Great location near several embassies and the UN. The room was clean and the pool area is a nice option to relax and hear birds chirping. Wifi was a bit unpredictable during night time. Very pleasant staff. Overall great price value, recommended

Poor internet connection and Orchid is not providing transport to its guests

The house was quiet and clean and the staff easy going and friendly. Four of my five breakfasts I ate alone, but on the last morning I had the fascinating company of a Sudanese guest who attended a meeting at the UN compound.
The location was perfect for me, as it was 8 minutes walking from a CrossFit gym where I could train early in the morning - same place where one can buy handcraft and eat or drink throughout the day, and 15 minutes walking from the UN compound, where I was attending a workshop.
On the last day I could check out in the morning before going to my meeting, and leave my bag in the reception until I could pick it up in the afternoon, which was convenient.

Returning to Orchid Homes felt like returning home! A simple but lovely guest house, location is ideal for access to the UN Compound, and an easy walk to Craft Centre or Village Market. Wifi works well, staff is friendly, rooms are clean.

The service of Orchid Homes is very bad. The taxi we ordered with Orchid did not arrvive at the airport.The breakfast was hardly eatable. The ambiance of the staff was not very symphatic exept for the doorman. The house is old. The pool is very tiny and not inviting because its not behind the house but in front.Ofcourse by leaving we were supposed to give a tip while the place is already far to expensive for what they offer.

We very much enjoyed the location and the facilities. Maggie was extremely friendly and Susan (online) was very helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable and included mosquito nets. The bathroom is basic, but clean and correct. The hotel is greatly located in a safe area in Gigiri, where you can safely walk even at night to Village Market.

My wife and I are seniors. They gave us a room in the attic. Two flights of stairs with no lift and no help.
The room had no internet and we did not want to go down again to complain. There is no phone in the room.
It was freezing and no heating.

A nice old mansion, very quiet. The pool was too cold to swim in.
