    The hotel had a charming and traditional African decor that made me feel like I was immersed in the local culture. The general areas of the hotel were well-maintained and beautifully landscaped with lush gardens and tranquil pools. As a senior person, I appreciated that the hotel was easily accessible, with ramps and elevators available for those with mobility issues.

    The only improvement I would suggest is for the children working there to be more attentive to the needs of senior guests. Perhaps a bit more training in providing assistance and anticipating the needs of older individuals would make the vacation even better for senior people like me.

    Hotel, particularly the business rooms, are grossly overpriced. One can get a better room with far better facilities in central London, Paris, Rome, New York etc

    I had issues with my Credit Card and was very impressed with your front staff's patience and assistance

    Not your fault, but the traffic congestion from the airport and back may be an issue for me in the future because of the time it took

    Good location in the city center, close to shops and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff.- Warm and inviting ambience with a colonial-style decor and beautiful bathrooms

    Compact and noisy rooms with uncomfortable air conditioners and fans. Noise disturbances from other guests and lack of action from the hotel management.

    The hotel location makes it good for business travellers. The ambience is very good, but most of it would get missed by a typical business travellers who would typically use it is a place to sleep only.

    This would be a great hotel but fot the price the demand

    I recently stayed at a 4-star hotel in Nairobi and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect, nestled in an upscale residential district just on the edge of the vibrant Westlands area. The hotel offered a range of services including dry cleaning, laundry, and even airport shuttle, which made my stay incredibly convenient. The rooms were well-equipped with modern amenities like ironing facilities, air conditioning, and a mini-bar. I particularly loved the spacious sitting area and the in-room safe provided for added security. The staff also went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, from the friendly receptionists to the attentive room service. They always promptly addressed any requests I had and even helped me navigate the menu with my dietary restrictions.

    I highly recommend this hotel to my friends.

    Very nice, loved the courtyard and the view out of the rooms. Relaxing and soothing. Close to west gate mall and sarit center. Spur at the hotel was good. Staff were efficient and helpful. Free internet & b/fast included in the room rates. Booked.net rates for this hotel was inclusicve of all taxes, whereas at hilton, I had to pay taxes & service fee over and above Booked.net rates.
