Very happy. Receptionist Ms. Deborah was pleasant, caring and helpful. Always smiling. Thanks also to GM Mr.Suman Kumar who allowed extra hours for check out as my return flight to Nairobi was delayed. Lovely and cozy restaurant. Nice place to stay, plenty of space to take a walk. Spacious rooms with amenities. Overall excellent.

I had a severe allergic reaction the 2nd night, which can only be attributed to something related to the bed covers, please check that out, other than that I would recommend everything about this hotel. Thanks!!

The bed was very bad. We felt both the same. The breakfast was ok but not more than ok. The pool was a bit dirty. Maybe because no one seems to used it except me when I was there.

Everything was good, only hot water was not enough I had to run the water for approximately 5 minutes to get warmer, I did notified front desk and no one come to fix it

6/10

Old property and things are falling apart. Needs major renovation, food is not good at all. The food quality is very low and one surprising thing is breakfast room service is 25,000 shillings, it means if you decide to have breakfast in your room they will a charge you room service 25,000($12). I find this ridiculous especially if you look at the food they serve.
