About

The chicken dry fry is unexpectedly delicious, and the meat is worth the wait if you call ahead an hour before arrival. This is the last food stop between Isiolo and Marsabit, so it's useful for road trippers. Skip the overnight stay — rooms need serious upkeep.

    I would recommend a stop over for food only. The meat is yummy but it takes time. You could however call in advance let's say an hours advance to have them start preparing your meal. If travelling from Isiolo to Marsabit, I guess this is the last place to grab something else you might go all the way to Marsabit.

    Chicken dry fry tasted like something I've never tasted. Very yummy! Go try it out.

The bathroom needs hot water, the rooms need an air conditioner badly. We were given a room fan which moved the air but wasn't nearly enough... Our ceiling was caving in and had water spots, the bathroom ceiling had a gaping hole. Nice location but...

    This a budget hotel with good cottages. The customer care is poor and the locals are allowed to relax arroud the cottages as the take bear and chew khart. As a visitor you feel uncomfortable.

    Very nice room. But food needs to be ordered very early. Might take quite a lot of time if they have many orders
