    The room was worth the money, comfortable bed and a lovely window seat. The location was great, surrounded by beautiful flora and birds. The staff treated us with exceptional care and made us feel welcome and pampered throughout our stay.

    The breakfast option could be improved with a wider variety of vegetarian choices.

    The value for money at this hotel is excellent, with comfortable rooms and a beautiful location. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay memorable.

    The breakfast option could be improved by providing more variety in the menu.

    Breakfast is stellar, the availability of people to accompany guests on the street is an excellent feature.

    Concierge is not properly trained and borderline inept. Very limited in ability to provide service. Be careful that hotel third parties deliver the same person as promised and don't bait and switch guide to driver.

    Breakfast with several options and well served. The restaurant Tatou is a must and not to be missed.

    The price is too high for what is offered. The transportation from the hotel is very expensive.

    After a long haul flight, Fairmont The Norfolk provides a convenient location to relax before embarking on an energetic safari. Visitors can easily visit the elephant orphanage and Giraffes. Guests attending conferences will appreciate the hotel's proximity to delegates. The rooms are well-appointed with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. The staff go above and beyond to provide exceptional service, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast is delicious with a variety of options to choose from. The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped and provide a peaceful atmosphere.

    One negative aspect is the occasional lack of attentive service at the pool bar.
