    Very friendly staff, room service 24/7 which was good for us because we had an early wake up for a safari trip. The breakfast was very good!

    Check in staff very amiable, efficient and courteous - highly professional. Including the security checks at the gate, lobby and then front desk. Large, beautifully stately hotel. Decor in rooms a bit dated but also classically solid....
