New Victory Hotel

West Timor


The newer of the Victory hotels opened in 2017 with 23 clean rooms with questionably patterned wallpaper, air-conditioning, TV, hot water and breakfast included. Strangely, there is an enormous gym and exercise hall here, with Zumba and aerobics. There are plans to double in size.
