    The fact that the hotel has no contacts for transporters for guest who have no Apps to contact Ubber or Bolt

    Break fast was not part of the package although this was not clear from the time of booking.

    The staffs are very hospitable and friendly. They took care of every need of us. The services requested were quickly delivered. The whole stay was comfortable and cozy. The pool and sauna was very clean and easy to use. The room view was also pleasant. The place is highly affordable and in a very good and safe location. Breakfast buffet had so many options and live counters. Being my first time in Nairobi and Kenya, this place met all my expectations and made my stay more pleasant.

    Not maintained properly. Most of the time you have to wait for long time for everything. They don’t want to serve even water during breakfast , lunch and dinner . You will never get hot water in room . In the evening at 6pm they don’t have any food to serve against order . We were force to finished our dinner with French fry only . Very pretty. Horrible experience.

    I can say only it was near to our office nothing else

    The service staff in the restaurant were very friendly, but not very attentive. The food was at best mediocre. You only got hot water in the shower after letting the water run for at least 10 minutes

    The room was clean. The reception staff are friendly and competent.

    I am brought in Uber taxi, the security man at the gate decides I should not be dropped at the hotel lobby entrance, instead I should walk from the gate! As a guest from very far... surely:(. The food is expensive for my budget, I decide I should order from Uber eats. The delivery man is stopped at the gate by the same hostile looking security guard and I am told that I am not allowed to order delivery from outside, instead I must buy from the hotel. An argument ensues...why should you control what I eat with my budget???? They also say that they have free sauna and gym facilities for their customers. I arrived and went to the gym, there was a power cut and I was told I couldn't access the facilities as it was quite dark and since the power was off, they were closing early. Apparently they switched off the generator so that they could let it cool for about an hour. Honestly what kind of hotel is this??

    Convenient location
