The hotel's rooms are well-equipped with constant wifi connection but limited to one device per room. While the rooms can get quite hot without a balcony, they are impeccably clean and secure, ensuring a pleasant stay.

I found this hotel to be a perfect choice, with its spacious and comfortable rooms that were very clean and secure. The location was incredibly convenient, within walking distance of key attractions in the city, such as Moi Avenue and the Jami Masjid. The dining experience offered a good variety of both African and European options, catering to different tastes. However, some areas felt a bit outdated, and the lunch and dinner menu were not as impressive. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly and helpful staff.

The hotel is located in central Nairobi, making it convenient but also causing time wasted in traffic jams. The rooms have mosquito nets, are clean, and allow only one device per room, but they lack air conditioning, balconies, and can get quite hot. The service is very friendly and helpful but can be slow. The dining experience is decent, with a buffet offering various food and beverages. The hotel facilities are inside a market complex and guarded at night.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Jami Masjid and very close to Moi Avenue, making it easy to find various dining options nearby. The service is slow but very helpful, especially considering the market complex location and nightly security. The dining experience offers a good variety of African and European options but may have delays due to current restrictions. The overall facilities are satisfactory and meet basic needs.
