Hemingways Nairobi, an SLH Hotel — Hotel in Nairobi

LOVELY HOTEL IN THE SUBURBS OF NAIROBI!

---We recently stayed at Hemingway’s for 3 nights.

---The spacious rooms are huge- featuring a seating area and private terrace. There is a beautiful bathroom with abundant closets. The décor is furnished attractively.

---The service at the hotel is superb. All the staff have great attitudes.

---We ate dinner at the hotel in their lovely outdoor area every night. The food was delicious. Thank you to our waiters-Gideon, Paul and Victor for your great service you provided.

---My only suggestion would be to improve the breakfast buffet in the morning especially the pastries and breads.

---We had two butlers, Dennis and Kennedy who were very attentive.

---Be sure to make time for the Spa. The massages we had were fabulous and also very reasonably priced. Thank you to Belta and Mary. I also had a manicure by Winnie who was great.

---We also enjoyed going to the upstairs outdoor Bar for drinks and Jacinta waited on us. She is a lovely lady!

---Our room was cleaned to perfection by housekeeping.

---There is a great gift shop in the hotel that had wonderful products.

---Thank you also to Shelia (Assistant Manager) Linet (Hostess), Bernard (waiter at breakfast), and Dennis (Director of Housekeeping)

---We had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Richard Kaimenyi who runs a wonderful hotel.

---For activities in Nairobi we went to Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. It was crowded and we were ready to leave after 10 minutes. After seeing elephants on our Safaris it was a letdown. They do have a great gift shop there with adorable t-shirts.

---The highlight of sightseeing for us was the Karen Blixen Museum that we found so fascinating. The Karen Blixen Museum was once the centre piece of a farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills owned by Danish Author Karen and her Swedish Husband, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke. The museum belongs to a different time period in the history of Kenya, and later gained international acclaim with the release of the movie ‘Out of Africa’, an Oscar winning film based on Karen’s autobiography by the same title. We had a wonderful guide who explained everything in detail before we went in the house. Her house that you will visit is all intact like it was when she lived there.

---We also enjoyed going to the Kazuri Beads Factory that we loved visiting. It is a huge factory where they make beautiful jewelry from clay and provide employment to over 300 single mothers in Kenya. You will see step by step process how beads are made and there is a wonderful shop to buy beads at end of the tour. The ladies all sing and dance that was very...

We stayed for one night in Hemingway’s before our safari (Angama Mara) and then on the way back stayed at Radisson Arboretum. The property is nice, but the service was somewhat absent, taking a while to check-in and check-out, and not feeling so looked after. At the time we thought it was just the way in Kenya but at the other hotels received fantastic service. The hotel grounds are pretty but there is not much territory to walk around. In the night there was quite a lot of noise from doors opening and closing and people walking which could be a problem if you want to catch up on sleep before a safari trip. At breakfast we were disappointed at the lack of healthy options. For example, Kenya is a place where mangoes grow, but at the breakfast the mangoes are in syrup! If you just want eggs and bacon then I guess you’ll be fine, but we expected better and ended up hardly eating any breakfast there and skipping dinner entirely. On the way back, as I said, we stayed at Radisson Arboretum and vastly preferred the service and the location (for walking around the Arboretum), and it was under...
