- Brian M.Google review · 17 Oct 2024
The rooms are pretty small, but they are generally clean. There are two types of rooms, the old ones (here the showers and drainage barely work okay) and the new wing (state of the art rooms). The new wing is fine, but the standard rooms are small, and they have fans instead of a state of the art aircon. The bathroom is also small and squeezed. If you're 6ft, you'll have a problem standing under the shower. The place is also generally quiet, for a good night's rest. The service is great. The breakfast was quite elaborate, full english breakfast, but they didn't have one of those (either fried liver or wings), scrambled egg was also just available on request, but not communicated. Also they were lacking cereal bowls. The juice there was 5 🌟, fresh, tasty, natural. They had no African tea.

I booked in the hotels deluxe room, its an experience would wish to forget,Ac not working so i had to do with a fun, but the worst night mare is that there was no water in bathroom, i reported the matter to a rude receptionist who casually tells me ,' its only one day' and that i can go take my shower downstairs, mind you i was in 3rd floor and there is no lift. I had to go shower in a different hotel in the morning. Customer service in this hotel is non existent and they can do with a house keeper coz the rooms are not well kept.

They keep improving so the review might change. Stella is a great asset. Listens, is honest and cares about her clients. And observant. She made our time there worth it.
