### Blue Nile Resort

6.8/10

"A friend and I stayed at the blue Nile resort hotel, which has a stunning setting and views on the waters edge of lake Tana. It was a perfect spot to start our tour of lake Tana and Islands. The staff were helpful and it the buffet breakfast had a good selection. However the twin room was very small which had not been apparent in the photos online as I had thought it was a twin room with double beds not singles and there was no hot water."

"The property was not as advertised. The place appears a bit run-down and the rooms we stayed in had stained and partially broken toilet seats. We had to urgently make arrangements to secure alternative accommodation for our elderly mothers, which was extremely inconvenient. The hotel employee who was on duty was however very helpful and understanding, which we appreciated very well. He also contacted the hotel manager who was equally understanding and promised to process a refund for the room...

"Stayed for a short 3 night stay at the Kenzie rose garden and wish it had of been longer. Such a fantastic place. What immediately stood out for me was the beautiful smell and cleanliness of the foyer/reception area. This was a theme that carried on throughout the hotel. The rooms are immaculate with good facilities within including a fridge and complimentary safe. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast is of high quality and there was lots of choice. The pool area is fantastic and the gardens around it are very well maintained. The hotel is around a 15 walk to the medina/souks. If you are considering a break in Marrakesh the kenzi rose garden is a fantastic choice of accommodation, you won’t be disappointed. "
