There were exposed wires to the outlet in the bathroom.

There is visible mold in the bathrooms for instance.

Behind the toilet are old ruin stains and all sealing is gone long ago.

although the bathroom would need some renovation, especially in the shower area.

The walls are covered in stains of dubious origin, the bathroom is covered in mould, the towels were dirty and the bedlinen not washed from the previous guest.

Disgusting rooms, I fear for my health staying in this hotel, green moldy walls and furniture, my shower drain flooded the bedroom, it looked like it wasn't the first time it had happened.

however the rooms are well overdue renovation work and especially the bathroom in the room I was in (248).House keeping in my opinion don’t really pay attention to detail as I noticed the tiles around the bathtub area are all water marked and need a good scrubbing.

Prepare for a foot bath as you wash your hands!

The bathrooms don't seem to have been touched by the renovation that was done.

The room was "tired", the bathroom even more "tired".

Some electrical switches were damaged and dangerous, the bath was stained and corroded, the shower head damaged and falls off, and sometimes the water supply is trickling.

although the shower curtain tend to stick to your legs.

The issue with the smell was the same, and the bathroom was so poorly maintained I thought the wall was crumbling.

If that wasn't enough I complained that the bathroom in our room had a strong smell of urine that even after cleaning soon came back when the air freshener they spray wore off.

), no convenient chairs at the ocean front, tiles in the bathroom were broken and dirty (bathroom was not nice at all).

There is also no filtration system so every so often they drain and refill it.

But the hotel is bare bones -- the bathrooms are pretty basic and need some work to make them look cleaner (dirty grout, broken tiles),

Comoros is a poor country and I did not expect much

but the food was poor quality and the cost not for off western prices.

Moroni is a very poor, dirty and underdeveloped place so returning to the Retaj in the evening felt like heaven.

If this hotel was anywhere else, I'd rate it "poor";

While the surroundings are quite nice, as the hotel is right in front of the beach, the rooms are really poor.

It is sad that a place with such potential has to endure a poor hotel like this, where to start.

However, in the context of being in an isolated, somewhat forgotten, highly uneducated and impoverished country, it is adequate and basically the only place to stay aside from the Istandra which is, at this time about 150 Euro a night (However, both places have poor quality food, not sure about the rooms,

Let me list the items:

- 50% increase of room rate for a second person (really, cant think of anything else to make up for your poor occupancy rate)
- Room was smelling of gutter during the full two days.

The staff are miserable and unhelpfull and english is poor.

On the cons side, the poor internet connection, limited choice at breakfast and, the slow pace of conference services.

So overall: this place is poor and worsening.

Despite seeing mnay poor reviews on this hotel, we decided to give it a try after 2 weeks on Moheli island.

The room was clean, AC worked well, the bed was comfortable,

Rooms are ok and clean with a nice breakfast buffet.

Room was clean with working AC , cleaning staff were busy in the other rooms around .

but makes up for it by clean rooms with good shower and decent wi-fi.

Decent staff and rooms are clean and nice, wifi has some connectivity issue some time .over all it was a great experience

the hotel rooms are clean and they are all sea facing 

sleep quality is great 
the hotel has electricity back up so ACs work 
The breakfast menu is repetitive

but rooms very clean and bed reasonably comfortable.

Clean rooms, well functioning a/c, tv works ok with a few int'l channels.

That said, the Hotel Le Moroni has some nice qualities:  clean rooms, A/C (very important), nice people.

The drain pipe from the sink is broken and open to the bathroom floor.

butter or jam etc) was fresh-ish the 1st morning but dry and stale the 2nd, both days the pastries were solid, stale and inedible.

Mold stains on the walls and ceilings, pillows filled with what only feels like torn up pieces of foam matress.

Disturbing is the fact that guests like to hang around at a "lounge" close to the rooms and the restaurant and a lot of them heavy smokers; the smell will get in your room if you are staying on the left side of the hotel.

The bath towels are old and need to be upgraded and the Wifi does not reach the bungalow

In the room, there is a glassed in shower with an open door.

Unfortunately the bathroom didnt looked very nice and it appeared to be quite filthy.

I’d happily pay €30 per night based on the poor quality of amenities and services.

Problems with bathroom were fixed rapidly.

Only suggestion to make bathroom in room more private as now it was glass one with a shaded wallpaper and you can see persons shade in the bathroom.

They don't offer beach towels, we had to use our bathroom towels, which was not nice.

There is mold in the corners of the shower, which operated at a trickle.

though the bathroom could do with a little refurbishment.

The credit card machine does work for checkout, and they allow you to bill food/beverage to your room account.

- the hotel accepts all types of credit cards (not just Visa)
- meals are appropriately priced.

