These guys were great. we were a little upset by a failed booking at a different place but they more than made up for it. The food and rooms were good. The garden was lovely for yoga and relaxing. If the coffee bar opened a little earlier it would be full marks

Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, good spaces to relax.. however room toilet small and lacks good ventilation, noisy at night due to proximity to a busy highway and limited dining experience.
TOM, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A lovely little hotel.

We had a lovely stay here, a perfect place to land on arrival in Kenya. The staff were really kind and helpful and the food from the restaurant was delicious. Lovely views of the garden from our room.

Lydiah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was came very short of my expectations. The first time I stayed here, the rooms were unhygienic, but thats what you get for the price. The second time I tried to book, they confirmed my booking only for me to go in and be told there was no more rooms left. I asked for a refund from the lady at the counter but she didn't look bothered and very was very unprofessional. I asked if there was a senior manager but she couldn't even talk to me and I asked this very calm and kindly. Would be careful when booking as the service is so beyond poor.

Nice hotel with good food. Drinks prices were completely reasonable and it is near CBD but not inside CBD. Had a nice dinner in the garden with the garden lights and music and breakfast was a lot for the price. It was good.
Mark, 1-night trip

Pathetic. Terrible. Poor meals and expensive. It is a brothel not a hotel. Go there at your own risk
