Beautiful property with an incredible view of the national park. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed, and staff were friendly and helpful every step of the way. Breakfast was fantastic, and the restaurant was wonderful in the evening as well. We absolutely loved our stay and stay again without hesitation.

I really enjoy my stays at Emara Ole sereni. Everyone there is so friendly and the rooms are well kept, and I really enjoyed having a balcony this time. I can mention a few people who helped make my stay great: Peter Erick at security, Samuel, Lucy, Alex from the front desk, Brian, and Eunice from the shops, and there are so many more people at the hotel I cannot name. This is the only hotel that I stay at when I am in Nairobi.

Room and facility were excellent. All the staff except the from desk staff are lovely. (Everyone who works at the front desk seems to be having a perpetual terrible day.) The biggest issues are that the a/c in our room did not work. When we tried to turn the thermostat down to cool, the knob came off and someone had stuffed the crevice with toilet paper to hold the broken dial knob on. We told the front desk and they promised to send engineering. All day long engineering did not come. Another extremely hot night in the room with no a/c. We reminded the front desk the next day and still no engineer came at all. So our entire stay was spent with no a/c and zero attempt to fix it despite bringing it to their attention. To make matters worse, the shower water gets barely warm so you can’t even enjoy washing the sweat off from being so hot in your hotel room all night. Housekeeping only came the first of three days, for no explicable reason. And there are little things that simply should not happen at a “luxury” hotel. Like the consistently broken coffee carafe at breakfast. It does not work and staff expects you to keep pushing the top down for ten minutes to get a drip of coffee to come out. Looking at past reviews, people have been complaining about this broken $10 coffee carafe for years and they’ve never replaced it. Absolutely bizarre. Given their apparent refusal to ever repair or replace a simple coffee carafe, there is no hope whatsoever for the a/c.

Fantastic modern and spacious room with a splendid view of the national park. Appreciated the balcony although it was a little cold at times still in March. Staff were fantastic across the hotel, always eager to help and check if we needed anything. Highly recommend. Breakfast offerings and view (again of the park) was great, as well as the rooftop bar on the 10th floor. The swimming pool is super aesthetic but not huge - more for lounging and paddling. The mojitos are strong! I stayed in the Ole-Sereni (the original, sister hotel) prior to my stay at Emara - whilst it felt more understated and more African, with closer access to the spa and gym, I would choose the Emara for its views, more modern rooms and slightly better breakfast offerings.

Right from the beginning the staff was very welcoming. Hussein quickly took us up to our room after a long day of traveling and explained everything well inside of our room which had an outstanding view of the park. Peter, who isn’t even a direct employee of the resort, who is part of the security team that keeps everyone safe, always checked on us and gave us a friendly greeting when he seen us. He even helped when excursions were late and helped to translate to get the issues with the vendors that we hired. The restaurants and bars were very nice and the food was great. A couple nights we could hear the music from the Sky Lounge when going to bed but it wasn't a deal breaker.
