The staff at this hotel are beyond remarkable, very friendly, helpful and they go o er and beyond. Will definitely come back to this place.

8/10

Nice hotel which is very secure with nice rooms. The food is good but really limited choice and quite expensive for what you actually get. Staff are nice and friendly but not the quickest! Rooms have nice views with comfy bed and bathroom. WiFi fast. All in, it’s a nice hotel but is it worth the extra cost? I’m not sure!!

Very luxurious property. Well kept, spotless. Many nice restaurants, including delicious pizza. Good gym. The staff is what makes this hotel so excellent, they can’t do enough for you. In particular, Naomi at the front desk was amazing.

I had an amazing experience! The view of the national park, the service, hospitality, kindness, and cleanliness were exceptional. I really loved the spacious and serene environment within the city. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nairobi, especially those coming from the West. Truly an unforgettable stay!”

I had not intended to book the new wing of the Ole-Sereni hotel but it was fine, just slightly disappointing. It's typically business/conference oriented. The restaurant is on an upper level restoring the dining view across Nairobi National Park which was lost in the original hotel. Convenient for the airport and well-appointed if a little boring.

Extremely Disappointing – We Left Mid-Stay Despite No Refund I booked a four-night business trip at Emara Ole-Sereni, and it turned out to be one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The reception service was chaotic – long lines, disorganized check-in, and rude, unhelpful staff who made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. The room cleanliness was unacceptable. It was clear that proper housekeeping standards are not being followed – dusty surfaces, stained linens, and an overall lack of hygiene that made it uncomfortable to stay. Despite having no refund option, we made the decision to cut our stay short and move to another hotel. That’s how bad it was. I would strongly advise business travelers and tourists alike to look elsewhere. This hotel does not live up to its reputation or pricing.

Beautiful property with views of Nairobi National Park - I managed to spot some animals from my hotel room (giraffes, gazelles). The food/buffet was very nice with many different options and reasonably priced.

This hotel is pure luxury! Not only is it overlooking Nairobi National Park but the rooftop pool is beautiful. The beds are comfy and soft. The breakfast and dinner buffet are so delicious! We ordered room service for one of my nights and the food was so savory. I highly recommend this hotel
