I will always come back for the profound experience worth every penny!

Lasisi Nigeria

The room is very spacious for a hotel room. There are little design features here and there (eg the night light) makes me feel like the hotel is really considerate about the needs of their customers. The rooftop pool is also nice and has a nice view but I didn’t use it during my stay. The location is great and close to many food options.

Chih-yin United States of America

Staff are very friendly and seem to remember names of guests, which is great and always on hand to help if you have any issue.

Emmanuel Ghana

Great service - from the gate,pool, housekeeping etc also I love the attention to detail!

Joyce Kenya

Very good business hotel. Great staff, very good restaurant in the hotel, excellent gym, good location and definitely worth trying the rooftop bar.

Stephane

Professional staff. Cleanliness, amenities, security

Mary United States of America

Solomon and John went above and beyond - they always remembered my name, were happy to see me, and always gracious with providing help when needed. Housekeeping was stellar. The bed was comfy and the room was clean.

Michelle United States of America

As usual - fantastic. Best place to stay in Nairobi. Front desk team guys Salamon and John were very friendly as usual. It is always my home in Nairobi. Never think to stay in another place. Good location, friendly staff, delicious foods.

Cem Turkey

Convenient location depending what you're in Nairobi for. Very clean and international hotel with all expected conveniences plus an ultra classy roof deck. We were in the area during low season so got a great rate -- certainly got a fancier experience than we paid for! Nice gym. Excellent but expensive breakfast buffet. They'll also hold luggage while you're out and about once you've checked out.

Rebecca United States of America

Location perfect for IFTEX. The staff were exceptionally friendly.
