Njabulo M. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL
Dear Njabulo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi – MGallery Collection, and for choosing to celebrate your anniversary with us. While we are pleased that you found the hotel beautiful and enjoyed several aspects of your stay, we are truly sorry that your overall experience did not meet your expectations, especially on such a special occasion. We sincerely apologize that the anniversary arrangements you had communicated in advance were not prepared as expected. This is particularly disappointing to read, as special celebrations are moments we aim to make memorable for our guests. Please accept our heartfelt apologies for this oversight. We are also sorry to hear about the challenges during arrival and check-in, particularly after coordinating your airport pickup and arrival time. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for your room despite the prior communication, and we will review this internally with our reservations and front office teams to ensure better coordination in the future. Additionally, we regret the housekeeping lapse when your room was not serviced the following day. This is certainly not the level of attention we strive to provide, and your feedback will be shared with our housekeeping team to reinforce our service standards. On a positive note, we are glad to know that you appreciated the room itself, breakfast selection, WiFi, and the beauty of the property, and that your departure experience was smooth. As a valued ALL – Accor Live Limitless Classic member, your experience is very important to us. We truly hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the seamless and thoughtful stay you originally expected, especially for special occasions. Warm regards, Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi- MGallery Collection!
