  Comments from Utopians:

  "What a great place! Very nice rooms. Excellent pool. Kim, the owner, is very helpful and caring. Most of the staff are friendly. Good breakfast. Great location!" -- beyourhero, Aug 6, 2010

  "I stayed at the Manor House for 5 days. The hotel is in a quiet street not far from the Independence Monument. There is good security and I felt safe and looked after. The staff organised a tuk-tuk for the duration of my stay which was an absolute luxury - took me where I wanted to go, day and night. He waited for me and gave me advice on where to eat and places to shop. The Manor House staff are friendly and helpful. Greg and Kim do all they can to make their guests feel welcome." -- ghekko62, Mar 31, 2010

  "Manor House has clean, spacious rooms and friendly management. The owners helped me find my way around the city to the places I wanted to visit. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit." -- Jonn, Nov 1, 2009
