Nice Hotel Staff Make the Experience Different

It is not a very comfortable B&B because the location is not that good and bed was too soft .... but I would say all the staff that I had met at the hotel were excellent. From the manager who gave us a small discount because of our mistakes, the kitchen staff who gave us pots of hot water and breakfast after the breakfast time, the reception lady who looked for the bananas for us because we needed and even the bell boys who helped us to take our heavy luggage between the ground floor and second floor .... They were all very kind and helpful and trying their best to serve us. Good hotel staff make the experience different.

I was very disappointed with my stay, as my AirPods Pro were stolen from my room. I had left my AirPods Pro in the charging case on the cofe table in my room. When I returned to my room later that day, the charging case was gone. I checked with the front desk, but they had not seen it. I am very disappointed that my property was stolen from my room, and I hardly recommend anyone staying at this hotel.

Good value. Would stay again.

Good stuff. Thought I would have a night in central Nairobi so I could have a few hours explore but in the end the traffic meant I got there later than expected. Good value. Fantastic roof bar/restaurant with the best food I had on my week in Kenya (though the threshold wasn't very high)

Nice rooms and friendly staff.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff who helped me with tour booking and transfer to/from the airport. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was really nice and was freshly cooked every morning. Unfortunately, the Wifi was weak in the room and the TV didn't work. The area is ok with shops nearby. The Nairobi National Museum is a 20 minutes' walk from the hotel.

It’s a good value for money, for sure! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is priced reasonably and tastes good! Room is spacious and clean. The thing that sometimes annoy me about the room is not about its interior but rather the size of the room key keychain! It is like the size of a billiard ball and I always get stuck trying the unlock the door. As I got a room closer to the road, you can hear the vehicles’ sound a bit more. I am not sure if it is the same case for rooms at the back. But you might want to consider that option. I think what the hotel can also improve on is to ensure that they control the noises near the reception area especially at night. My room which is No. 7 is just across and I can clearly hear every sound. Even the phone’s notification of person sitting at the bench in the lobby. I also availed of their city day tour. It’s not really something that you will be given with a proper tour guide but a dedicated driver and a planned itinerary for the day. It was all good for me as I went to places where I can easily read the references. I had an amazing driver and he can also answer questions about the city. But overall, I still had an excellent experience and will still stay in this hotel next time if I happen to visit Nairobi again.

Great value

Travelled solo and felt completely safe and secure in the premises even if location was not in the best part of town; just got tours to pick-up and drop-off. Staff was friendly and super-accommodating with requests. Breakfast was good and roof restaurant had good food that was inexpensive and great ambience. Laundry was inexpensive too (but note that they just place in washer and dryer). Great value for money.
