Five Stars hotel! Excellent facilities. Large rooms, good beds, luxurious amenities. Excellent service. Excellent breakfast buffet bar. Poor a la cart menu: overpriced. The chef needs training how to cook a steak. The so called ribeye stake seems to be like a plain sirloin. The management has a strange habit: to keep the reception doors open all the time. When I checked in I got several bad mosquito bites. Overall, a great location with a great park view.

I really enjoy my stays at Emara Ole sereni. Everyone there is so friendly and the rooms are well kept, and I really enjoyed having a balcony this time. I can mention a few people who helped make my stay great: Peter Erick at security, Samuel, Lucy, Alex from the front desk, Brian, and Eunice from the shops, and there are so many more people at the hotel I cannot name. This is the only hotel that I stay at when I am in Nairobi.
