This hotel is in a great location but completely neglected and poorly managed: inadequate linen ( 2 towels per room); Aircons in a state of disrepair, no cappuccino machine, pool area not managed ( outsiders come to swim), restaurant almost non-existent.

Horrendous!
Pathetic customer service! 45mins to check in, 30 minutes to check out. Manager is “too busy” to address any issues. Old, dilapidated hotel.

Service was very bad, no one attended us when we arrived we even took keys by ourselves because there was no one at reception and also when we checked out we just left the keys, there was no one. Cockroach in our room, it was not clean even the balcony. Breakfast was fine. No fridge. Overall we was so disappointed.

Fair - Wifi, damp, breakfast needs to improve
Wifi in the reception area only, not in the rooms. Staff not really friendly. We were sent to the right room and found it unbearably smelling of dump from the mat. We were given another room and it was better than the first, but it smells too. Breakfast can be nice but it was smaill portions. The hotel is nicely and centrally situated. We saw the hippos upclose. Great hotel and it can be upscaled easily. Nice swimming pool and gardens.

Upon arrival I was sent to a room that I have not paid for. After asking and telling the receptionist about this she had told me all other rooms are fully booked and they cannot do anything. I found this very frustrating as I did not get what I paid for. The room was a king size bed what I paid for but yet I was given two single beds.

Good stay but the hotel is not flexible with late checkout. Breakfast is not buffet and hence the service is slow during peak hours.
