The room was nice. The water stayed hot for two people to take showers. But the noise from the music they play at night was ridiculous! The place is made of tile so the sound just reverberates off all the surfaces. It was so loud and nonstop until almost midnight. I think they have a live band at night. Would not recommend this place

I had a good, short stay. The staff were all very nice and welcoming. My room was pretty standard but it was clean and comfortable. My room card and the packet it was in was a little old and dirty but I assume it’s because they reuse them. I had some trouble getting a good WiFi signal, but luckily didn’t need it too much having stayed on a weekday. The safe in my room also didn’t work, but I didn’t mention it because as I didn’t really need it having only stayed one night. I was staying one floor above the restaurant so it did get a little loud at night but I didn’t mind because it was quiet before I went to sleep. The breakfast buffet was very good, offering a lot of options including traditional Kenyans and Swahili food. Overall, a solid stay.

I booked through Expedia and Expedia showed that the hotel had a hot tub. I wanted to stay in a hotel with a hot tub in order to relax for my last two days in Nairobi. However, when I arrived at the hotel, they told me that there was no hot tub. They said they could give me a room with a hot tub if I paid additional money, but that is not the same thing as booking a hotel that has a hot tub available for all guests to use in a common area. I contacted Expedia for a refund, but they refused stating that the hotel could’ve offered me a hot tub in my room for an additional expense. I should not have to pay additional for a hot tub after booking my room because there was already an understanding that the hot tub was included in the price, just like using the pool was already an included amenity. Hotels that offer hot tubs and pools have them in common areas for use by guests, and if an additional fee is necessary, that should be stated. I was very disappointed because I specifically chose this hotel to use the hot tub, and it was not available. In addition, the Internet did not work in the hotel during my stay. I still would like a refund because I did not get the services that I paid for when I booked the room.

We stayed here for 2 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed the room, pool and service from staff. They were very helpful and ordered us a taxi for the trip back to the airport. A staff member also volunteered to assist us with getting change for a tuk tuk. Would stay here again.

It's a decent place to stay. Room is noisey but staff are friendly and helpful. Room service quite good. Buffet breakfast quite good too (though only instant coffee). Do not disturb sign ignored by staff and woke us.

Music from the restaurant went on until midnight. Air conditioning didn't work in one of our first rooms. Room service brought up a bottle of Coke, but no bottle opener. Food ordered through room service was mediocre. The single best thing about our stay was the staff. They were very accommodating and kind.

The hotel was nice but they didnt have WIFI on 7th floor. I struggled for a whole week of stay without internet. I asked for a room swap and it was denied. Staff dont provide feedback and you must follow up on your requests severally before they addressed. The towels are old and some are worn out.

Disappointed. This hotel could be so good.

After arriving and checking in, we ordered a meal in the dining room by the swimming pool as a couple with 4 children. We ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 pizzas for the children to share. It took nearly 2 hours for the food to arrive!!! Very poor service for such a simple meal from the menu. The room was well appointed and comfortable. We booked 2 packet breakfasts as we were due to leave the hotel at 5:30am. We were so disappointed... 3 small slices of watermelon and some warm flatbread. Nothing else - not even a drink. The worst packed breakfast ever...!!!
