The room was very clean, and the staff were amazing, starting with the security officer outside. He greeted us on arrival and offered to take our suitcases inside. 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.

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.
