    We didn't want to leave and would definitely go back. Truly enjoyed our 2-night stay. The room was reasonably spacious, it had a shower and bath sheets. All members of the staff were affable and fairly friendly. The location was favorable and magnificent, directly in the old town.

    The hotel was an ideal place for enjoying a very convenient area. The location was marvelous - just a walk down to everywhere we wanted to go. A few times we ate at Jimmy's Egg Restaurant, located relatively near the property.

    The location of the hotel is super central, just a short walk to the music festival, the old fort, and the amphitheater where the Sauti za Busara Festival was happening. Additionally, there are plenty of great restaurants, shopping, and bars near the hotel.

    The location is absolutely fantastic, just steps away from the beach! The rooms are equipped with fans and mosquito nets, ensuring a comfortable and safe stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, assisting with tours and even finding a motorbike for us to rent. The breakfast served in the morning is delicious, offering eggs, toast, juice, and fruit. The property also has a room for safekeeping of valuables, and they allow for early check-out and storage of belongings until departure. a great value for the price and a wonderful experience!
