The owners of the hotel need to post the right information on services they provide. There TV sets show only one channel whose translation is in Swahili and not everyone understands it.

Amazing place to be in, and very friendly people and safe. Busy place and near markets. All staff members including the manager are so friendly and very helpful. I have been there for many days, and I really enjoyed my stay. The food is delicious. My room was close to the road, and it can be noisy early hours of the morning due to people selling on the road, so I would recommend you request a room far away from the road side if you need to enjoy your mornings.
