“Wonderful staff and a perfect place to stay for couples or families.”
The staff were simply wonderful. Went out of their way to help myself, my partner and our daughter enjoy our stay visiting family. Arranged two buffet meals at short notice for our family of up to 20 people and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Made the sheltered area by the pool look beautiful for us too. The food was mostly wonderful. Buffet breakfast was great with a nice selection. Our family room was very large and comfortable. Kevin and the chef were stars.

“I always enjoy staying here, it provides a comfortable, home-like experience.”
The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The location is ideal, set in a quiet area while still being easily accessible to many facilities within Kisumu town. The staff are generally welcoming and friendly, especially the security and front office teams. However, the restaurant staff came across as less warm, and a more friendly approach would greatly improve the overall experience.

“A superb hotel in a lovely location at a very good price.”
The staff especially Elizabeth, were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was very good with 2 large beds for myself and my daughter. We were allowed to book in early as our flight arrived early in the morning. We were able to stay until our early evening flight. The breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice. We had some evening meals there and they were excellent. The bar area provided a lovely view of evening sunsets. It’s not far from the Impala Sanctuary - we walked there. The taxi driver, Gideon, who picked us up when we arrived, was helpful and took us to various places on other days.

Good Food. Nice staff. Breakfast is really good too. Styling of the hotel far far better than the modern concrete boxes offered close by.
