If all you look for in a hotel is an average comfort bed, no room service, broken phone, dysfunctional and not very clean bathrooms, and no internet in your room then this is the place for you. And it's not even cheap. And check in is EXTREMELY slow + they ask you for a cash advance when you check in.... More

I have been in this hotel for the past 2 days as a conference organiser. It has all you would expect from a large hotel but the decor looks a little tired and in need of refreshing. The staff were helpful and the food quite acceptable. If you are travelling in Africa this would be considered quite acceptable and average,... More

I am a white SAfrican speaking English and a little French. I have the misfortune to be accommodated in this hotel on a monthly basis as we are over 30 crew members who arrive to work at once and the company requires a facility which has available rooms at a moment's notice.

The swimming pool is good, the outdoors and indoors restaurants are good as well. The staff is very friendly, speaking french certainly helps. Of... More

I stayed twice at sawa on a bussiness trip. The interior of hotel is quite old and needs an upgrade. Personal is very friendly especially if you speak french. There is a large swimming pool and food can be served outside by the pool 24/7. I didn't like that they seem to have random prices in the bar... Overall i... More

An update on my previous review - I went back to Sawa and must say that there was a slight improvement. Shower curtains have finally been placed in the bathrooms which means that one can shower and not only bath. No change on TV channels or breakfast.
