Top Lake Elementaita Hotel Reviews

Claire De Lune Moonlight Hotel

Claire De Lune Moonlight Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I extended my stay at this hotel. It's right in the middle of downtown, across from Nakuru Station and near the matatus stands. My room was by the window, so I could hear the sounds of the city outside while looking out at the hills and mountains in the background — it all felt like part of the experience. The hotel was clean, well maintained, peaceful. The staff were consistently kind, thoughtful, and graceful. Breakfast was included with every night’s stay and offered excellent value. It was a full breakfast with eggs, sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits,tea, fruit drink and bread. I had a great experience. I would definitely recommend it. I extended my stay because of the beautiful energy of the place and staff, both in the hotel and restaurant. There is a restaurant in the hotel that serve tasteful food. If I ever go back to Nakuru I would stay there again."

"This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I was greeted outside, given a hot towel to wipe my hands, and then served cold Hibiscus tea while I waited for my room. When my room was ready, everything was explained to me in detail. I was given the wrong room, but when I brought it to their attention and showed them, it was immediately corrected. The room and bathroom were clean. Everyone was kind and gentle and aimed to please to ensure I had a great stay. Great value."
