Our family stayed recently in a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 weeks. ||||Overall a great stay, room was spacious and well maintained with two separate bedrooms both with en-suite shower rooms, a living room/dining room and kitchen as well as separate utility room and guest toilet. Utility room had a washer dryer and ironing/ironing board which was very handy for our stay. Kitchen was fully equipped including oven, hob and fridge freezer.||||House keeping was great, always cleaning the room well and also delivering several large bottles of still water everyday.||||Location on Riverside Drive was quiet and away from some of the Nairobi hustle and bustle. Two separate gate entrances one at the front of the hotel which seemed to be for dropping and picking up, though also several cars where parked there especially at the beginning of our stay, the second gate leads to the basement where there was plenty of parking.||||Staff generally very friendly, though some of the gate security staff especially those at night (possibly employed by another security company) we found a bit abrupt and could perhaps do with some customer service training (it must be noted, some were great though).||||We ate several times at the roof top restaurant and room service (tray charge a very reasonable 500 KES). Food was always great quality and reasonably priced.||||Free WiFi, easy to connect and sufficient for sending emails/web browsing.||||We felt the hotel offered value for money and we would happily return when...

Read moreMy family spent 8 days in this hidden gem located on Embassy row. Apartment is huge, nicely appointed and spotless. The entire staff has made my home coming a wonderful experience. Bilha and Ester are the best front desk staff you could ask for. And Dorcas. Fresh cookies daily. The Grove rooftop lounge has been excellent for breakfast. A variety of hot and cold items, eggs to order, fresh fruits, loved the Kenyan and indian dishes plus an array of cakes, bread and pastries every morning. We also had evening drinks and dinner at the rooftop bar. A couple of misses with cocktails but those are always hard to perfect anywhere in the world. Overall James (bar), Kevin, Mukoma, Steven, Naftali and a few young ladies at The Grove left a great impression on my family. BW Mosquitos and extreme heat in 4th floor room should have required plug-in insecticide being placed in the rooms prior to check in. Wifi cuts out alot so upgrade your cellphone data before you get here. BW please add newer routers. This is an...
