The staff was great. Special thats to Jefferson, Jane and Anthony. Walking outside the hotel was not easy or something I will do again. However I will choose this hotel on my next visit. If you are a party person you have to go westlands.

Fantastic Hotel
This is a fantastic hotel in a great location for Nairobi airport, Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre all south of the city. The rooms were very spacious with a powerful shower. The breakfast was fantastic as was the evening meal options. We used this hotel for a couple of days rest after our safari and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Positives: appreciate that had lovely breakfast, affordable dinner, a gym, and a pool. Staff very helpful. Things to improve: wifi very poor, not all outlets work at all, esp by pool, pool closes at 6-7 pm (should be 8-9), no ice cubes available about 1/2 time, and shower in my room very small w door opening inward--no way to avoid water on bathroom floor, and a person larger than myself couldnt close the shower door once in the shower. Room 2512. Also, you can't tip staff when paying w credit card unless have cash.

Liked: Amenities
The property is dated substantially. Shower doors will leak, you might be missing light bulbs, the decor is dated, the wifi might be weak. The spa is dated but the service was actually great (spent 3 hrs there … towels are falling apart but the elixir body scrub and massage were amazing). The tembo restaurant on site has a large menu and the food is pretty good … the service is done with a smile but you may need to flag down people or ask for things. They are very nice. I stayed here on 3 different occasions in the span of 2 weeks. The security is pretty good. The shower will leak on your bathroom floor. The beds are comfy enough.
