My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The room was generally clean and well-maintained, but there were a few annoying issues like mosquitos and some outdated facilities. The location was convenient, making it easy to get around town. Although the dining options for breakfast were minimal, the staff provided a good level of service overall. I found the hotel to be reasonably priced, but there were some things that could definitely be improved.

I had a decent stay at the hotel. The room was okay overall, but I encountered some mosquitos, even with the mosquito net provided. The breakfast was quite limited, but considering the budget price, I guess you get what you pay for. The location was convenient for getting around town, but there were some issues with service, particularly the reception.

My stay was quite interesting. The hotel offers clean and decent rooms, and the place felt safe and quiet. However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as outdated amenities and some staff interactions that could be more welcoming. Overall, it provided a decent experience for the value.

6.0/10

The hotel had a sparkling clean environment and made safety a priority, which I appreciated. The staff was respectful and helpful, with a special mention to Phanice for being particularly great. However, there were several issues like worn-out pillows and low-quality sheets. Also, the dining service was inconsistent and food was missed on a busy day, which was disappointing.

The room was clean but the pillow was completely worn out and the sheets were of low thread count, making for a less than comfortable stay.

I had an interesting stay at the hotel, which was clean and well-kept. The room was comfortable, but there were quite a few mosquitos, though the mosquito net helped. It's a budget place, so the breakfast was minimal. The staff at night seemed a bit off-putting, but overall, it was a safe and quiet spot in Kilifi. The value for the price is decent, but there are areas that could use improvement, like room amenities.
