The food and the drinks was A 1 . Me and my travel group of friends was well taken care of .Quick transportation and very close to the mall and the nightlife . When you go to the bar ask for a strawberry margarita with Don julio. They make it the best in kenya . Very good staff as well .

Best access to karura forest

Infront of karura forest with great hiking activities. Friendly staff n good breakfast. Really enjoyed my stay there. Definitely recommend it

6/10 Okay

Very responsive and friendly staff. The only thing that I didn’t like was the breakfast that they serve. The options of what you can get is very limited. And the food is just not tasty at all. It’s below average compared to other places I’ve visited.

Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We reached out via Expedia days to check-in to request for a refund or amendment, the Hotel advised that they would reach out on status, they never did despite the reasons given for the request. That was rather distasteful and the lack of communication was most regrettable.

Anbefales

Hotellet ligger veldig sentralt nær Westgate kjøpesenter, som er et fantastisk et, og har en god og rolig atmosfære. Store rom med alt av fasiliteter. Personalet var helt fantastiske så koset oss. Anbefales på det stærkeste.

Worst stay ever!

Worst stay I’ve ever experienced. I booked and paid the hotel through Hotels.com however when I got there, they made me pay the rate I already paid a second time, charging me double because I had a guest. This was so unheard of, and I felt completely unsafe in a country I didn’t know at all. This is at very best a 2 star hotel, towels had a bad smell, the room door couldn’t be locked, and there’s no A/C or heater in the room.
Boris, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of NBO's Best Kept Secrets Obviously

This is one of Nairobi's best kept secrets. Great, serene ambience you could as well be on a safari with all the wildlife around you. Great friendly staff and one of the best food I have tasted in an NBO hotel. I will stay here again and again.
