Central Hotel Kano Review

I was passing thru Kano from Yobe , going to Lagos . I had to go by road to Kano before taking a flight to Lagos because of the insecurity around Maiduguri road.
We stayed in Grand Central Hotel. Despite been an old hotel, it is well managed and maintained. The hotel is neat and well structured. The positioning is also.goid because commuting from the hotel to the airport was very easy. We went to town easily by boarding keke directly infront of the hotel.

It offers everything we needed and it was the best hotel place we lodged thru out the trip

Spent a weekend here and I must say that first of all, the staff and management of this hotel are cordial and warm. Always want to be sure the guests are ok.
Reservations are advised for weekends so you don't end up with a 'fully booked' situation. Bookings usually come bundled as bed and breakfast. The structure of the building is just lovely and you'd not hesitate to take out your phones. Don't worry, they are friendly. They'd allow photos as long as they aren't disturbing other guests.

Once you get in, the first thing that strikes you is the interior style. Never seen anything like it. It is fashioned like a library with real books of all sorts; fiction, educative, etc. There are chairs lined up where you can sit and read something. It's just lovely and phenomenal. The general restaurant operates till very very late at night in the even you are having a late night. Wheelchair accessibility is quite impressive though the elevator could be better if it had more room. It is just wide enough for straight in and out. Had a nice stay. It is quite central in town and easy to go places from there.

Its okay.. some few improvements would be great but apart from that great service...

It was my saving grace as a first timer in Kano on day that all hotels were booked out already, the male receptionist was kind enough to fix me a room by 2:13am that I got to the hotel

Cozy n homely. An old hotel that has moved with the times.

One of the Best hotel in kano, Very comfortable accomodation and nice breakfast

Good for meetings and conferences . Nice place to be

Facilities are getting old but still a good hotel for a meeting or workshop

Beautiful hotel with nice architectural buildings. You may think you are in a library when at the lobby which is decorated with books from all works of life. Entering the hotel may make anyone feel the place is not secure but the feeling will he forgotten on entering the hotel. However, the hotel does not provide the best services. The front desk staff tries to be professional but the kitchen staff need basic training and the hotel needs to up their mode of operation. The kitchen also needs insect traps to keep flies away from the there and from food. There is a Chinese restaurant whish looms beautiful from outside and guess will serve good meal too. The hotel has a swimming pool and several halls for meetings and events. The rooms are basic and clean but needs renovation as some ceilings are falling down in some places. Old wares in the room also need to be replaced. There is internet service but not sure how good it is as I was never given a password to access it.

Real desire you look for stay..room food ambiance price all are good. I loved the decor maintenance

The hotel needs to be renovated, acquire new beddings, fix your electrical appliances and fumigate the rooms and environment against mosquitoes.

Grand Central Hotel, Kano, is arguably one of the most luxurious hotels within the Kano metropolis. It is, as it's name suggests, centrally located in the city. It is not cheap to be here, as far as the average Nigerian is concerned. It is, however, worth the money. Their beds are luscious and clean, there's power round the clock, the lift works well, bathrooms are arrayed with toiletries that include bathing soap, lotion, and tissue paper. The furniture within the rooms are top notch. Room service seems to take less time to take food orders and service same. I will recommend Grand Central Hotel to anyone who is in Kano and can afford room rates. You will get the needed quality time of rest and value for money. And as they say in the Hausa language, sannu da zuwa. Enjoy Kano and don't leave without seeing historically important sites within the city.

I lodged for a night and it seems their price is okay but some of the facilities needs to be rehabilitated. They have a good looking environment

Easy to locate, airy, friendly staff and nice food!

Affoedable pricing, but the management needs to do more on maintenance. Facilities in the hotel are deteriorating in many places, especially the annex builing.

This hotel has the potential to be the ultimate 5 star in northern Nigeria. Potential, if harnessed.

The biggest hotel in Kano with modern facilities. Your comfort is guaranteed.

There is water in the evening, there is no water in the morning, the water is very dirty, the rooms are very dirty. One of my staff couldn't have breakfast so I didn't too

There was no water in the evening and in the morning the breakfast was terrible the rooms a very dirty place, cleaning off the water no water 7 starts and a total of 5 hours .5 TA zero that there's some sort of breakfast, too, so they give up, they want to own as much as you want and you can't get if you have two people in the same room, for breakfast they give you a personality, therefore I didn't have breakfast one of my staff he couldn 't

Big and historical but has a whole lot to improve on.
A lot of tress and flowers provide good shades and clean air.
Cool and quite.

The shower is more well lit than the rooms.
The meals, and variety of meals, are just manageable, nothing spectacular.
Wardrobes and cupboards could be repaired and more hangers provided.
WiFi didn t work despite trying it at different locations during my stay.
Mosquitoes should be controlled - Dan to many around there.

I was reli impressed the rooms are neat and gd sized

The place is amazing, and j gotta tell ya, the air conditioner their is 3 Horse power i think voz is incredible.

It has all the necessary facilities and,the services is good

One of the best hotels in the state. Service is impeccable.

Parts of the hotel under renovation so access is not hitch free. Minimal parking spaces. Decent service and staff are helpful and polite.

It is a very nice place to be. It is very big, it is good for event, good for lodging, their workers are accommodating and friendly.

One of the best Kano hotel. The arts, foods and the reception they r giving is a worthwhile.

D place was really cool and amazing.. No disturbances and d staffs are very warm and wellcoming. I love it, though d price is a bit much, bt its comfortable.

I enjoyed my stay in this Hotel during 5 days Workshop on Paralegalism

Attending mega seminar of BF SUMA pharmaceutical company inc. U S A. Kano branch office. @ Grand central Hotel Kano. At exactly 10:00am Sunday 7/4/2019

It was interesting, I was there on several occasions especially in expertising for Rana activity. However, there's never a time I was serve with " fura" nor "Nono" nor .... Upon being it in Kano, " ko da me Ka zo ...." Remarkable!

Good structure, can do better with AC and lighting

One of the best place to be in Kano so serene and quite try it when you are in Kano
