Hotel Esplanada

Guests of the restaurants don't get wifi. Comperatively the restaurant is quite expensive terrible service and business model.

Lovely pool friendly and helpful staff great location We flew from Darwin for a long weekend and are planning another trip as soon as we can

We just returned from a quick trip to Timor Leste which is only an hour and a bit from Darwin. We stayed in Dili and enjoyed a cultural tour to surrounds. We stayed at Hotel Esplanade and were treated really impressed with the welcome and service provided by Anthony the manager and Ash the owner. The restaurant food was great,overlooking the Timor Sea. Highly recommend this hotel which is reasonably priced and well located. Our tour which gave insight into recent inspiring history and local food/craft (Viasucc Timor Tour) was well worth it.

Just had a great stay at Hotel Esplanada in Dili. All the hosts really helpful and friendly. Very comfortable room, relaxing pool and garden and tasty food in great restaurant overlooking the ocean and street life.

Immaculately maintained accommodation with friendly staff, a good location, and a good restaurant with a beautiful view. The pool and surrounding area are very nice.

Anthony and his crew are so welcoming! I look forward to coming “home” again to this family-run hidden gem. ✨💎😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quiet atmosphere, strategic location on the main road, right in front of the beach, easy access to important locations in the city of Dili.

Very nice hotel and staff

I stayed at this hotel for four weeks and it was great! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable and safe during my time there. When I had any issues, they responded immediately and fixed the problem. The hotel has a calming vibe even though it's right off the road-you can barely hear the cars. I think I heard more roosters that street noise. The pool was very refreshing (not cold, but felt good). On Thursdays they host a Latin music dance night with lessons, which is a lot of fun and social. If you go to bed early, you may want to bring ear plugs for Thursdays. The hotel has around 7 cats and kittens, and they are cuties! If you are into yoga, they have free yoga every morning at 6am, and 8 am on Sundays. I didn't do it, but it seemed good! The room is very comfortable. What I loved the most is that they give you a large jug (5 gallon) of water instead of water bottles. I really appreciated that because I feel so guilty constantly throwing away water bottles. The AC worked very well and the bathroom was nice. The TV didn't really work, but I didn't really want to watch too much local tv. The bed was comfortable and they have good pillows. There is a dresser so you can hang up your clothes. The hotel's restaurant is very good. I ate a lot of dinners there and they have a diverse menu so you won't get bored eating the same thing. The staff are very kind. The hotel's breakfast is basic-eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt, and juice. Very good though. The location is great. The hotel is across from the beach which gives great views while eating a meal at the restaurant. It's safe to walk on the beach road and that was great to get walks in. It's about 10 minute walk to the grocery store and a few other restaurants. If I ever come back to Dili, I definitely will be staying at Hotel Esplanada!

+ Very friendly and helpful staff + comfy beds + clean + flexible regarding payment (saved my life) + nice atmosphere

What an amazing place to stay, right on the beach. Close proximity to supermarket, local cafes, short walk down the street. Anthony and Selina were extremely helpful and knowledgeable on things to do and see? Thank you both for sharing with us. As was all the staff who went out of their way to make our stay special x Our room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Awesome gardens and pool, to chill and relax? Yoga sessions in the morning around the pool, depending on the weather. The views from the restaurant overlooking the foreshore were amazing. If you’re keen highly recommend the grilled fish in banana leaves, that was ssoooooo good. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a special place to stay this would be it…
