Give this place a try! Very nice!
It was great. My main two issues were some annoying light flickering (seemed like a fire alarm) above my bed. I have experienced this a couple of times now. And for this stay, there must’ve been some construction that started perhaps around 8am. That woke me up. But overall, it was a great stay, and I suppose if construction has to be done, 8am is a fair time. I was just jet lagged. Server, Becky was great, and their bartender, Collins was great as well!

Safe & comfortable
The neighbourhood felt pretty safe, quiet, and had a few malls and restaurants nearby. Our friends living in Nairobi recommended it. The service was ok. The room was large and had all the amenities you would need.

4/10 Fair

They did not honor our group rate even though there were 50 of us. I asked the manager for the TOTAL for how much opening up the second bedroom would be, and she told me the rate for only one night. when i repeated it back to her, she confirmed. if i had known it was not the total i would never have booked it. Very unhappy with our treatment at 4am, though the rooms themselves are very decent
