Great location in the old fort area with everything in walking distance. Our upstairs room was spacious with a view of the Indian Ocean. The breakfast was exceptional. Plenty of fruit, juice, eggs, toast and jams. Tea and coffee were provided anytime during the day by the attentive staff. Would definitely stay here again.

The gentleman was very kind and flexible. We had to catch a train early in the morning and he served great breakfast for us at 6am although it was supposed to be between 7-9am. We appreciate his hospitality!

Nice big old colonial house with spacious room.

We stayed at Fort Bliss for 2 nights. We had a great room with lots of space, big bathroom and very clean. The location is perfect for walking around town and it was quiet. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The service was terrific. Overall, we were very happy with our selection. The hotel is in a big, colonial dutch house. The high ceilings add an extra nice touch.

We had a great experience at Fort Bliss. The front desk officer Imran was friendly and gave us a welcome drink. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was also nice. The Wi-Fi was uninterrupted. Breakfast was scrumptious and prepared with care from Chef Sunil. It was the best decision to choose Fort Bliss Hotel.

Möchte ich bebingungslos empfehlen. Perfekte Lage für das Fort und Sonnenuntergang, tolles (westliches) Frühstück, angenehme und sehr saubere Zimmer und der Chef selbst kümmert sich bemüht um alles. UND natürlich ganz wichtig, man hat morgens und abends kaum Tagestouristen, weil man ja vor Ort ist.
