Nairobi convenient oasis

Decent rooms. OK TV channels. NICE gym. Great pool (gets a lot of local school swimming classes.) Super outside areas .. you're in your own beautiful garden within the city. Walk across the street to Sangrit Mall. Quick travel from airport and into West Nairobi via freeway. Good food and prices. Room price can't be beat compared to other similar options

Average hotel but we were given a room with no AC. Then sent to a room with a noisy AC. Then sent to a room without twin beds and I slept on a mattress on the floor. Staff are friendly and it’s across the street from a nice mall.

We were harassed by beggars when walking around the area at night. While the beggars don't do anything but beg, it gets annoying. Property needs updating. Staff is amazing. The staff makes it worth staying at. Also, being right by the Sarit was so convenient.
