We picked Maru Maru because we were a large family group and they offered transportation to and from the airport for an additional fee. In addition, the hotel was very nice, had a very good breakfast buffet and a pool that the kids enjoyed. Was very clean and we felt very safe. Our flights were before breakfast was available and they kindly prepared breakfast to go for us, which was over and above what we expected. It is located in a walkable area of the city. If I return, I won't even bother to look at other properties.

Our Air conditioner in room 5 was terrible. For room 2 there was no mosquito net for the roll away bed and my daughter was made fun of for being ‘scared’ of mosquitos. We stayed the 17-18 and 24-25 and our first stay was great. The second one, not as nice. We did feel the Christmas Cheer and that was great.

My second time staying at Maru Maru- overall it offers bang for buck with location and room size. There will be hiccups with slowness of staff- for example my laundry order was delayed but I had to call 3 times until I was finally told it was delayed. Junior level Wait staff and front desk reception need more training in international hospitality. For example a smile from a customer is often met with an expression of dread. Would I book again? Yes because I know what to expect and the rates are competitive for similar properties in the area. Bathroom size is very generous as well as windows in the room.

Lhôtel est bien placé dans la vieille ville, pas très loin de la mer et des attractions touristiques principales. La chambre était spacieuse, la literie confortable et le service impeccable. Malheureusement, elle donnait sur une cour intérieure très bruyante vers 6 H du matin lorsque les employés commençaient leur service..

Maru Maru Hotel staff were very kind and willing to help. The location of this hotel is beyond convenient; a great location if you decide the stone town tour and prison island tour. I absolutely love that you can turn on heat for your water. I only have positive things to say about my stay here. The restaurant on the rooftop was also amazing; a great selection of food and cocktails. The venue itself was gorgeous- it has a very safe and reassuring feeling.

Good location but the street is busy and noisy late into the night. Lovely roof top but dining was limited. Lighter fare for lunch would have been nice. Staff was nice, professional and helpful. Transport to and from airport was easy to arrange. WIFI was great and all over the property. At arrival, there was trash from the last customer in my trash cans, and tissues behind the side tables. Things to note: there are lots of stairs and half stairs. the power to the room is with a room key so when you leave power is off, this means no charging of phones, or AC.
