The Hotel Mikhaels is one of the best hotels in Brazzaville. It is just a few minutes by taxi from the airport (tip: the locals pay 2,000 CFA one way) and very close to the Congo River. There are a whole range of shops (including chargers), restaurants, pharmacies (with mosquito spray) and cafes in the area. The French and German embassies are also just a stone's throw away. In the hotel itself you receive a very warm welcome. A highly professional reception staff takes very good care of you from the very beginning - they are really great. About half of the hotel staff speak English, in addition to the obligatory French. The hotel itself is bright, open and friendly. Practically all rooms are pleasantly air-conditioned and spacious. In the lobby on the ground floor and in the bar on the first floor you can find all kinds of African art. The gallery with contemporary pictures on the ground floor rounds it off. Really great! The food is good, as is the breakfast. There are lots of hot and cold dishes, fruits, juices, hot drinks and even an egg station with a really good omelette. If you like something a little more exclusive, you can go twenty meters around the corner to the in-house patisserie with fantastic little cakes. The main menu of the restaurant includes the calamari sautee and the kebab skewers. The bar on the first floor is particularly busy at weekends. You can chill around the pool and enjoy a cold beer or good cocktails. The service is more geared towards slow food and slow drinking. The rooms themselves are spacious, well air-conditioned, clean, quiet and there are rarely mosquitoes. You can sleep comfortably in the large bed. The room itself has a TV, a safe and a minibar. You don't need much more than that. I was allowed to have several rooms (203, 209, 405) and they were all great. There is a Société Generale ATM on the ground floor. In the hotel itself you can also pay with Visa. If you need a taxi, the attentive security will help you. Due to the logistics on site, I extended my room stay several times, day by day. This was no problem, as was storing my luggage. Thank you! All in all, a really good hotel and highly recommended!
