I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and air-conditioned, although they did show some wear and tear eventually. The service was outstanding, with a young and professional staff who spoke fluent English, French, and Swahili. The location was perfect for me, close to everything yet in a scenic and quiet area. While the dining experience fell a bit short of my expectations, the facilities were top-notch.
