"My stay was very pleasant over the course of 12 nights. The hotel has beautiful gardens, and the management, café, and housekeeping staff are very helpful and courteous; the facilities are clean and well-maintained. The location is ideal—it’s a bit far from downtown but is situated in the international community neighborhood, surrounded by embassies, UN offices, paddle tennis clubs, and shopping centers. I’ll definitely choose this hotel for my next visit."

"A beautiful gated property with lush green gardens. It didn't feel like you were in the city and was very quiet. The included breakfast is a la carte service. It's generous, and delicious but plan some extra time for breakfast as the food is freshly prepared for you. The rooms are spacious. The front desk was extremely helpful with assisting me with my touring arrangements while in Nairobi. A shout out to Lucy and Claire."
