box did not have proper easy to follow instructions… and can be easily opened by any one, just terrible. We arrived early and were told No breakfast on the first checkin day.., fair enough but some consideration would have appreciated especially that we had with us a baby 9 months old. We asked for drinking water at some stage because our 9 month old baby needed baby formula… we were told no water can be given as the daily ration is two 600mLs bottles per day. Just terrible. We were 3 guests including a child… and to have 2 towels per day is just ridiculous. Wifi is weak and slow. Finally: staff are friendly and they try to help when help is needed. We booked a hotel and not just staff help, the hotel is just terrible for the price. I definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone and would surely not want to stay there ever again. Showers leak, the spa also leaks and does not even work … toilet papers - there was hardly any… just one toilet paper for 3 guests … was just ridiculous… pillows are of poor quality … food quality and food variety was just poor… please remedy all the problems. Hotel staff were always friendly and helpful.

The hotel offers a comfortable and inviting stay, with beautiful furniture and a well-designed bathroom that add to its charm. While the rooms are already appealing, they could benefit from some regular preventative maintenance to maintain their top-notch quality. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious, making for a delightful experience.

Dining experience was not that great. The order of food came quick but for over an hour no one came to ask. I had to find waitress even to order more drinks and ask for the bill. In the bathroom, no floor mat or hand towels provided.

I had a great stay at the Friendship International Hotel. Great, friendly, and very helpful staff, first class services, an amazing room with everything, all for a very read price. Very appealing and clean hotel with great art work. Only five minutes from the airport by shuttle in a beautiful and modern part of town. Will gladly stay here again on my next visit. JN

Nice hotel but could improve

I've stayed here at least 4 times in recent years. The staff is always friendly. The breakfast is outstanding. The wifi simply didn't work in the lobby or room, even after asking assistance, it still would not work. The bed is not comfortable but he area is nice and staff always helpful.
