Three areas of improvement include a larger lobby, adding a bar for those who wish to relax with a drink, and providing parking for the guests.

The staff, including Judith at the Reception, Evans, the chef, and the security team, were exceptionally hospitable and professional, ensuring a delightful stay with freshly prepared meals. The rooms, meticulously maintained by the housekeeping team, are both clean and well-appointed, making them perfect for both business and leisure travelers. Additionally, the soundproof windows provide a serene environment, even for rooms facing the bustling Oginga Odinga Street. I highly recommend this venue to both returning and first-time guests visiting the lakeside city of Kisumu.

Kisumu ber!

Everything about my stay at the Imperial Hotel Express was wonderful. Nestled in the middle of everything, this property is extremely convenient to anyone visiting Kisumu. Everything I needed to take care of was within 3 blocks. Staff are always available to answer questions and provide assistance. Security is ever present at the front door. Breakfast is good. Room TV wasn't great (only 8 stations!) and I was told there were no other stations available although the menu lists about 300 satellite stations. No biggie, because the nightclub around the corner was hopping. Would definitely stay here again.

The breakfast is good and fruits, cereal, coffe, milk, bread, rice, beans, sausages. The area is commercial. Crossing the street they have a super market.

Too much noise from the neighborhood

In general, the hotel was good; however, the nights were annoyingly noisy stemming from neighborhood bars and clubs. These bars and clubs played LOUD music all night long! I had a difficult time getting to sleep and staying asleep. I don't know the management can do about this.

This is a good mid-priced hotel in Kisumu.

Hotel in the center of town, very clean, efficient, with a Breakfast very well prepared and with variety. The rooms are clean, if a little clinical. From the check in clientele, it is a business persons hotel during the week. There is a club on the side facing the street, so ask for one opposite as the music goes well into the night. Breakfast was a full one served buffet style. Beds were clean and neat as was the bathroom. Excellent stay. Staff was excellent. If one is American, please speak slowly and do not intimidate them. There is (unfortunately) security. They are strict at first, but once they know you, they let you through without examination (!!).

Modern City Centre Hotel

This is a brand new city centre hotel in great condition with clean well equipped rooms for a short stay. It is an \"Express\" hotel, thus the rooms are more compact than some other hotels, and wardrobe space limited. However, the bathroom facilities are first class. As is security.
The staff are fantastic and quick to respond to requests.

Prima hotel voor 1 nacht

Het is heel schoon, veilig en comfortabel. De kamers zijn wel erg klein voor 2 personen met koffers. Verder is het belangrijk om te weten dat je alleen ontbijt kunt krijgen. Prima hotel als je op doorreis bent. We hebben er 1 nacht geslapen met kinderen. Voor een langer verblijf zou ik iets anders zoeken.
