My stay at Tahir was a mostly pleasant experience. The hotel has an impressive ambience and feels like a mini city, with additional facilities like a salon, diners and other services on-site. My room was big and comfortable the bed was soft, the AC worked quite alright. I had an issue with the shower on the first night however, but after reporting it the next morning, it was fixed before I returned from work that day, which I appreciated. The highlight for me was the breakfast buffet. There was a great variety of food, and I enjoyed every meal without any digestive issues (which is rare for me when eating out). Overall, not the best hotel I’ve stayed in, but a solid experience.

Best hotel I've been to in Kano. Probably the best I've been to in Nigeria. Ambience is top notch, spacious and not too costly rooms, 4 separate 5 star restaurants, very large gym and plenty of parking. Would recommend any time, any day, especially for dignitaries visiting Kano for the first time.
