Djibouti may be one of the smallest African nations but it has a desolate beauty which emanates from its wonderfully weird landscapes. Its multitude of scenic spots and water sports options mean you’ll never be short of something to do. The breezy coastal city of Djibouti provides a welcome relief from the year-round hot and humid climate. Beaches are dotted along the eastern shore and local operators offer the chance to swim side by side with colossal whale sharks. On the border with Ethiopia you’ll find Lake Abbe – a barren landscape where three pieces of the Earth’s crust meet. This other-wordly terrain is a playground for hikers, with the dormant volcano of Mount Dama Ali on the northwest shore and vast salt flats to the south. Closer to the capital is Lake Assal which, at 157 metres below sea level, is Africa’s lowest point. For the best choice of accommodation, Djibouti city centre offers a wide selection of hotels.

Guest review
I loved everything about this hotel—the facilities, the delicious breakfast, the strategic location, the affordable price, and the lovely, friendly team at Ras Dika Hotel. They helped me arrange a 2D1N tour through one of the travel agencies in town. However, I must admit that the experience with the travel agency was not pleasant. There were some misunderstandings, and I felt as though I had fallen into a scam trap set by the agency, which was quite unfortunate.
What touched me deeply was how the team at Ras Dika Hotel went out of their way to help me and ensure my safety after learning about the incident. Their kindness made me feel at home, as if I were among friends. The people at Ras Dika are truly lovely. I can confidently say that I will 100% return to Ras Dika Hotel if I ever visit Djibouti again.
The hotel is conveniently located just outside the famous Al-Hamoudi Mosque, next to a shopping mall, and within walking distance of Djibouti's largest mall, Bawadi Mall.

Guest review
We spent the last 2 nights of our Djibouti journey at this hotel, and it was the best! We booked a sea/pool view room, which turned out to be a 1 bedroom unit. Both rooms had an AC unit, however only the bedroom had a tv. Unlike all the other accommodations that we stayed at around Djibouti, this hotel actually had warm water for a shower, and best thing of all was that they served fresh fruit at breakfast (as well as having a chef on hand to make omelettes). The daily room clean was a really nice touch that was also appreciated.
The location here was great, being on the peninsula and in amongst other hotels, embassies, and the french base. This proved to be a little removed from the 'real' Djibouti town center and all its chaos and noise, but it also made for a quiet peaceful stay. We really appreciated both the courtesy ride to the airport, and lovely staff who work at this hotel. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for quality accommodation before they head out into the wilderness that is Djibouti!!!
