“Beautiful grounds, lovely staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Its a beautiful setting, very atmospheric. The staff are friendly and helpful and the italian and chinese restaurants are really good; curries in the main restaurant are also very good. Furnishings are a bit tired and not everything works in every room, and no aircon - mosquito nets. Tennis courts and equipment have seen better days but overall a great place to stay.

“Good Hotel even to stay a few days”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

The hotel has a big garden and a nice pool area. We stayed there 2 times, first time before the safari and then after. The first room was not so nice, I guess it was in the block with the roomnr. 6xx, when we came back for our second stay we to a upgrade as we asked to have late check out, we got charged for it, but as our flight left around midnight this was ok. They organised the cab so we payed the cabe for both rides from and to airport to the hotel. So not bargaining with drivers. There are different restaurants, the italien is quite good. I went also to the hairdresser, and for 7$ I really can't complain, here it costs 5x more...

“Fantastic 2nd anniversary for Bertha and Mariusz made splendid by Jared Isanda”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We had our wedding here and they give arranged to come back for our complementary honeymoon and an extra day (18th and 19th December, 2011). Jared Isanda pulled all stops to make sure that our fabulous stay was even more fantastic, I even learned that he was already off and he came back to make sure that we were comfortable (where do you get such committed employees). He arranged for dinner at the African restaurant....we were met by a team who were prepared to help us enjoy our night...The service was great..we even had a surprise song from the entertainers( and it was my favorite song "You are still the one"). Thanks so much. Mr. Isanda even arranged for a surprise cake...we had a good time. Thank you so much and thank you so so much Mr. Isanda. My husband now has decided to have all our anniversary back in Kenya each year, am looking forward to it.

Room Tip: Incase you are unsure ask for Mr. Isanda

“Oasis in Nairobi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Stayed one night in this hotel in October 2011. Very nice hotel on outskirts of Nairobi, gated and secure, set in beautiful floral gardens with lots of bird life. There were several levels with steps within the hotel grounds, but ramps had been provided alongside the steps. Bedroom very large with a 4-poster bed with mosquito net. Large bathroom with bath. Mosquito killer spray provided; safe in room, laundry done in 24 hrs. Wonderful foyer area with life size elephant statue. Numerous swimming pools and 5 restaurants. We can highly recommend the evening African barbecue – an excellent value meal, a chance to try unusual meats such as camel, crocodile and ostrich. The food and service was excellent.

The African dance troupe who gave a one-hour show were very professional, vibrant and well costumed – quite amazing.

“Too expensive, average food, no customer service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel was a staggering $180 per night for a single room. The room was nice, but there were little things like no air-con, chipped enamle on the bathroom suit, Tv remote didn't work, hot water tap initially didn't work(?) - it turned but no water.

The dancers/acrobats in the evening caberet were good, but the accompanying Safari BBQ was just OK and the 'Italian' restuarant was disappointing.

However, the worse part was the lack of interest in customer support - for this sort of money you'd think the service at reception would be sensational - its not. They know there is little choice in this area, so they charge what they want and don't seem to care.
