    I forgot the name of the guy manager- i think its Francis. He(very polite and concerned) and the cleanliness in the rooms and the swimming pool can make someone overlook all the rest. The kikuyu lady manager was a big turnoff. Upto when i got to Malindi after talking to her on my way there i wasn't sure i wanted to check in there but i decided to take chances. It says on booking no prepayment required but she called me to tell me i needed to prebook for 1 night for her to reserve a room for me. Alot of arrogance in her speech. I never cared to see or know who she was during my stay but she sounded a little in her 50's and clueless. Ordering lunch in their restaurant was a bad idea. I waited over 2 hours only to be served a few pieces of black burnt pieces and cold ugali...i told the waiter to sit down and eat it herself then bring me my order. They said i couldn't get choma prepared since i had waited too long already so they offered a beef stew that gave me a stomach upset. For the rest of the days i was keen and only took the breakfast from there. The room were clean, only the last day i had changed rooms to the across the road where the main reception sits and that last one wasn't the cleanest. Sugar ants invaded the washroom.

    Food and the lady managers arrogance.

    My stay at [Hotel Name] was just moderate. While the hotel itself was decent, I was disappointed by the breakfast, which did not meet expectations. The selection was quite limited, and the quality could definitely be improved. If the hotel can enhance this aspect, it would make a big difference in the overall experience. Apart from that, everything else was acceptable, but I was hoping for a bit more.

    What I didn't like was the breakfast offering. The variety was quite limited, and the food quality wasn’t up to par. The items seemed either underwhelming or not fresh, and there wasn’t much to choose from. It felt like a missed opportunity to enhance the guest experience, especially since breakfast is such an important part of a hotel stay.

    Breakfast was not as expected.

    The owners need to open a school in the premise because they treat guests as such! To many stupid restrictions it feels like you are in a boarding school. The owner had the guts to tell guests they oughta be asleep at 2300hrs!

    Property response:

    We apologise if we did not meet your expectations. After cutting short your 5 nights stay after 3 nights, you got a full refund for the remaining 2 nights. Every facility is licensed to operate within stipulated hours. Your group's insistence to play loud music after 11pm could therefore not be accommodated due to this fact. You had the option of sampling entertainment establishments in Malindi that are licensed to operate throughout the night and not turn our Hotel parking into one bearing in mind other guests were sleeping at the time which was very inconsiderate of you. Please book your future stays accordingly.

    Very close to town.

    Well i had made a request for an early check in since i was to arrive in malindi very early in the morning. A request that was approved in writing only to be kept waiting while being taken round in circles for 4 hours. Apparently the approval was just a facade no communication was made to the staff! Quite inconveniencing.

    The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. My wife also had a meal here and she liked the food.

    The biggest problem for us was how noisy it is. Whether day or night time, there's music playing, which you easily hear from the rooms. So it feels more like a bar then a hotel where people can get rest and some sleep. Aside from that, we were happy with everything else.

    The breakfast was poorly served by already unmotivated fatigued staff who never cared about cleanliness of the tables after use by customers.

    Compromised cleanliness of the facility. The room had rationed water supply There was no WiFi service in the room other than the open dining area outside.

    Only the locatiion

    I recently concluded my stay at a hotel with subpar customer service. Despite having requested a late check-out, which was confirmed during the booking process, I was unexpectedly asked to vacate the premises. The breakfast experience was disappointing, featuring stale food and impolite waitstaff lacking basic courtesy. Furthermore, the hotel claimed to provide in-room WIFI, but unfortunately, this service was nonexistent. Overall, my experience was marred by the hotel's poor customer service and unmet expectations in various aspects.
