A convenient business hotel
Pros:

The hotel is good for a classic business stopover, localted right in the middle of Kisumu, which makes it very convenient for accessing a wide array of services such as supermarkets, money changers, and restaurants.

The staff is friendly, efficient and professional, and rooms have all the basic amenities. The breakfast was nice, with a good variety of local and continental dishes.

Cons:

The main sore point of the hotel is related to its location near markets and night clubs with very loud music. If you are noise sentivie, you might want to look elsewhere.
