The hotel is conveniently located in Lamu old town, very close to the port with a lovely view of the sea. The rooms are modern and spacious, but the air conditioning could be more efficient. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the dining experience offers the best meat dishes. However, the price for the shuttle service is a bit high.

The hotel is situated right by the sea, very close to the port in Lamu's old town. It offers a central location with both pros and cons. The rooms feature private verandas, which add value to the stay, yet there are some areas needing improvement. The service is commendable, although there may be room for enhancement. Dining, especially the homemade ice-cream, is a highlight, but there is still room to expand the menu. The facilities are satisfactory, catering to various needs and preferences.

My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. While the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options, the overall atmosphere was fantastic. The location was perfect, right by the sea and close to the hustle and bustle of Lamu old town. One minor drawback was the need to pay for Wi-Fi separately.
