10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!”
Mohamed, 1-night trip

It’s ok but not sure!!!

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 clean property, spacious and clean rooms, and very accommodating staff.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed by Emara OleSerena. Far from serenity

Despite its promising online presentation, my stay at Emara Ole-sereni was disappointing. The photographs of the deluxe room advertised on Hotels.com, with both front and side-facing windows, turned out to be very misleading, as I was told by a porter that only very few such rooms exist and the photo is used to lure guests. The alternative room with a terrace was clean, but the building itself felt neglected, with visible water damage and a dusty, dated & faded appearance. Road noise made it hard to relax, undermining the hotel’s claim of offering serenity. Reception was unresponsive to calls, forcing me to go down in person just to be heard, which felt more like an inconvenience than a service. Breakfast staff seemed disengaged, forgetting basic items like cutlery and coffee orders, which I eventually had to fetch myself from the bar. On a positive note, the porter and cleaning staff were exceptional, offering the only bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming experience.

Nawar, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property was centrally located not to far from the airport and had a really great roof top bar and restaurant
Dion, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Steve, 1-night trip

Beautiful stay

Thank you for the kindness and the nice service you granted me during my stay, see you soon.
