lively place with a good mix of people
, best breakfast one can dream
rooms a bit small but functional and clean
friendly costumer service ( takes time to check out so do not be in a hurry when leaving)

There are relatively few Chinese guests staying in this hotel, but it has a very high rating on TripAdvisor, ranking seventh in Africa. I deliberately experienced it with the mentality of learning and exploration. First of all, this hotel is indeed very unique. Just like its name, it is a real club style. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, open, young and avant-garde. The decoration is rough industrial style but yet refined, and the furnishings are also full of design. A standard small boutique hotel. It is especially suitable for young people, especially friends who are engaged in new media, because there are theme parties here basically every day, and you can meet many Internet celebrities and various experts from Africa and other countries here! The food is delicious, the coffee is delicious (they bake it themselves), and the bedding and mattresses are very comfortable. Although the hotel is not large, the hygiene standards are really high, and the hardware is very well maintained! The service concept is also different from most hotels. It is very relaxed. Everyone is a social master and allows you to integrate quickly. Every staff member chats with you like an old friend or neighbor and can remember each guest's profile. Special taste preferences (for example, if you ask for a certain condiment or food on the first day, they will proactively and naturally serve it to you when you eat the next day!!!) It is unbelievable that there are so many guests, and they seem to all How can I remember when I’m so busy😅? ! ! If you want to make new friends and like big parties, choose this hotel! ! ! But you have to book in advance, it’s normal to be fully booked!

I will definitely come back for a holiday stay I like the hotel concept, and the room was awesome. I didn’t have the time to enjoy all the hotel had to offer, but would love to on another visit.

Innovative hotel which does not forget the basics
Loved the ambiance and the attention to detail in the room. In-room dining ordering through the TV worked in some cases and did not at other times. The staff are wonderful and helpful! Breakfast was really good, they had a nice mix of local and international options. The only thing is it was a bit noisy at night.

Loved the Hotel and Staff were amazing. Have stayed 3 times and it’s my preferred choice. All restaurants are excellent and food quality & variety was great. Only place I’d walk to is the chameleon next door. Car service is great at the property
