Rooms to avoid

Best views
The hotel is located in Juba, and rooms facing north or south may offer views of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors

Consider requesting a room with a balcony for a bit more space and a view. Be prepared for potential power outages, as they are not uncommon in Juba; the hotel has a backup generator, but it may not be sufficient for all rooms.
