This was our first step to our big Kennan Safari. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous with lovely cottages. The staff are all wonderful and helpful. The place is immaculate with lovely facilities. The bar is very well stocked and restaurants are lovely. Location is excellent and easy to get to local places.

Traumhaft schönes, sehr ruhigesHotel! Sicher nicht ganz günstig für Kenia, aber jeden Schilling wert! Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen! Für Fans von „out of africa“: das Museum ist nur 10 min zu Fuß entfernt.

We absolutely loved this place! So beautiful set in the gardens, the cottages were very well appointed and luxurious, we even had a fire in the fireplace each evening. The staff was very friendly, helpful and fun. We arrived on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and got over our jet lag having lunch in the gardens listening to local music. The meals were excellent with a wide variety of dishes and of course local fare as well. Lots to explore in the area!

Located on the infamous Karen Blixen estate in the beautiful suburb of Karen, Nairobi. I have stayed in the "Honeymoon Suite" several times which I highly recommend. It has a modern huge bathroom and a separate living room. Hotel is in a perfect location in Karen (suburbs of Nairobi) Although Hogmead has just opened and I recommend this hands down. Also in the suburbs of Nairobi. Karen Blixen is always a great spot for lunch and people watching. Finch Hattons is a charming poolside restaurant next to the more upscale Babette's restaurant. You can be sure to find a lively bar that is modern and fun. Though the restaurant service could be a bit better the food is good and you are apt to run into someone from the states or Europe. Dining out in their beautiful well kept gardens is a plus, it is beautiful and they take great care of their grounds. The manager is very nice and will be sure to make your stay enjoyable.

Very calm and exquisite small hotel in the middle of Nairobi. Very great houses with everything you need. Excellent service, great dining and terrific breakfast! We only stayed a night unfortunately since we were on our way to a safari. But this is a very nice, quiet place if you need a five star stay in Nairobi!
