I was very disappointed with my stay, as my AirPods Pro were stolen from my room. I had left my AirPods Pro in the charging case on the cofe table in my room. When I returned to my room later that day, the charging case was gone. I checked with the front desk, but they had not seen it. I am very disappointed that my property was stolen from my room, and I hardly recommend anyone staying at this hotel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Seems popular with Europeans who know good value. The local neighborhood is a bit rough, not suitable for walking, especially at night.

Great option for transiting

Basic and well run with nice staff. The rooftop restaurant has a little bit of everything. We used this hotel on both ends of safari holiday. We loved the in-room breakfast option.

Good value. Would stay again.

Good stuff. Thought I would have a night in central Nairobi so I could have a few hours explore but in the end the traffic meant I got there later than expected. Good value. Fantastic roof bar/restaurant with the best food I had on my week in Kenya (though the threshold wasn't very high)

It’s a good value for money, for sure! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is priced reasonably and tastes good! Room is spacious and clean. The thing that sometimes annoy me about the room is not about its interior but rather the size of the room key keychain! It is like the size of a billiard ball and I always get stuck trying the unlock the door. As I got a room closer to the road, you can hear the vehicles’ sound a bit more. I am not sure if it is the same case for rooms at the back. But you might want to consider that option. I think what the hotel can also improve on is to ensure that they control the noises near the reception area especially at night. My room which is No. 7 is just across and I can clearly hear every sound. Even the phone’s notification of person sitting at the bench in the lobby. I also availed of their city day tour. It’s not really something that you will be given with a proper tour guide but a dedicated driver and a planned itinerary for the day. It was all good for me as I went to places where I can easily read the references. I had an amazing driver and he can also answer questions about the city. But overall, I still had an excellent experience and will still stay in this hotel next time if I happen to visit Nairobi again.
