We had a last-minute booking at this hotel, and despite some minor inconveniences like a leaking flush and a baby lizard in the room, we enjoyed a comfortable stay. The food was delightful, and the staff was incredibly humble, especially Zahid, who provided us with great guidance about local attractions. The kids loved the swimming pool, and while our safari didn't yield a lion sighting, it was still a relaxing getaway.
