    spacious room
    stunning views
    slow service
    lack of consistency
    aged amenities

    The spacious Deluxe Double Room offered stunning views of the Ngong hills and an abundance of birdlife. Friendly staff ensured a comfortable experience, and the controlled environment was a pleasant escape. However, the dining service was noticeably slow, and the amenities, while plentiful, could use a refresh. For a hotel with a high rating, the overall consistency in service felt lacking at times.

    I absolutely loved the stunning gardens and views! The breakfast was a delicious spread of flavors, especially the fresh pastries. The only downside was the dining service could be a bit slow at times. 😊

    great breakfast
    serene pool area
    slow restaurant service

    Peaceful escape with great breakfast

    I enjoyed unwinding by the pool after a long flight. The Deluxe Double Room was cozy and had all the essentials. Breakfast was a real treat with lots of tasty options. The only thing was, service can be kinda slow at the restaurant, so be prepared for that if you're in a hurry. Still, I loved the vibe!

    I was blown away by the spacious Beautiful Double Room with views of the fine Ngong hills and lush trees! The breakfast options were a good feast, each bite better than the last. And let's not forget lounging by the pool, surrounded by serene beauty and nature. It was pure bliss!
