    Run down, poor value hotel
    This hotel would have been fine at the Kenyan rate of $30 but I paid $80+ after tax. Paint peeling in bathroom, tiny room, noisy, right next to mosque so you hear calk to pray loudly at 4 am. Definitely a ripoff.

    Very disappointed. Won't be r    …

    "All rooms are good. Balcony one being the best."
    "Don't stay here."
    "Try to get a room in the back of the building, street front rooms are subject to all the noise from traffic and night life."
    "wifi was free but we didn't use it"
    "The rooms on the eastern side like Room 218 which I have stayed are quieter."
