Clean room, lovely staff, great breakfast with enough options for hot food and an omelette station. Try to request a room with the park view as the city view is not very nice!

Fantastic place, gutted to only have a night there as was travelling on. But staff great, amazing facilities (was able to get a 5am run in the gym) - if I had longer would enjoy the pool and restaurant, and used it as base for national park. But regardless, great place - thank you!

Beautiful room overlooking the Kenya National Park. Everything was clean. I love seeing all the African themed art, absolutely beautiful. The food was SO good. Every single employee was outstanding, kind and helpful. We ended up having to extend our stay due to a canceled flight back to the US, but honestly I love being here. The pool is wonderful, the grounds are beautifully landscaped. We recommend staying here.
