Clean and comfortable bed.
Great staff that were very helpful.
Good location close to airport and walkable into the small town.
I recommendation this small hotel to travellers.
It was a clean comfortable room. Staff were great and very accommodating
The food was excellent and the best iced coffee ever.
Perfect stop to the airport
The room was neat and tidy with every essential amenity one needs after flying into Liberia. Staff were friendly and responsive via WhatsApp for late check in. I had a smooth and restful stay.
Wonderful staff. A touch noisy but as to be expected on the highway. Overall we needed a clean safe place to stay beside the airport and it was more than fine.

Pleasant experience but some room for improvement! Cute local hotel close to the airport. The cafe was a nice touch but notice that they are closed on Tuesdays (just for information). The rooms could use some work but they were clean and beds comfortable. Lots of road noise from the highway so I recommend some ear plugs! AC worked and there was also a fan in the room.

The neighbors rooster woke us up a couple times in the night, but the hotel itself and staff were perfect. It was just what we needed and happened to be right next to our car rental place (Payless).
The room was spacious and clean. Came with a mini fridge and extra fan.
There were very few amenities.

While Karao Hotel may offer budget nightly stays, it offers amazingly large rooms, close vicinity to the Liberia airport, public bus directory in front of Karao, and extraordinary professionally brewed coffee shop and breakfast meals. The (made on premises) breakfast items are inexpensive and high quality. Hope you will enjoy my recent photos of these delights, my companion and I stayed twice in December 2025. Perfect in every way.
We were suppose to have 2 rooms and they put us up in the family room this was not what we booked as we were traveling with my family and some friends and we like to have our space. There was not much around to walk to and there is no front desk to figure out things if you get there past 5pm
Easy! Clean! Great staff! Not busy! Great when you have to take a flight in the morning

No one was there, the door to the hotel was lock and nobody answered to phone# from the posting on the door. The entire establishment was completely abandoned.I can't tell you any more about it, because it was closed and we had to find other accommodation

Not sure if AC was working at all.
Owner did not respond to text.
It didnt tell us room was on 3rd floor with no elevator.
Wi fi quite fast. Shower flash heater works well after waiting for 3 hours
