Hotel Safari

Accommodating and kind reception desk and friendly staff who speak English. Swimming pool, covered outdoor dining area, basic breakfast included (unfortunately juice and coffee are extra at about $3/day) and there’s an airport shuttle on request. There’s 2 factors behind my 3/5 rating: First, the hotel literally ran out of water in the middle of my stay. They had to wait for their tanks to be refilled by a water delivery company. Didn’t anyone keep an eye on the meter? Pretty inexcusable. At least they rebated me 50% of that night’s rate. 2. Payments are in CASH ONLY. I had to scramble for USD mid-trip when I learned this. They failed to mention it until I emailed a few days prior to my arrival to reconfirm my room.

I used the gym at this hotel whilst staying in Hargeisa and it's very good. The equipment is good, the staff are helpful and friendly. It can get very busy at peak times. I would recommend going there between 11am to 1pm, when it's not very busy.
