    Safety and quietness

    Old carpets and smell. Inability to use the bath and basin due to lack of stopper

    Tasty mix of international cuisine and traditional African breakfast. The quantities were abundant. Staff was very friendly as well and the services were clean. There was also a gym that was great and pool facilities.

    Nothing to add - we were very satisfied by the trip. I would come back here at any time.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful - excellent there. Reception staff cheerful, helpful, and eager to provide good service. Business center guy helped by diagnose & figure out a good workaround for a computer problem that won't be able to be fixed til I'm back home.

    Facilities are a bit run down and dingy, breakfast pretty limited for the price, elevators slow, in-room windows (sliding door to balcony) did not seal well, making the room noisy and the a/c inefficient. Would be a decent choice for $60/night, but disappointing & overpriced at the $120-150 they charged. Restaurant service interminably slow - like 1/2 hour to get a cup of coffee!

    Friendly caring staff Good value for the fee charged Clean spacious rooms Good foodGood transport available

    Check in a bit slow despite booking a day earlier on booking . Com

    7SimonPosted on: 8-14-2023

    The rooms are functional although quite old. We stayed in a room which had smelling toilets. Thank fully we were changed to another room. The lifts have limited options so sometimes you may have to wait. The reception staff were not friendly, after arriving past midnight, they made us wait for a long time to verify our booking. They system is generally slow.

    Reception staff were not welcoming

    Very friendly efficient staff .Very clean rooms with immaculate linenVery good food

    A delay on the check in

    The neat environment.

    Disappointing and embarrassing services for room reservation through Booking.com.Other colleagues got discount while I was exempted.

    3KawalyaPosted on: 5-1-2023

    Breakfast was fairly good and the location convenient

    The hotel is old with choking carpet.

    7OliverPosted on: 4-28-2023

    It is much bigger facility than expected, staying where conference is helps.

    I felt the breakfasts were a little lacking for the price being paid, and the price of the food on the menu for room service was quite high, but tasty.

    7VirvaPosted on: 2-28-2023

    Safe environment, friendly staff, comfortable bed and sufficient number of pillows. Breakfast selection overall was nice. Gym facilities were good. For runners there were treadmills and actually there was a safe area nearby (1km) to run outside in the Kololo Hill near the embassies. Also other cardio equipment was also provided in the hotel gym. In addition there were free weights and general gym equipment for comprehensive workout needs. Travel/transport services provided by the hotel travel desk were trustworthy and punctual.

    The pool area and the pool was a bit dirty. The hotel restaurant menu and food could be better. I recommend that you have your dinner somewhere else since there are other restaurants in the area.

    Location is perfect

    When booking through booking.com they give you bad rooms but when booking directly from reception they give you best rooms. Its not fair

    5M00YAPosted on: 8-15-2022

    Large space with sofas and standing chair/table. The wifi was faster and reliable.

    Most facilities are old. Door locks are facult. Had sleepless night with many mosiquito bikes. Windows are not screened allowing mosquitos into the room. The mosquito net leaves a big area for mosquitos to enter. Had a sleepless

    Very good location, many good restaurants around and shoping malls. Pool is nice and well maintained. Hotel is clean and offers a lot for the price.

    Staying there for business purposes i did not noticed anything that would i not like

    7MarinaPosted on: 7-28-2022

    Clean room, big swimming pool

    Menu is quite poor, almost nothing for vegetarians. Swimming pool is only for swimming, not for fun. There's no way to enjoy cold beer and dive into the water after that.
