Convenience of check in check out.
Good aircon comfortable bed and a hot shower so all the things I look for.

Dili is easy to get around and there is plenty to see particularly if you are interested in East Timor's recent history, you can see where tragic events in the liberation struggle happened and the museums are well presented.
There are excellent beaches, good places to eat with local food at reasonable prices.
Try to get to the moonlight cinema on Friday night-you can sit by the beach and have a meal while watching a film.

Fantastic .I had a great time.
Fantastic .I had a great time. Could have stayed much longer and checked out more places and looked around more. The history of this place is off the scale and at times very confronting. The people were very friendly to us and surprised to see us travelling on the microlets.Which the easiest and best way to get around the city. Otherwise you pay a fortune in taxis. As an Australian the exchange rate at the time was woeful .Was a bit expensive as all in US dollars.

Make sure you take enough cash in $US, it’s very hard to find a place that takes credit cards (and if so it’s VISA only) and there don’t seem to be any foreign exchange places. Global roaming doesn’t work either.

Stayed for 4 days and 3 nights over Easter 2023.
Stayed for 4 days and 3 nights over Easter 2023. It was a great place to wind down - walked up to the Cristo Rei statue, all of 570 steps, well worth it. Visited the Santa Cruz Cemetery - sadly not much signage about the massacre in 1991 - however can read up on the internet before going there. Went to Areia Beach, beautiful soft, clean white sand - suitable for swimming. Also visited the Timor Plaza Shopping Centre to buy a simcard and phone credit to call the blue taxi as required. Stayed at the Plaza Hotel (not the one at the Shopping Centre, there is one closer to the seaside). Accommodation was safe, clean and comfortable with a Chinese restaurant adjoining the accommodation - meal times are very flexible. Loved the lush tropical vegetation and the mountains and sea, stunning scenery. It's easy to see that Dili is still developing, great improvements in infrastructure, services and business will no doubt forge ahead in the future. I would recommend Dili for solo travellers, safe to walk around in the day time.

Dili is a fantastic get away from Darwin.
Dili is a fantastic get away from Darwin. For food buffers that are many restaurants offering culturally diverse dishes such as Timorese, Chinese, Portuguese etc. I particularly, enjoy the beachside restaurants along Areia Branco, towards Cristo Rei area for breakfast or lunch and happy hour on Friday nights at Timor Plaza. If you're there over a weekend, try a day trip over to Atauro Island and for longer stays, a trip to climb Mt Ramelau or to Jaco Island to see endangered species of turtles.

Dili is a beautiful coastal city, for those who loves religious spots you will find many fabulous spots here. For examples, Cristo Rei, the second world biggest Christ statue after Brazil. When visiting Cristo Rei, you need to prepare yourself for trekking the stairs, there will be around 850s steps to conquer, and you need to pace them constantly. Hmm, Once you reach the top, your sweat will get rewards. The view is fabulous! Have a try :)
The Excelsior must have been a great hotel in its time, but after 2 years of covid, its battling: the breakfast is good, otherwise they are efficient at room service. But i missed a sitting room where one can have a drink for example. Also, for us as private tourists, we found that its a little too far from the cbd and main attractions of Dili. Otherwise the Excelsior is good value for money, and the staff is very helpfull.
Everything was perfect, the staff very welcoming and always eager to help, the inner garden was very relaxing and very quiet, there is no noise from the street at all. You can tell the place has been decorated with style, with wooden furniture and a beautiful garden. The location is also very central. I recommend this place 100% to stay in Dili
The property in is a quiet street not far from Timor Plaza next to a school it’s also on Microlet route 9. Making it a convenient location not too far from the city and also near the airport. Property id always nice and clean. Host can provide travel information and explain public transport system. Breakfast is also included!! Great value
This hotel isn't built like a modern western hotel, which is fine with me, though it had all the expected amenities, resources, and professionalism. My room was great and the staff were very kind and helpful. The internet was slugging but that seemed true everywhere, so, it is no slight of the hotel's. I'd stay here again.
The build quality, amenities, large tv screen and Netflix, separate bathrooms, back up generator, comfortable beds and bedding, air-conditioners and fans, ventilation vents, cleanliness and full stock of condiments in the kitchen in a prime location mean one of the best stays for price in Dili. Also a great host.
As a Backpacker its a good place to stay. The Family is very nice. They help u with everything.
The next Mall is just 10 Minutes footwalk away.
You can catch the bus to the City within 2 Minutes footwalk. If i ever need a Hostel again in Dili, i will go back to this place.
The restaurant and 4th floor outdoor bar were excellent. The prople behind the reception desk were very helpful and pleasant to deal with as were the staff in the restaurant & bar. The hotel is placed in a modern complex that has many eateries and a cinema.
Location is perfect, right beside main landmarks. Reception staff is very very friendly, helped with everything and always available. Breakfast has a large choice and available a bit early.
Rooms are large and design of the hotel is in some national style.
It was my first night in a new country. NJ didn't try to be fancy. I only met the manager, and he was fine. The room was clean but didn't have a real window to the outside. Dili is small city, so being at NJ enables walking to everything downtown,
It is a bit old but a very nice hotel. Has some shops, including a super nice souvenir shop, telecom shop, and an ATM downstairs. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the dinner is very good as well. There is a swimming pool and garden.
The location to the city was ideal. It's one of the more inexpensive hotels in the city, so do not expect luxury. As a 21-year-old wanting to travel to a niche country, it fit all of my expectations :)
no breakfast was provided by the hotel. the staff is young and clueless. they know nothing at all. they cold not even call the taxi. the room was big. that was the only thing.
