Liked: Amenities
Nice people, but I had to ask for anything including what I thought would be basic. There was no toilet paper, soap. I thought housekeeping would do their job when I place the ‘make my room’ placard at the door. They did not until I called front desk who told me I need to leave the key at the desk as an indication I needed housekeeping. When they finally made my room on day 2 of stay, they did not leave toilet paper behind until I asked. TV remote was not working. I called front desk at 9am , nobody showed up. I called again at 3pm and nobody showed up. I walked downstairs asking for manager- only then did someone respond. Here, you need to ask and ask, don’t assume. Otherwise you get what you pay for and being in the city center where rooms can go up to $2000 a night, a 24$ room is a miracle. Close to everything

After the safari I showered and rested until my late night flight. Room is not nice shape but ok because it is old building but it was clean, has comfortable bed and clean sheets. Location is very good and not dangerous. I could walking around alone without any worries. As a budget hotel I am very satisfied with Hotel Embassy. Especially the staffs were the most kind and friendly people I’ve ever met in Africa.
