The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Ugali Experience

I had an amazing time at the cafe within the hotel. They serve Ugali, which I had been craving, and it was prepared perfectly. I recommend visiting if you're in the mood for good food and a cold beer in a tranquil setting. The decor features ancient antiques that add to the experience. Overall, a lovely place to unwind after a long travel day.

My stay in the Deluxe Room was fantastic! The bed was super comfy, and the room was impeccably clean. After a long flight, it was exactly what I needed. Plus, the 24/7 WiFi allowed me to catch up on emails. I felt right at home during my brief stay.

I had a wonderful stay, with clean and spacious rooms that were very comfortable. The hotel was incredibly close to the airport, making it perfect for my early morning flight. The dining options were decent but could use a bit more variety. I enjoyed the pool area, but the Wi-Fi wasn't included in my stay, which was a bit of a letdown.
