The hotel offers very clean and spacious rooms, though showers and sauna are on the smaller side. The exceptional staff, starting at the front desk, truly made our stay unforgettable. The location is good and secure, especially for those heading on safari, while the dining experience is fantastic overall with a variety of options but slightly pricey for Nairobi.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel with great soundproofing in the rooms, though I wished for a better in-room coffee setup. The staff went above and beyond, and the service charge for room delivery was a bit of a downside. The location was convenient for both sightseeing and shopping, with a view to enjoy, but the nearby shopping center was a bonus. The dining options were abundant, including gluten-free choices, but the breakfast prices were high. Overall, I found value for my money in this beautiful city of Nairobi.
