Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated but were not ready upon my arrival. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist in all aspects. The location is central and convenient, but traffic may affect travel times to tourist attractions. Dining options could be improved with better quality coffee and tea. Overall, a mixed experience with fantastic service overshadowing minor inconveniences.
The hotel provides a feeling of comfort and relaxation with clean, spacious rooms and friendly service. The delicious pastries at breakfast are a standout, though the smell of paint in the rooms could be improved.
Upon my arrival to Kenya, staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. The apartment provided was fully functional and very spacious with a living room, full kitchen, and a balcony patio large enough for lounging furniture, making it outstanding. The friendly and attentive service, along with the great location for both business and leisure, added to the overall positive stay.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spacious, with a balcony overlooking the beautiful garden. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to fix a booking issue for me. The location was a peaceful oasis surrounded by lush greenery, although a bit further from some tourist spots. The dining options were delightful, offering a variety of fresh and tasty dishes. Overall, a truly exceptional stay!
I felt like I was in a stylish and modern home with plenty of space to work in the well-equipped kitchen area. The rooms were very spacious, making my stay extra special. The location was lush and beautiful, and the dining options were excellent. However, the service had its ups and downs, ranging from amazing to disappointing moments.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the welcome cookies and fruits added a nice touch to the stay. The proximity to the kitchen was convenient, and the rooms themselves were beautifully furnished and well-equipped. While the location was slightly further from main tourist areas, it was still central to where we needed to be. The service was top-notch, with professional staff always ready to address any issues. Dining offered a variety of fresh options, although it could have had more variety. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
