I booked this hotel for a one-night stay after our flight was canceled and our journey home was delayed until the next day. I chose the hotel because of its location in a safe area with good shopping options. We had a spacious suite with a kitchen, and it was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The included breakfast was really good. We also had lunch at the hotel restaurant, which was good and reasonably priced. My kids had a quick swim in the pool, even though the weather wasn’t great, but it was a nice pool. The staff were very helpful, especially when it came to making sure we could get safely to the airport, as the city was shut down due to protests. I can definitely recommend this place.

This is a gem of a property in a quiet part of Nairobi. It has a gorgeous garden and pool to relax in. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make sure I had everything needed. The option of food throughout the day was appreciated.

It’s a wonderful place in the nature! We had an amazing experience, felt like at home. Room was very big with lots of comfort, breakfast super tasty and the people working there are making the difference (lovely!!). We spent a whole day in the e garden outside to rest, work, and have a little trekking around the river.

I liked the pool, the breakfast on the terrace and the relaxing environment. The place is very clean. Standard room are very nice, but budget room is very small and the showers is bad. Some members of the staff are extremely nice, like Susan, others make trubles... Overall in a good place to stay, we spent 2 weeks and the location was good for us because we needed to travel to magadi everyday.
