8.4Verified guest“The hotel was exceptional and very comfortable, with friendly staff. The location was fantastic, near Wilson Airport, perfect for before or after a safari. It was close to shopping centres, Karen's attractions, and Nairobi National Park. The bathroom was excellent and the room spotlessly clean. Good breakfast with plenty of choices, a nice pool, and on-site parking.”
