Checked in suite 13 for 3 nights. Room were clean, spacious, superb looking and safe. Security was tight though. Room came with 4 bottles of mineral water, a fruit basket, a box of tea, coffee, etc. Section seperated into balcony, bedroom and toilet. View from lounge was beautiful. Breakfast is homemade style. Staff was polite and helpful. More

The other reviews reflect my experience. The electricity, with generator backup, is good. The A/C's work well. The staff is service oriented. The security is good. The breakfast buffet can do with improvement. I personally, liked being out of the city center. There is a good swimming beach about 1 or 2 km away from town at the Caz Restaurant. More

I just came back from a full week in Dili and stayed at the California Hotel, really enjoyed it. My room was number 12 upstairs and quite confortable. They have a small "living room" with a sofa, small desk and FREE internet cable connection, although really slow. They also offer a kettle and a small fridge which is basically for... More

My partner and have recently returned from Dili. We wanted an accommodation a few kilometers away from Dili City Center, so we preferred staying with Hotel California. We did not look for any option as our driver directly took us California only. Check in was smooth and the same was check out two days later. Between these two days, our... More

I have been to Dili many times, and I have stayed in most of the hotels. Generally speaking most hotels in Dili are starting to get a bit "tired" and so I thought I'd give Hotel California a shot. The hotel accommodation is clean and fit for purpose. Its a bit far out of town which makes getting a taxi... More

The California Hotel is out of town towards the Jesus Statue, but in a lovely location opposite the long seaside path. We had a very comfortable suite at US$80. Upstairs was a pavilion restaurant/bar overlooking the sea where breakfast was served. Friendly staff. More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel California (Yes, the Eagles tune did make me chose it!) and we are really glad we did. It is 4 km from the city centre($US1.50 by taxi), but there's nothing special about the middle of town at all. In fact, avoiding the centre of town is probably a good strategy if you can... More
