    dirty kettle
    hot water

    i was simply appalled by the dirty kettle in my room, not to mention the lack of hot water in the sink. after all that, you'd think a complimentary drink would have been offered, but nope, no special treatment at all. if only they'd attended to details, perhaps my review would have been more positive.

    enjoyable dining options
    clean room
    no hot water
    noisy environment
    limited amenities

    The staff were quite hospitable and always ready to help, making my stay enjoyable. However, the room I stayed in had some issues, including no hot water in the sink and a noisy environment from road traffic at night. Overall, a decent place for a short stay, especially with affordable dining options nearby.

    family-friendly activities
    supportive staff
    play area

    We enjoyed exploring Nairobi with our two sons, especially our visit to the Giraffe Centre, where we fed and took pictures with the giraffes. The staff's effort made our stay memorable, and they were eager to help us navigate local attractions.

    In my wife’s opinion, a kids' play area would be great.

    comfortable beds
    friendly staff
    reliable wifi
    out of service lift

    Had a fantastic stay with a group of friends! We loved the comfy beds and reliable WiFi. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making our experience enjoyable. We took personalized excursions to the Giraffe Centre and David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, both unforgettable. Breakfast options were also great, giving a nice start to our busy days!

    One downside was the lift. it was out of service during our stay, making things a bit inconvenient.

    cleanliness
    hot water issue

    comfortable but minimal hot water

    The room I stayed in was really quiet, creating a restful atmosphere for my stay. Cleanliness was top-notch! The staff allowed me an early check-in, which was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed a delightful view of the garden from my room that complemented my relaxing experience.

    The hot water took time to reach the perfect temperature, which was a bit inconvenient.
