The Mesami Hotel is a modern property with spacious rooms and a decent English breakfast. However, the quality of service is inconsistent—sometimes friendly and professional, other times abrupt and unfriendly, which can be off-putting. The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and very secure, but it’s strongly advised not to walk around outside due to nearby sensitive areas. Getting to downtown or even dining just a few blocks away requires taking a taxi. For better convenience and access to amenities, staying along Marine Parade would be a smarter choice.