If you have to visit make sure you use your credit card or withdraw local money in advance because the hotel exchange rayes are a ripoff.

You can pay your bill with VISA - they do not accept Mastercard.

Another man was around most of the time, seemingly in charge,

Check-in and payment procedures were very slow and the surcharges for card payment are just insane to be honest.

Unless you pay with VISA and accept surcharges you will pay in cash, mostly in Euro.The hotel is close to the airport and to Moroni.

Change of local currency easy and not charged; only VISA is accepted, or cash.

After complaining at the reception I was accommodated into one of their bangolo suites for no extra charge (last two nights).

The price to the airport is $20/car which is outrageous considering how poor Comoros is.

Strangely, during this stay, the restaurant service was poor due to lack of staff and the food was either not hot or empty stations were not replenished.

The Comores are among the most poorley managed countries similar to Belize and Haiti and among the 170 UNO countries definitely at the bottom of the list: poor roads and very dirty.

These glorious islands will be discovered soon so despite the poor accommodation I suggest if you like out of the way locations.

Their exchange rate for USD to KMF is only 420, far below the market rate of 460.

They should use some of the proceeds of their exorbitant rates (relative to other properties) to make physical improvements and staff customer service capacity.

However, due to relatively high prices, the majority of guests are tourists from other parts of the world, mainly from Europe, India, Far East or other relatively rich countries.

Meals are extremely basic, not what would you expect for the price you pay and the hotel name,

numerous emails back and forth (many going unanswered) and eventually having to make a money transfer to pay a deposit before arrival. .

I asked to order food there and they initially said no,

but after 07:30 there ws nothing left to eat and after we asked from the staff to refill the trays they took 45 minutes to grt us a plate of fruits instead of proper breakfast.

The room was dirty upon arrival, and as we asked for twin beds, this was not even arranged for the first night.

2 out of 3 requests went wrong, with no taxi available.

So you may struggle with making requests in English if you do not know any French.

If they would have asked me to do it, I would have even been happy to do it!

I was asked to rewrite the description of my impressions

and spacious room and clean ocean view!!!

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms

The rooms were clean and very comfortable.

Our room was clean with a magnificent view of the ocean, and the air conditioner was a life saver in the heat.

Beautiful view on the cost; pretty garden; friendly staff, efficient in provindg transport a car at any moment (no rent a car is available in Comores); precise in shuttling from and to airport (very close, by the way); nice private beach; clean rooms; good resteraunt (one of the most popular in Moroni, not sophisticated food

This is not a luxury and leaves much to be desired since there really isn’t WiFi in the rooms, and the rooms are very basic.

They tried to be patient with my poor French.

but, to my surprise, they refused to give me any info on public transport since I was not using the overpriced taxi services they offered.

but I did not like that they add 3% if you pay by Visa card !

Credit cards appear to possibly be accepted (I did pay in cash, though).

although I booked this room  through booking.com
The first night I got a suite on the first floor for the price of a standard.

but was the same price which seems a little strange.

however a bit overpriced - considering the very simple breakfast, the air-con and internet only working sporadically.

though definitely go into town the rate  in the hotel isn't great).

The food and room rates are highly overpriced and the rooms are small and often smoky (smokers).

though a little expensive, realtively speaking.

We paid around EUR 40 per night with plain

Our room was clean and comfortable and because we were leaving very early the next morning the staff made fresh crepes and a flask of coffee for us to have in our room before we left.

The room is clean and the staff is trying their best to speak English.

The jardin de la paix is quite well located, I had a room facing the street: not too much noise, the room was very clean ,the bed comfortable, with a fan for 40 Euros per day (add 10 Euros and you get the AC, what was not useful at this time of the year).

Clean rooms, each sharing a large foyer with three rooms,

It had no airconditioning and if I left the window open, everybody could just walk in.

On my first stay, the large, heavy wooden curtain railing above the window fell on top of my head as I tried to open the curtains.

There were at least 4 that sounded like they were right outside our window.

Close to the center of Moroni, this hotel offers the cleanest rooms we've seen in Comoros, with really great service. Meals were great (ask for the Indian dinner!)

but would suggest staying at least one full day and visit the medina in Moroni.

Mesh over all window so no need for a mosquito net over the bed.

On the negative side, a few mosquitos(requested a bed net), 2 low wall outlets, a stuck closet door and the Muezzin call with local roosters through the broken window beginning at 4:30AM.

Our superior room was very clean and spacious.

My wife and I spent 3 nights, arriving at 2PM by taxi(20Euro) from the HAH Airport.

The 3 jalousie window units were grilled, screened & louvered with one glass missing.

The room was spotlessly clean on arrival and every single day of our stay.

A small desk with a chair by one of the windows, makes this a very nice place to work, in case you need to.
