In Africa standards: good
On the whole, place is nice, but the service is a little haphazard: steak was overcooked, when I ordered a glass of red wine, the waiter hesitantly left the whole bottle, the following eveninc I was asked if I wanted ice with it (?). Also the cleaning lady wouldn’t understand I didn’t need cleaning that day and came back three separate times, each time waking me up from much needed sleep (why I had booked myself in to begin with).

Just like an average Holiday Inn.
The hotel says it's 4-star but it's nowhere near that level. It's like an average Holiday Inn - not dirty, but not warm or welcoming beyond the basics. The WiFi is terrible and keeps disconnecting. The staff were incredibly friendly and that made up for the average stay.
