The Atana Hotel was a great place to stay. Very helpful staff who were very friendly. The location was close to the metro.
There is a fantastic gym and swimming pool which can make it a good place to stay if you just want to relax.
The room was immaculate and cleaned every day at a time that was convenient for the guest which was good as I slept in most mornings.
There is a desk in the hotel that will arrange trips for you and I took the opportunity to book a safari and it was done perfectly...

8/10 Good
The price was good and the location is great. However I was surprised by there being a fee taken on the deposit. There was no mention of this when booking, they only tell you once booked, so beware.
The sheets on the bed weren't great, they didn't fit properly, so the sheets kept coming off the mattress. Also the sheet didn't fit the duvet, so the bedding isn't great. The place is a little tired, the carpet grubby and some of the fixtures and fittings need attention.
Other than that,...
