This looks like a brother. I had to book another hotel and left. It’s not clean and the photos do not reflect the actual condition of this hotel
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

1-night trip

6/10 Good

this was fine for a short stay at a budget rate. the location is safe and quiet and the place is clean, but there were no Covid protections in place. The studios have no phone to reception, toiletries and water are not replaced, and staff not particularly attentive. Not a single staff wore a mask except on request.

6/10 Good

not so great
Not too bad accommodation but aircon was not working, shower curtain and mould smell from the bathroom. Seems to have been a very good place previously needs a little bit more attention, lacks that hotel feel.
Ronnie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A Japanese traveler who stayed here
This hotel is very comfortable. The staffs are very kind. You can ask questions you have on your trip. Especially, Mr. Aditya, front office manager, told me how to go to other cities. In addition, I was very peased with meals in this hotel's restaurant. You can eat not only local foods but also Indian and Chinese ones. I can reccomend this hotel with confidence.

2/10 Poor

Tråkigt i Malawi
Ett konferenshotell som var ett av de tråkigaste ställen jag varit på. Det fanns absolut ingenting att göra. Matsalen var ett skämt för den inredningsintresserade. Det stod att det skulle finnas pool, men där fick vi tji.

2/10 Poor

WORST STAY EVER
Staff didn't really understand English. Breakfast was rubbish No WLAN Powershortcut led to a roaring generator at night. Light in my room went on and couldn't be shut down. No switch for it my room. It was bright like daylight. The aircon was absolutely not bearable. Loud and not properly working. This hotel won't see me again!!!

4/10 Fair

別にリバービーチが見えるわけでもない。
従業員は素朴で礼儀も正しい、Friendlyである。素朴な感じ ただ、設備が不十分。（トイレの便座もなかったし.....ヨーロッパスタンダード？)
