    spacious room
    well-prepared food
    great for families
    inconsistent hot water
    timely service
    lack of amenities

    I enjoyed the spacious room, which made my stay comfortable, and the fresh, well-prepared food was a highlight. However, I encountered issues with inconsistent hot water in the shower and a lack of timely service when I requested assistance. Great for families looking for room options, but attention to amenities would enhance the experience.

    friendly staff
    comfortable beds
    great coffee
    cold pool
    mold bathroom

    The staff impressed me with their friendly demeanor, especially Alfred in the restaurant, who was enthusiastic and attentive. The room itself had ample space with comfortable beds, which allowed for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a variety of options that pleased my palate, and the coffee was exceptional. However, the bathroom needed some attention. I noticed mold in the shower corners. The sink had issues with drainage, making it inconvenient. The location felt safe and quiet, perfect for relaxation. Although I found the pool area nice, it could use a bit of upkeep, as it seemed a bit cold and old. Some renovations are definitely needed to enhance the overall experience.

    renovation noise
    accessibility issues

    spacious rooms, clean hotel facilities, flexible check-in times

    Renovation noise is obnoxious!!! Hot water takes an absurd amount of time to run!!! The lack of soundproofing in certain rooms is quite annoying!!! Poor location accessibility makes for inconvenient outings!!!

    inviting pool
    helpful staff
    renovation noise
    bland food

    The pool was super inviting for daily swims, 💦 but had a bit of noise from renovations. The food in the restaurant had nice options but could use more flavor. Stay-making staff made it all worthwhile!

    buffet meal

    It was just a well-suited match for a speedy visit in Kisumu and great for the money. I had a wonderful buffet meal that I won’t forget anytime soon. Try to request a room with a pool view for a relaxing vibe.
