It is said to be the best hotel in the area, with large rooms and decent facilities. However, there is nothing to eat except fruits for breakfast, and the restaurant is even more disappointing. Considering that this is Africa, I haven't eaten anything good in other places in Kenya, so it's okay. At least it's safe and comfortable to stay.
What I liked:
• The room was clean and visually appealing at first glance, with nice décor and a comfortable bed.
• The lakeside setting is peaceful and scenic — perfect for relaxing.
What needs improvement:
• The room was quite small and tight, making it hard to move around comfortably.
• The TV was difficult to operate and not user-friendly at all.
• Hot water took a long time to come through, which was frustrating.
• The main door was very hard to close, and on more than one occasion I found it left slightly open — a potential security concern.
• Breakfast was disappointing: it was cold, had limited variety, and didn’t feel fresh.
• Overall, the room and facilities didn’t match the price point — it felt overpriced for what was offered.
Selella has potential, especially given its beautiful location, but a lot needs to be improved in terms of service, room functionality, and value for money before I’d consider returning or recommending it.
Beautiful, park like grounds with spacious, lovely rooms. But the area where it was located was not very nice, the food was not very good and it took an hour to arrive at the table (although the staff were very nice)
