Very nice and friendly hotel with everything you need. The rooms are suites with one bedroom and one living room plus a small kitchen. Very hard beds, but that's better than too soft. Nice restaurant in the building offering room service if you like. But the best thing was the very helpful and friendly staff!

If getting the "basics" such as a working television, internet service, and the room sprayed for mosquitoes done in three days, this your type of "hotel"
Local staff is eager and friendly but can only do as much as they are allowed.
Don't bother trying to get hold of the guest relations manager, he DOES not excist!

as part of my safari this was my starting point so was booked in here for the eve. the staff were lovely esp the door man full of smiles. then i was shown the room and i had taken one step in and thought if i was examining this for a rental property id leave immidiately. the rooms are big and like a one bedroom flat; the kitchen was off putting at best, the bathroom clean and generous with water that works. the bed room large and good bed with a net. the lounge area tired and beyond shabby chique. the kitchen was for dinning was ok (staff lovely) and reedmed at breakfast; great spread. didnt do the pool and wifi was strong and free. no issues checking in or out. i would not stay here again despite lonely planet guide saying best value. location unsure to tired to venture out.

Just back from Africa, ending with 3 memorable days at the grand old Meridian Court.
Having read reviews before we left we were a little apprehensive about staying there, but found our experience absolutely excellent!
Sure, it's ageing and in need of some expenditure and work, but refurbishment was happening while we were there, and we didn't have any complaints at all. Our room (Standard Double) was huge, with seperate living room and kitchen, all staff were friendly and courteous, and meals were varied and beautiful ... and the afternoons at the poolside bar on the roof were sooo relaxing.
What more could you ask for at the price, and within walking distance of incredible shopping, that close to the city?
