Overall Good

The staff at the M Hotel was helpful and kind. Noise was a factor as it in on a busy road and there is no sound-proofing. A beach shuttle was advertised but there was no beach shuttle readily available during my stay. After some consternation, the manager did very kindly arrange for a tuk-tuk to take me. She was trying to remove the promise of the shuttle from the online posting. All the staff I met were helpful and friendly.

Do not stay at Hotel Mbezi. It is shocking. The rooms were smelly and there was no water in the morning. The hotel did not even know we were arriving as they don't check their bookings.

Thumbs Up

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The Manager was very nice and attended to any situation we had. The staff was very nice too and friendly, food was delicious. The only complaint I have is that the shower needs a little updating. The rooms are cleaned every day and bottled water supplied, laundry is available for a fee. Overall really enjoyed our stay, despite the power going off, but hey its Africa. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Stay was fine. Good size room. Food from restaurant in the evening was really nice! Receptionist wearing headscarf was so warm and welcoming. She asked staff to make us breakfast in the morning as leaving very early before breakfast time which was very much appreciated! Thank you. Water was fairly coldish despite turning on hot. Air con wasn’t strong but you can turn on fan to highest level.
