Great location and many friendly staff members

Great location in the CBD, I walked to the city market, KICC, and lots of restaurants. The staff at breakfast were friendly and actually called me one morning when they didn’t see me so as to check on me. Security guards were helpful and I felt safe as a solo traveller. About 30 minutes to Kenyatta airport and many attractions
