SOMALIA HOTELS
Information about Somalia Hotels
Safahi Hotel
Sahafi Hotel. One of the best hotels in Mogadishu. The Manager is very helpful, the staff is attentive, and the food is good. Although the compound is probably your safest bet (if there is such a thing) in Mogadishu, a BBC producer was shot in the back and killed in front of the hotel in 2005.
Hotel Nasa-Hablod
Hotel Nasa-Hablod Km 4, (2 Km from International Airport), eno10@hotmail.com. Restricted access, meeting rooms, safe, TV, internet access, a/c.
