Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and airy with a nice town view, they could use a modern touch to enhance comfort, especially during a work trip that involved around 35 rooms. The location was excellent, set in a beautiful seaside neighborhood with the added benefit of green spaces from the nearby golf course. However, there were some minor issues like potential traffic noises. The dining experience in this East African hotel was exceptional, offering fantastic Indian vegetarian choices, thanks to Chef Rajesh's hospitable touch. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, which was great. However, the service had its ups and downs – friendly and accommodating but with some intrusion issues. The location was perfect for sightseeing, but there were some doubts raised. The dining was fantastic with authentic Indian vegetarian choices, although there were a few selection concerns. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were large and quite comfortable, but unfortunately, the condition of the carpets and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The hotel was part of a work trip with around 35 rooms. The staff was friendly and courteous, but the dining experience was not impressive. The location was excellent, benefiting from the green space of the golf course alongside, but there were ongoing construction works nearby.
