The hotel offers spacious rooms with a Wanyama View, including a king-size bed, bunk beds, and some chairs. However, there is no soundproofing, unlike other Premier Inns I have visited. The price was reasonable for the room.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was really nice and comfy. I loved the separated part for the kids to sleep as well, and the rooms were very clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful at all times. The only issue was inconsiderate guests allowing their kids to make a lot of noise late into the night and disrupting our rest.

Service

7.0

The service was top-notch, making our trip really fun, especially for the kids. The hotel theming was great, and the view of the zebras in the morning was fantastic. Unfortunately, one employee was rude and turned us away, which was a downside considering the amount we paid for our stay.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location was convenient, right next to a park and close to the sea life center. The room initially assigned had a tiny window overlooking shrubbery, which was a bit disappointing.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. The Safari Bar Grill was far better than the disappointing Aztec Buffet. The buffet style provided a variety of food but was on par with other standard options. French products were a nice touch.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were nice overall, with a splash pool and changing rooms needing more attention to cleanliness. The availability of EV chargers was convenient.
