Pros +
- The rooms ever very clean, and the staff is very professional. The building and design are very beautiful, its a shame the location (other buildings in the area)
- The grounds were beautiful, we had rooms facing the back garden and river. Very tranquil hotel and tastefully done. The breakfast was generous and excellent. The staff were all very kind and super accomodating. Overall very good value for money.
- Great staff.Simple but peculiar roomsWonderful breakfast
Cons -
- The pricing on booking.com wasn't very clear as to the per-person charges vs room charges. Be mindful that the hotel charges are per-head rate that isn't clearly articulated on booking.com
- The beds were quite hard and the rooms were dark but overall not a big issue. The biggest thing lacking is that hotel does not offer lunch or dinner. This is a.serious problem because the town (Maua) is very rough and it is unsuitable to go anywhere if you don't look local. This area is a major khat (miraa) production center and you don't want to get into issues with people under the influence. We stayed in Maua to visit Meru National Park (30 minutes away) and when we stopped in town to buy snacks, the car was surrounded by 4-5 super high street kids sniffing glue who were highly aggressive. It is not a safe townl to venture into. While it is understandable that the hotel probably cannot afford to maintain a restaurant (we were the only guests staying there both nights), they should, at a minimum, offer a paid pickup service from a local restaurant so the guests don't have to go out into town. Shekinah - a budget restaurant in town - offers good food but the location is not safe to park in or walk to.
- No cold drinks available to be boughtHot water coming from the shower takes several minutes and then it is too hot to take a shower

Breakfast was very nice, the room was clean and the staff accommodating.
It would be nice to be able to order lunch and dinner. Some noise (from town) which might be linked to Xmas celebrations.
Breakfast was great
Dirty bathroom, cold water, staff that aren't attentive and overall experience was wanting.
clean and secure
staff could use a bit of customer service training, a smile costs nothing
