Being out of the city at the edge of the Nairobi National Park

Andrew, Rwanda

I was travelling on my own and I felt totally taken care of by the staff at Nyati. And they lent me binoculars to see the lions and the zebras!

Sally, United Kingdom

Great location literally on the edge of the Nairobi National Park: Most of the time, especially in the morning, there are wildlife grazing on hill opposite the property. One morning we could see zebra, water buffalo, antelope and ostriches (don't forget your binoculars). Proximity to highlights: The cottages are close to David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre, Kitengela Glass and more. Well-maintained property with friendly, helpful staff. The owners made me feel very much at home.

We love everything about Nyati Hill and this is our second visit. It is a little piece of paradise. We love the spacious comfortable cottages with comfy big beds and big showers and we like the separate kitchen facilities. The view out across Nairobi National Park is wonderful and we love swimming in the pool while watching zebra and buffalo pass by with ostrich and giraffe. We had monkeys on the terrace, rock hyrax on the roof. It is quiet and surrounded by nature. Don’t come here for night life and noise but absolute heaven if you want peace. Our car broke down and Bernard drove us wherever we wanted to go. We went to the giraffe manor and to see the Kazuri beads being made and had lunch at Karen Blixens. A local restaurant picked us up for free and would deliver food. Highly recommended. We hope to return.

This cottage is a lovely place with a very nice garden and pool and beautiful view to the Nairobi National Park. Susanne is totally professional, she organised us all the transfers and daytrip, safari which all went smoothly, we got so many nice memories from this place. All the staffs are friendly and helpful, thanks for upgrade our room for pool view :) The hotel with all furniture is well designed and match to Kenya.

The exterior with the flowers and all clean the fact we could wash all our things after 9 days safari. Very useful

We loved everything about Nyati Hill Cottages. It is very pretty, the pool is great and the gardens are well looked after. The owners are lovely and arranged for us to be met at the airport by their driver, and stop off to do some shopping on the way. It's about 10 miles from the airport so this is really useful, many taxi drivers might not be able to find it easily. It cost about £30 for 4 of us. Their driver would also take you on trips into the National Park or to visit the many sites nearby, such as the Karen Blixen house and museum. The cottages are right on the edge of Nairobi National Park so we could watch the animals from the terrace. This area of Nairobi is called Karen which is a very safe area. It was a fabulous and very relaxing start to our trip and we would definitely recommend Nyati Hill and hope to stay there again ourselves.

Jason, United Kingdom

Everything! An amazing stay for 5 nights. Couldn't have chosen a better spot. Any guest will love it the moment they arrive. It is so peaceful and tranquil, overlooking Nairobi National Park, you may hear lion at night and see the animals roam while enjoying breakfast on the outdoor patio.

눇The place has lovely huts and it's such a small and cute green place. It is far better than the citycenter of Nairobi. They organited a 1day safari in the national park just next to the cottages. It was one of the best safaris we did! The water was good and hot Wifi worked well

“NOT WORTH IT for the price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Double Room with Shower
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The ridiculous price paid at level of a 5 stars in EUROPE when we are in Kenya NO WORM SHOWER WITH NO WATER PRESSURE. Ridiculous, this is no respect + fruit for breakfast not possible to have exotic fruit - no pineapple no mango no passion fruit - only bananas and 2 apples (sic) It is an average bungalow equipped but nothing special. Even less appropriate for the country since there are no anti-mosquito for windows... Swimming pool water cold. Not even solar panels to warm it up - too luxurious for the price may be? Ratio price / services is absolutely scandalous. I thought we were booking a 5 stars to finish our safari trip beautifully.... well not....
눇The exterior with the flowers and all clean the fact we could wash all our things after 9 days safari. Very useful

“Horrible”

눉Disgraceful. Too pricy for what they offer. Was with my girlfriend so I expected a twin and comfortable bed. Actually was 2 singles beds with 2 single blankets. Room was not very clean. In addition is far from everything and has no bar or restaurant. So if you need food have to order from another hotel about 20 min away and the food was terrible. The food came rolled in a aluminum sheet. There is no proper breakfast. Basically they brought us a bag of bred, butter, 4 eggs and 2 yogurts. So we could cook ourselves the breakfast. Would never stay in this place again and never recommend it. For sure there are many other better places and prices in Nairobi.
눇The outside area looks nice. The only good thing.
