“Dirty, Dangerous, Food Poisoning and Disappointment”
The history side of the property was interesting and the sunset view is lovely but probably the only good thing about the place

“WORST EXPERIENCE !!! BE AWARE OF TICKS !!!”
First night at this Africa House hotel: got bitten by tick from the bed !!! Had to spend 2hours at hospital for tick removal, now I fear potential disease because the doctor told me to be very careful during the next week and to monitor. The risk is to get infected by Lime disease. The manager did not even want at least to make a discount!!!! He did not even spoke to me directly. And he even dared to say that no risk existed from being bitten by a tick contrary to what the doctor told me! If you want to keep your health safe, never go to this hotel!!!

A charming colonial building that oozes history: it provides discomforts in all manner, and is definitely an unforgettable experience.
