From the moment we arrived, the staff at this hotel went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Every interaction—from the front desk to housekeeping—was warm, professional, and genuinely thoughtful. What stood out most was the attention to detail and the willingness of the team to accommodate every request with a smile. Whether it was offering local recommendations or simply checking in to ensure everything was perfect, the staff made us feel like valued guests every step of the way. It’s rare to come across a team so committed to providing exceptional service, and it made a lasting impression. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, but it was the people who truly made the experience outstanding. Highly recommend staying here—you’ll be well taken care of!

The room was very clean upon arrival. The staff were all accommodating. The room is perfect for a solo traveler. Only thing I disapprove of was being unaware that you had to pay for eating from the minibar. I grabbed a water and was later charged at checkout. This should be included in room information. Otherwise, my stay at GHL Arsenal was great.

Everything has been spectacular, I am glad I chose this hotel for my stay. Initially I was going with Bastion Luxury Hotel, they didn’t have the room available of my choice. So, it forced me to look elsewhere. Happy I did!! The hotel service, the food, the complimentary, the room, and location. Everything was perfect. I am very thankful. I don’t think any of your customers will be dissatisfied. Thank you for making me feel welcome and at home. The experience is literally at home, very welcoming.

The Arsenal is a small hotel located across frim the convention center in the Getsamani neighbothood. The rooms are modern and very clean, housekeeping staff is excellent. Beds and bedding are upscale and the Tv is large. There is a convenient mini fridge. Breakfast was included and excellent. Rooftop pool has a great view but only has 8 loung chairs. Towels are provided at the pool. All staff is warm, kind, and helpful. Very convenient location. 15 min from airport . I would definately stay here next visit.
