Old property and things are falling apart. Needs major renovation, food is not good at all. The food quality is very low and one surprising thing is breakfast room service is 25,000 shillings, it means if you decide to have breakfast in your room they will a charge you room service 25,000($12). I find this ridiculous especially if you look at the food they serve.

I had a severe allergic reaction the 2nd night, which can only be attributed to something related to the bed covers, please check that out, other than that I would recommend everything about this hotel. Thanks!!
