My accidental stay at Hotel Rudi turned out to be a delightful highlight of my East Africa journey. The hotel is nestled in a peaceful area with a charming garden, and I was particularly impressed by the spacious and well-furnished rooms. Rudi's dedication as a host and the attentive staff made my stay feel personalized. The dining experience was superb with exquisite food and wines, although the variety could use a bit of expansion. Overall, it was excellent value for money, and I can't wait to return.
