  • George N.Google review · 24 Apr 2022

    Rooms are low budget and average. Have a table for use of one has a laptop. However, there are no sockets to plug the laptop for power. The environment surrounding the hotel is not so good. The food would come when not so well cooked. On a positive note, staff are friendly and the hotel is close to Moi International airport

    It's a nice place for a budget traveller. Rooms are neat and even have a workstation, dressing table, WiFi and TV for only Kes 1,800/- at the moment. Breakfast is optional and staff are friendly and helpful. Parking space is secure but quite limited. It's an ideal place for a traveller avoiding the Mombasa Island traffic jams.

    Well, I personally was there it's a gorgeous nicely vanished hotel with all what a motel requires. Just to mention but a few. It's secure and good packing yard, delicious meals if I was not hungry 😂...and very comfortable nice rooms for rest, wines and the rest at your service low romantic music to keep you posted 😀....wow.
