Against all advises, I still took a chance to move in to Grand Holiday Villa. Things have changed. It is buzzling with business, clean environment and extremely professional and courteous staff. The management has and is trying to make it better. MOHSIN

We went there to see the place but didn't stay after seeing how dirty it appeared. The pool was green although people were inside it. We saw dead cockroaches on the pavements - not a good sign. It is truly a magnificent historic building - including a Churchill room - but honestly, we chose the Corinthian and were very happy... More

The joke was clearly on me. This classic colonial hotel is in fact a dirty, sweaty, hot (the AC was barely working) hotel with crappy service and no Internet. The swimming pool was snot green and the food was foul. Having said that Khartoum was fascinating for a visit and the location is great. The corinthia is also excellent next... More

This advertises itself as a 5 star hotel. In international terms, it's more like 2-3. The rooms are very variable -the first I stayed in had a bathroom you would expect in a 1-2 star hotel and the second had a filthy terrace that was bricked in. Bedding in the first room was stained, though the sheets appeared to be... More

I used to frequent this Hotel when it was still under the former management. The hotel claimed itself as a 5-star property. But if the room rate is taken as a yardstick, one would had better choose to stay in the neighboring Corinthia Hotel Khartoum or bring your business to Al-Salam Rotana, where for the same price, you can get...

I recently stayed in the Holiday Villa Hotel Khartoum. It is supposedly a 5-star hotel, but I am not sure how the star grading system operates in Sudan, because this hotel definitely does not offer 5-star facilities. The hotel looks quite impressive from the outside and the reception area is also reasonably attractive but there is a very musty smell.... More

The place itself is special, has a characteristic atmosphere, like a trip in the past, and is by the Nile. I used to like it very much. Rooms are very spacious, with high ceiling. It is really a shame that the the quality of services has gone down substantially over time, from a 4-star like service to a 2-star like... More
