Excellent restaurant and staff

The room service was not the best. Stayed for 3 nights and on the 3rd night, the bedsheets were not changed, pillow case changed to a dirty one. Response time is so slow not to mention the lack of amenities like an iron box or basic WI-FI connection. Most of the waiters were really nice and helpful but one specific one was so indifferent. The food was good but as for the accommodation, I would not recommend. No actual slippers provided so you have to shower without because they offer paper slippers. Terrible terrible service. Do not waste your hard earned money here.

The rooms there are dirty, the bathroom fixtures are rotten, rusted and broken. The staff did not make much effort to remedy the situation. That is why I broke off my stay there. I did not get a refund for the unused days, which I stupidly paid in advance. I warn against staying there, as well as paying in advance.

Staff was great and the rooms were perfect. It was nice to find a place outside the city. We didn't visit any surrounding neighborhoods, but it looked to be typical Nairobi suburbs with street side markets and small shops
