R & K Guest Palace

The location is quite a good one within a quiet neighborhood. Can’t say the same about the room you will get because both times I visited the hotel, construction work to expand the facility was ongoing so there was noise within the building. Not bad enough to cause a major disturbance except your aim was to stay indoors all day. Getting checked in can take a while. Not sure why it took over 20 mins each time. Never tried their food or Wi-Fi. Rooms are decent but for a hotel that’s relatively new (compared to Kano classics), I fear for its long term maintenance given the way some fittings in the newer sections are holding out. I’ll keep staying here in the meantime but if service deterioration starts, I’m switching.

I visited last month ( June). It was pretty busy as the flight I came into Kano had a couple of passengers from my flight at the same hotel lobby also trying to check in, ( I took that as a good sign) as this was my first trip to Kano. Rooms were moderately priced, rooms are "ok-sized". Clean and no weird smells. AC and TV worked just fine. Breakfast is not complimentary. You need to pay for it, the food was nice though. Meal choices were limited, as not everything listed on the menu was available. So I ended up just having to select from what was available which wasn't much. On the whole great place for the price and suitable for a short stay, any longer and I would have been frustrated with the limited menu choice or resort to looking for restaurants outside the hotel. It rained through the night on my 3rd night, there obviously is a leak somewhere as I had a constant dripping sound all through but no obvious water dripping in the room.
