A sanctuary within a busy large town. Very clean and super helpful Staff. The food, whether breakfast, lunch or supper was delicious and tasty. On the flip side, in areas it was tired and out of 3 different rooms, the shower/ bath combo always wanted to leak. All in all, a very good hotel to rest and recuperate after scaling Mt Kilimanjaro

Comfortable room but several issues

Several issues. Firstly the fridge and the TV in the room did not work properly and full credit to the staff that they fixed these issues. Two other important issues 1) unusable internet and 2) the air conditioning kept cutting out. I raised these issues with the hotel but nothing changed.
