Review Highlights

Pros:
Friendly, helpful and attentive staff (named concierge praised)
Rooms described as comfortable, clean and well designed
Excellent breakfast and attentive chef (gluten-free accommodation noted)
Good range of amenities: restaurants, wellness centre, garden and business/conference space
Convenient for airport and nearby attractions (Giraffe Centre, shops)

At least one report of concierge arranging an overpriced taxi (perceived rip-off)

Noise from the nearby ring road and occasional corridor noise
Some guests found the property impersonal and focused on short-stay revenue

Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Rooms repeatedly described as spotless, clean and well designed; several guests explicitly praised the room cleanliness.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently praised as friendly, attentive and helpful (specific shout-outs to Charles and Said), although one report criticised concierge integrity.
Location
8
Convenient for the airport and attractions like the Giraffe Centre, but proximity to a busy ring road and some reports of traffic noise reduce the score.
Room Quality
9
Rooms described as great, comfortable, new and well designed; multiple guests highlighted comfort and modern rooms.
Amenities
8.4
Good range of amenities (restaurants, wellness centre, garden, business space, pool and patio) though the pool was noted as not heated by some guests.
Value for Money
7
Mixed signals: generally fine for a transit/full-service hotel, but at least one guest reported being overcharged by concierge and a sense the property pushes revenue maximisation.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Breakfast was repeatedly praised (wide variety, omelettes, fruit, pastries) and staff/chef attentiveness (including gluten-free accommodations) earned positive mentions; Carnivore dinner noted as fun.
Overall Experience
7.9
Many guests reported a very positive or wonderful stay with friendly staff and comfortable rooms, but issues like noise and a serious concierge complaint tempered the overall impression.

Todo bien
Pros:

Hotel a unos 15 minutos del aeropuerto (depende del trafico) muy cómodo y funcional.
Al principio pensaba que estaría un poco en medio de la nada pero al final con Uber no es problema para ir a los distintos puntos de la ciudad.
El desayuno muy completo, la cama muy cómoda, todo bien
Use el servicio de spa para un masaje después del safari que fue muy agradable , lo recomiendo

Cons:

Nada
