I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! The room was impeccably clean, and I felt right at home. The dining services were top-notch, although I wish they had a bit more variety. The location in Machakos town turned out to be convenient and safe for walking around late at night. However, the slow service at the rooftop restaurant was quite disappointing; they definitely need to improve that. Overall, it's a lovely stay with a few areas that need some attention.

This hotel has a modern and clean vibe, with spacious rooms and great amenities. Although the restaurant offers good buffets, the service can be painfully slow, and the food doesn't always match the description. On the downside, there's a lot of noise from the nearby nightclub, which can disrupt the otherwise comfortable stay. Overall, it’s a decent place but has room for improvement in service and dining.

The hotel has a lot of potential with its clean and spacious rooms and friendly staff, but there are several areas that need improvement. The Wi-Fi was incredibly poor, making it difficult to stay connected, and there were some issues with the room amenities that dampened the experience. Overall, if the hotel can address these concerns, it could offer great value for money.

My stay at Gelian was a mixed bag. On one hand, the staff was genuinely helpful and made my experience more enjoyable, but there were several issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. The location was convenient, but the noise levels at night were unbearable. The food was very basic, and the amenities fell short of expectations.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious but faced significant noise disturbances due to nearby bars and churches. The AC was poorly positioned, making adjusting room temperature tricky.
