Hotel Timor

Had a great one day stay here on my way to Darwin. The hotel is one of the best in Timor-Leste. Great dinning room, including breakfast. Nice Wifi in public areas. Very nice rooms and they provide shuttle to the airport. Highly recommend it. The location is excellent right by the Ferry port in the center of town. The staff are very helpful, I needed an iPhone cable, they sent an employee with me to the store !!!

Hotel in stile coloniale, nuovo nelle zone comuni ma datato nelle stanze private. Molto pulito e curato ed il servizio è molto attento. Ottimo è la colazione che è molto varia ed abbondante, noi abbiamo anche cenato con una buona sorpresa sulla qualità sia del cibo che dell’attenzione riposta nei nostri confronti da parte del personale.

We stayed at Hotel Timor because it had a nice location in town. We stayed for 4 days and discovered these pros and cons. Cons: 1. No elevators. Room they assigned us was on several flights of stairs. We are seniors so receptionist (she tried her best to help us) got us a dirty room on the First Floor, which was 2 flights of stairs from reception. The room was more thoroughly cleaned the next morning. 2. Two men cleaned the rooms. One drove us out before cleaning & when he finished, didn't bother informing us when we were just a few steps away on the same floor. This man also refused to give me a laundry bag even after I explained to him that the laundry bag in our room is at the cleaners' & that I have more laundry for the next day. After more discussions, he relented. New toiletries were not issued. 3. In room phone & hair dryer not working. One of the room cleaning guys gave us a working hair dryer the next day. 4. Black mold in shower and shower floor had cracks. It took a long time for water to drain in the shower thus the feet have to get wet with dirty water used after showering. Have to pause shower after every few minutes so water won't flow into the rest of the restroom. 5. Inroom wifi was a total miss, unable to support a phone conversation. Internet speed in the room was 1 mbps. 6. Narrow depth closet, 6 inches only. Hanger width is a foot, more or less. Have to orient hangers accordingly. 7. Mosquitoes, gnats in room day & night. 8. Bed is simple foam rubber mattress, no coil springs 9. Cleanliness black mold has invaded caulking in shower so needs to be regrouted & recaulked 10. Shower head does not flow properly, needs replacement Pros: 1. Front desk ladies especially Paya & Taya were very helpful & eager to please. Both spoke English well. 2. Restaurant employees were friendly but didn't speak English. However, they understood some Spanish since they spoke Portuguese. Daily breakfast from 6:30- 10:00 was filling, consisting of western & Asian favorites & sliced tropical fruits. There was no egg station but they served fried eggs & scrambled eggs. They had a self serve coffee machine. Coffee for breakfast is unlimited. 3. Their grilled salmon with local vegetables tasted great and was my favorite. 4. The AC worked great. The room was pretty quiet though it was next to a busy road and a small park. 5. Refrigerator in the room worked well 6. Free car service to & from the airport. The hotel is a block away from a small grocery. Use a credit card or local Timorese currency if buying from local grocery. This is my honest opinion of the hotel- it may not seem warm for the owners but that's my take of Hotel Timor,

A great hotel in the center of Dili. Comfortable rooms with views. Shower had the taps the wrong way around, but a minor issue once sorted. Good meals in a relaxing dining room and also available by the pool which is a good size, clean, with shady areas to sit and very clean changerooms. A few restaurants close by although not much else and a fair walk (or drive) to a good beach. Ideally situated if you have business to do in central Dili. The staff were friendly and most had some English.

For $US120 a night I at least expect a hot shower. Very expensive for a hotel in dire need of repairs. Shower heads spurt water everywhere, noisy kitchen exhaust fan outside the windows, some staff were friendly others seemed annoyed to have to talk to me. Why is my room $135, my travel partner is $120 and my other friends $110 for the same room type. They can't give me an explanation. Paying top dollar for a budget hotel. I will look elsewhere next time.

Hotel da era colonial com um ambiente tipicamente português, quer a nível da sua frequência, quer a nível da comida oferecida o seu restaurante. Os quartos são amplos e confortáveis. Tem uma zona exterior com piscina muito agradável. O hall de entrada é o local de convivio em especial da comunidade portuguesa a trabalhar em Timor. Bom pequeno almoço e bom serviço de restauração a um preço acessível. Atendimento simpático

Hotel Timor is a great place to stay. They pick you up from the airport and do everything they can to make your stay a good one. The staff are helpful and provide good advice. The location is fantastic. You can walk to the ferry, to good local restaurants, cafes, supermarket, museum and Parliament House. I recommend staying here for work and when on holiday.

One of the nicest room i have been lately; it was clean, well organized and not too claustrophobic with unnecessary items which make the room smaller. The downside was the erratic wifi and noise from the possible kitchen air ventilator (or something else). The room was on the second floor - there are no lifts in the hotel but accessibility for people with mobility issues will be a problem. The food was good - ate most times at the restaurant (Perhaps I was lazy to get out); staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely staff here when I come back to Dili

The hotel is in need of maintenance and even a renovation. The bathrooms are old, and the rooms are outdated, lacking any charm. I stayed on a party night, and the hoofer made the windows shake! It continues to be sought after because of its location and limited competition.
