The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It is a part of a high end hotel and share a large pool, beautiful grounds, and an outdoor bar and bar menu. Very safe neighborhood, walking during the day, and a very pleasant place to hang out in the evening.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent option for reasonably priced western hotel in Nairobi. It's attached to the next door Fairview Hotel which is an IHG property and has great amenities like a pool and various dining options. These are necessary as you are advised not to go out at night in Nairobi so you are more or less stuck at the hotel. Room was clean and good sized. Bed linens were of high quality. Cleaning daily. Breakfast was awesome with plenty of options including fruit, yogurt, bakery, cereal, made to order omelettes, and a barista coffee station.
