    From the airport pick-up to the hotel reception, the rooms, the food, and the evening band, the hotel exceeded all expectations. The conference facilities were excellent, and the gym was well equipped truly a top-class experience throughout. Sylvia, Daisy, Mwanaisha and Brenda among others keep up the great work.

    This hotel is the best we've stayed in Kenya. They are very attentive with drinks on arrival, cold towels, early check in, and fruits sent to your room. The location is great to quickly catch a tuk tuk or go to some restaurants. The pool is for kids but it is still a nice atmosphere to relax by

    The place was awesome. Very near the commuter train station for people going to Mombasa. I really enjoyed the swimming pool by the bar. Being around Christmas I loved the lights. The service was fast. Our beer was served with popcorn and coated peanuts 🤤. Compared to the place, the prices of drinks were very fair. A beer went for Ksh 350. Clean place. Actually I visited this place the last day before I left for home and it made me want to change my return ticket to the day after. I really looooovvvvvveed this place.😍

    Excellent customer service. Very clean rooms and sumptuous food. Derrick welcomed me so well and he is very professional. At the receiption desk, I was welcome so warmly and given a room by a lady whose name tag read Brenda. She fully knows her work. While checking out I was cleared by Fidelis who is so welcoming and understanding.I'll come again and again
