LGGH a place to stay when in Kisumu
Pros:

It's a beautiful place though transport can be difficult to get there or from there without prior arrangements

Cons:

The first night the linens and room smelt quite stuffy. But the second night, we were supplied fresh linens and the room was fresh too after cleaning.

Quiet restful stay
Pros:

This is a pleasant, quiet place with friendly helpful staff. We requested to extend our stay because I got sick, but we ended up just doing it there at the desk. We received an upgrade and our room was very spacious.

Cons:

We never had hot water the whole 5 nights we were there. They sent someone to check it out, but it still didn't work. We enjoyed having a restaurant on the premises, though it was a little pricey.

Best surprise in Kisumu - Beautiful and Serene
Pros:

This was the biggest surprise I have ever encountered. The Serene and calm atmosphere is just out of this world. The staff are the best, always willing to help and assist us. The room was spacious and the dining experience was top quality. I really enjoyed my stay there even though I booked it randomly. I am definitely going to stay there the next time I visit. This is the best surprise in Kisumu.

Cons:

Just need a bin in the loo
