Outstanding food, overall simply stunning and luxurious place.

The hotel was big with an absolutely perfect and amazing location just off lovely manicured gardens, the airport with a brown bag of good take away breakfast and major tourist destinations. Friendliness of the staff. Very relaxing overall experience.

aged amenities

The spacious Beautiful Double Room offered fine views of the Ngong hills and an abundance of birdlife. Friendly staff ensured a comfortable experience, and the controlled environment was a pleasant escape. The dining service was noticeably slow, and the amenities, while plentiful, could use a refresh. For a hotel with a high rating, the overall consistency in service felt lacking at times.

Peaceful escape with great breakfast

I enjoyed unwinding by the pool after a long flight. The Beautiful Double Room was cozy and had all the essentials. Breakfast was a real treat with lots of tasty options. The only thing was, service can be kinda slow at the restaurant, so be prepared for that if you're in a hurry. Still, I loved the vibe!
