    friendly staff
    unreliable wi-fi
    uncertain entertainment

    The staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

    Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi connection was quite unreliable, which made it difficult for me to work during my stay. I had to frequently ask for the correct network details, as they changed them unexpectedly, and this caused me quite a bit of frustration. Additionally, the large screen TV in my room was not connected to any channels, which was disappointing as I expected to enjoy some entertainment in the evenings.

    good experience, but needs a few improvements

    The decor of my room was stunning and truly reflected the culture of Africa, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff, especially Lilly the Manager, were extremely friendly and attentive, ensuring my comfort throughout my stay. The breakfast was fresh and flavorful, and I enjoyed dining at the restaurant with a wide variety of delicious options. I also loved the vibrant ambiance that made each meal feel special.

    The location, while nice, lacked immediate access to shops and attractions.

    disrupted work

    The room featured beautiful decor that truly captured the essence of Kenyan culture, making it a delightful environment. The staff's attentiveness, especially from the manager, enhanced the stay, providing personalized service that made me feel welcomed and valued. Food options were robust, with the burgers standing out, but I did encounter some inconvenience with fluctuating Wi-Fi connectivity, which disrupted work plans. Additionally, although the ambiance was wonderful, the lack of nearby attractions was somewhat limiting.
