The place has a unique atmosphere. We stayed at a junior suite and it was very clean and comfortable. The kraken (bar and restaurant) has such an amazing vibe with great service. Pool wasn’t clean as expected, pool bar was closed and seating area around the pool is very poor and very uncomfortable tanning beds.

Overall average

Location practical because not far from airport. 4 star hotel ... I wonder what is the rule ? It is a 3 star max. Breakfast is not what it should be in terms of choice and quality. No real cafe, only Nescafé machine... friendly service which does with what they have. (Shuttle to airport but impossible to get a recipe for the money spend as an example) Good tip in the country to avoid this, use Uber : much cheaper than normal taxi and we will get an invoice. Vue from room was nice (see picture) but better keep the window close to avoid all the smel from the kitchen.

Water problems

My second time staying here in two weeks. Arrived late after work and had to depart early for the airport (3am). This is the reason to use this hotel. I was shown to one of the newly refurbished rooms, which is lovely. Unfortunately when it came to leave the water in the shower could not be regulated and the water was boiling. So no shower after a day of 32 F and 14 hrs travelling in store. Reception suggested I didn’t know how to use the taps!!! Pretty annoyed as paying city prices to be close to the airport. Maybe overreacting but a good bed and decent shower is the least expected at this price point. Africana will have to do better to get me back.

Hotel loin de toute commodité

Tres mauvaise accueil par le réceptionniste. Qui ne connaît pas son boulot. J'ai appris par la suite que c'est le comptable de l'hôtel. J'ai réglé la totalité de ma facture sur le site Hotels.com mais l'hôtel a refusé de me donner la chambre. Il me réclamait de payer en liquide. Sans l'aide de Hotels.com je n'aurais jamais eu ma chambre.
