This is a glorious place to stay when in Nairobi. It’s just a tranquil oasis with incredibly friendly staff, amazing food (we’re vegetarians), and astonishingly spacious comfortable rooms. We had a huge balcony which overlooked beautiful trees and were woken up by bird song every morning. The facilities are great - swimming pool, health club, etc. But it is the staff that make us feel so welcome and at home… Samson at reception was especially thoughtful and engaging and I had great conversations with driver David.

Little piece of paradise in the big city

The hotel is beautiful and our room was lovely. We had a great king size canopy bed with nice linens and mosquito netting. We also had a living room and balcony overlooking a lush garden. The restaurant is nicely appointed but lacks a bit for lunch and dinner, however the breakfast is quite good with so many fresh fruits and made to order omelets. Very nice and safe location.

This hotel is amazing! Everything from the big, fluffy white towels and crisp, clean white sheets to the wide array of tasty food they served for breakfast, everything was wonderful! The property was beautiful! I forgot I was in the middle of a busy city and felt like I was in a small oasis surrounded by the lush palm trees and vibrant landscaping. Every single staff member we came across was exceedingly kind and went out of their way to help however they could. They all welcomed us each day with a wide smile and a kind word. The amenities such as the pool and the fitness center were well kept and had everything we needed. We were able to utilize the small kitchen and the nearby grocery store to supplement some of our meals during our stay. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed! Choose Palacina and feel the sweet Kenyan hospitality!
