I love the quiet and the convenience of the stay here. It is a 5 minute drive to the airport (traffic allowing, of course), and it is really close to the Simba grocery store. The breakfast buffet and omelettes cooked to order are a highlight of each morning!

The porter was very friendly and that is were the service stopped. I left 2 small bags at the hotel on the Friday before check in, it took them ages to find it. The staff at reception was super unfriendly and not helpful. I had an early check out and asked for 2 eggs and some fruit, they said they would organise it. When I arrived at the desk at 3 am there was nothing. I sent a message tl the hotel to tell them my time of arrival and if there will be a hotel transfer, I received NO response. I had to ask someone to contact the hotel. On arrival the hotel transfer was waiting for other guests and got a taxi for me, the taxi broke down and I had to take a bajajis. There are lot of road works. I would not recommend this hotel There is only a hand held shower and no soap in the dispenser. The hotel needs an upgrade, it is over priced!
