Joy E. ★★★★★ : The waitresses have a lackadaisical attitude towards work. They behave as if they were forced to apply for a job there and are rude to customers. Always grumbling and complaining.
Enty A. ★★★★★ : Ahkira is a good place but they have to pay attention to the details of cleanliness. Very dusty fan, small roaches in a room is a turn off. Outside that, it's a good place

ASIMOBI C. ★★★★★ : The hotel is stragically located and is one of a bubble junctions in Calabar, the staff as well accommodating and caring however the services for Intercom and Television service is nothing to write home about. Hotel of this type doesn't have intercom in rooms you must have a staff number Incase you need anything and secondly anyone in charge of their IT unit as concern connectivity in the hotel need to be disengaged most run you won't watch television or when they show you won't see imagine
A.J.D. ★★★★★ : It is a lovely place with well meaning staff. I recommend.

Jacqueline E. ★★★★★ : Great experience,services are okay Add days for karaoke it will make a lot of sense
Queenieez K. ★★★★★ : I am taking a weekend rest from stress and I’m in the annex but the power supply is epileptic and there’s no intercom to reach the reception , bar or kitchen. If these two are improved, you have a good space.

Collins K. ★★★★★ : Cool place,but the upstairs should be tiled. As of my last visit,that is,,5th of April,2022,the upstairs is now wearing a new look.
Emmanuel U. ★★★★★ : They have neat rooms and their showers are fitted with hot and cold bath.. Drinks -mortuary standards (chill).. If you are in need of freshly prepared and delicious fish, then you are in the right place.. Their services are excellent and staff are Friendly and professional too ... There is still room for improvement though, due to the non availability of space, there is no provision for parking lot for visitors. I believe in time they will expand and make that available.. They also have constant electricity and backup Generators
