Emmanuel G. ★★★★★ : I frequent DANKANI Hotel and I can tell you that it's pleasant. What I appreciate the most about DANKANI Hotel is that it keeps getting better by day. They are not settled for what they have. They want to make sure they are the Best. I strongly recommend DANKANI Hotel any day
Aliyu A. ★★★★★ : I was pleasantly surprise by the quality of the hotel, from reception area to dinning area and the room. For the top rooms or highest rooms recently renovated, I was satisfied, paint work, shower, and the hard mattress. Cleanliness of bathroom and sheets top notch. Initially on arrival there was no water, I went down and found the plumber working on it. I took the opportunity to discuss with him and went round to see the installations, treatment plant, booster pumps etc. The internet was fast, you will have to take login tokens at the reception. You logged out quickly whenever you step out from your block or when power source is switched from Generator to public utility. Going back to the accommodation, I had dinner 🍽 for which we delayed ordering as our host promised to bring food. He brought it to the dinning when our order was just coming out. We were not allowed to eat in the dinning as policy, the food brought from outside, so we had to take together with our order to my room . I recommend this hotel for anybody coming to sokoto at this period, May 2026. I hereby attach a silent video of the stair area, corridor and the room.

I'm ★★★★★ : A very nice, quiet place. I really enjoyed my stay. Sharp services.
Huzaifa J. ★★★★★ : PUBLIC COMPLAINT TO SOLECARE HOTEL, SOKOTO As someone who respects good service and hospitality, I feel it is important to inform you that the major problem with Solecare Hotel is not the building or the facilities — the problem is your staff, especially those at the reception. Your staff do not respect customers, they do not show courtesy, and they do not understand the value of treating guests with dignity. Anyone who comes to a hotel is looking for comfort and proper service, not disrespect and frustration. A hotel where staff lack customer respect is a hotel that is destroying its own business from within. Guests do not return to a place where they were treated poorly — and this has now become a common issue at your hotel. I strongly call on the management to take immediate action: – Train your staff on proper customer service and hospitality. – Pay special attention to the reception team, because they are the face of your hotel. – Improve how guests are welcomed and handled, because this is the foundation of every successful hospitality business. We want to see improvement. We want to see positive change. We want to be proud of Solecare Hotel — not disappointed by the behavior of its staff. Please take this seriously to protect your reputation and your business.

Dogara E. ★★★★★ : Is a lost glory hotel due to poor financing and maintenance. They have the best of structures and facilities
FABRIC L. ★★★★★ : Never will I return here. Cockroaches, plumbing issues, dirty environment, bathroom is smelling, and everything about it is just annoying. Regretted lodging and i paid 23k for such rubbish. Only thing that's ok is the electricity and nice staff. But the room is not it at all
