"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."

"Great location inside the fort walls, so close to shopping, dining and historic sites. Staff very so nice and helpful, and the breakfasts, which were different every day and were freshly made local food, are probably the best breakfasts we've had in any country when travelling overseas. Beautifully restored building with tasteful period style decor. Good a/c plus a ceiling fan"

8/10 Good
"Staff were lovely, the breakfast was exceptional and location perfect. The beds were comfortable. We had a family room so no window to the outside apart from a small window looking over the foyer and the climb to the second bed very steep. Unfortunately there was no hot water and the information provided was that it would not be repaired for several days and applied to the whole property. Staff seemed unconcerned when we complained and a partial refund (about 1/5 of room cost) was provided. Fortunately we had only booked 2 nights but other than hot water it was lovely."
