Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis hotel is a good example of my overall Kenya experience. It could be nice if people just cared more more and paid attention to the details. Rooms are very dated and need updating. Minor things throughout were broken or just done with no care. Bidet wasn't hooked up properly. The molding around the mirror was shoddy and not cut or placed right. Room like it was never cleaned thoroughly, caked on dust on the vents, and corners and dirt/crumbs. Bed was lumpy and worn out. The on site restaurants were over priced for the quality of good they served. Better and cheaper food is find with in a 2 block walk. Simple things like only stocking the bathroom with 2 towels and some days only 1, so hope you doing have long hair. Hassling about extra fees when your room is booked and paid for 2 people. There's a lot wrong with this place, but it's a good example of the Kenya experience, over priced, under delivers, and trys too squeeze you for more.
If you pay full rate you're getting ripped off, just stay at the Hilton for the same price. If you get a steep discount then it's barely OK.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreHonestly, my experience here has been underwhelming. The property is quite dated and could use some maintenance. When I arrived, the carpet in my room felt damp, and I had to keep my socks on just to walk around. I requested a room change and was told it would be arranged the next day, but that never happened.
Eventually, I discovered the source of the dampness- a leaking air conditioner. An engineer was sent to my room at 11:45 PM, which I found far too late for a service visit, so I declined.
Iād recommend considering other nearby hotels. A friend stayed at one that was more comfortable and significantly more affordable ā a much better value overall.
UPDATE: in the interest of integrity and fairness, when the guest relations manager (Apollo) found out about my experience he went out of the way to make it better and feeling sick, Regina gave me a late checkout to sort myself out....
