    serene oasis
    friendly staff
    basic amenities
    slow service

    Straight facts, no fluff

    I found the grounds quite impressive, providing a serene oasis amidst the hustle of the city. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome. Breakfast options were decent, although service could be improved. Rooms offer basic amenities but lack some modern touches. A mixed experience overall, but worth considering if you're after tranquility.

    garden oasis
    attentive staff
    outdated amenities
    room issues

    What you’ll love and what you won’t

    The tranquil garden is a delightful escape and perfect for morning strolls. The staff members are very polite and attentive, enhancing the overall experience.

    The lack of tea-making facilities and TV issues detracted from my stay. Also, the older rooms could benefit from a refresh.

    beautiful gardens
    peaceful atmosphere
    children's playground
    water issues
    lukewarm showers

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the peaceful atmosphere. The nearby children's playground was a hit with everyone. Just a heads up, though, the breakfast service can be slow, and the rooms could use better lighting.

    One downside was the water issues. we often dealt with lukewarm showers, which was quite inconvenient.

    peaceful gardens
    traditional food
    ethiopian dancing
    staff attitude

    Lovely gardens and good eats!

    I stayed 10 nights and really liked the peaceful gardens. The outdoor dining area had great traditional food and was a nice spot for Ethiopian dancing, so much fun! A slight bummer was the attitude from some staff, like they own the place. Just weird after all these years, but still a nice vibe overall.

    good value for a simple stay

    The Junior Suite offered a spacious layout and comfortable bed. The staff were noticeably more attentive, which made my stay enjoyable. Additionally, the breakfast setup has improved, making it easier to enjoy a morning meal surrounded by greenery.

    The overall experience felt quite basic, lacking some modern amenities.

    outdoor swimming pool
    kind staff

    This place suits me perfectly, providing free wi-fi, a lovely outdoor swimming pool, and a fantastic restaurant. I still remember how the staff kindly returned my forgotten shower bag. I'd recommend enjoying coffee at the lounge area!

    beautiful gardens
    vibrant flowers
    easy navigation
    accessibility issues
    limited amenities

    I truly enjoyed the beautiful gardens filled with vibrant flowers, which were a delightful space for relaxation and casual strolls. The layout was convenient for seniors, making it easy to navigate the hotel and access amenities.

    More accessible amenities for seniors would be beneficial.

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    kind of dim
    lukewarm water
    limited power outlets

    The room was spacious but felt a bit old school. Hot water was hit or miss, sometimes lukewarm which was annoying. Not great lighting made it kind of dim at night. I appreciated the comfy bed, though! A bit of a hassle with limited power outlets—had to juggle plugs. No safe in the room either, which was a bit concerning. Overall, it was okay for the price, just some outdated vibes.
