The rooms are very small and basic and the buzzer system to alert you about overnight visitors didn’t seem to work consistently for our Titan Kenya Grand Safari small group holiday. Glad we only stayed one night but enjoyed sitting with a free cup of tea watching the wildlife close up. Take a light weight coat as it is really chilly at high altitude

We stayed one night and as we were on safari we were only allowed an overnight bag, the room was small but had all you needed for a nights stay, bathroom was clean bed was comfortable. There were a fee observation decks, some inside and some outside with a great view over looking a watering hole, there is a buzzer in the bedroom that goes off when certain animals come to the watering hole in the night but you can switch this off if you want to. Overall we had a great stay and would do it again

Charming hotel, small and intimate. Lots of stairs to level A (top level) so if you are slower go for a room on level C. The viewing areas are great with huge windows to watch the animals. Lots of elephants, boars, Impalas and dickdicks. The hotel could use an update but charming enough that it’s not a big deal. I had a massage with Elizabeth and I can not recommend enough. She was amazing!

Even if you don't go on a game drive, you can observe wild animals from the terrace because the animals come here to get not only water but also minerals. It was a little cold at night, but the hotel staff provided us with a hot water bottle. The service of the staff during meals was also excellent. Both my daughter and I really liked the soup at this hotel.

This hotel gave you the unique experience to observe animals at night as they visited the watering hole.It was great to see the animals relationship with each other.Food was good. Rooms were modest and small but it was all about the viewing experience. Tea and coffee was available throughout the night. An alarm was supposed to sound during activity at night but I am not convinced this happened.No cars allowed,transport arranged from twin hotel of Aberdare Country Club

Excellent wildlife viewing from terrace but hotel let down by the room. Small, no wardrobe, no shelf in bathroom, toiletries had to be put on the floor, bathroom basin loose. The bed was comfortable. The hotel is quite old and characterful but could benefit from refurbishment.

We spent one night at this delightful lodge in the Aberdares Very clean, food was excellent, staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the animals At least 14 different species of animals arrived at the water hole including several ellies with babies in the middle of the night. The lodge will buzz your cabin as the rooms are called to make sure you do not miss seeing something worthwhile. You can switch the buzzer off should you wish Good value
