Blue Tree Premium Verbo Divino

The restaurant is very good, and there are also great places to eat nearby. It's a conveniently located hotel. Some rooms have been updated while others are old, and the TVs are new. The air conditioner can be noisy at times.

The staff were all amazing, and Noah’s Bôbô de mushrooms and plantains was an excellent choice. Today's version had hearts of palm and bananas, which surprised me with how delicious it was. I asked the waiter to pass along my thanks for the food. My one issue was that the toilet hadn't been flushed when I arrived in the room, which is why I gave it 3 stars.

I ran a class here for a client and stayed twice over the past month. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I managed fine in English. Breakfast is a good buffet with plenty of choices; after two weeks I still wasn't tired of it. On the eighth floor, there's also a VIP area with coffee, tea, and water all day and night, plus a smaller breakfast selection in the morning. It's a nice, friendly hotel. Just set expectations if you're used to international road warrior travel: it isn't a Marriott or a concierge lounge.

The beds were very comfortable, though the sleeping rooms smelled musty. Otherwise, it's a nice hotel, the staff are friendly, and the front desk speaks fluent English. International guests should know there's no iron to use in the room. You have to use the hotel's dry cleaning or pressing service, and that service isn't available on Sundays.
