    limited outdoor space

    i recently stayed for 6 nights and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere at this hotel. the friendly staff even surprised my partner and me with lovely flowers for our anniversary. the varied dining options and 24/7 café truly exceeded my expectations compared to my previous stay in nairobi.

    the plunge pool area felt too cramped.

    Charming Stay with Personal Touches

    Our six-night stay was delightful. The staff's incredible hospitality shone through when they prepared a special soup for me at 3 AM. I loved the cozy decor, pastries in the room, and the vibrant brunch atmosphere. Don't forget to check out the nearby mall, just a short stroll away!
