Nice location and staff, could use some renovation
The good stuff: the location is great with lots of food options and a mall in walking distance, as well as some beautiful outdoors, and the staff are friendly and do their job well. Special shout out to the laundry service that cleaned any amount of clothes for just 1000Ksh a pop. The not so good stuff: the Wi-Fi in the room was patchy at best, nonexistent at worst. The bed was probably the worst I've slept in: a worn-out mattress and fluffy pillow combined to offer barely any back or neck support, leading to a lot of painkillers being a necessity. Also, the heater for the shower seemed to be wired a bit dangerously as I got some electric tingles from the taps turning off the water.

4/10 Fair

I have stayed here before. The service snd the stay was exellent the reason i came back. But when i came back things were different. I landed late. I called the place to inform that i will be checking inn by midnight. By the time i arrived the staff had slept but after a shirt while i was checked inn by the most hard faced young man. I thought he was tired. The bathroom lights were not functioning he promised me it will be fixed in the morning. When i asked for a room change it was not possible because it was full which is understandable. The problem was his almost hostile responses i actually even asked him if he ever smiles with guests. The following day i was out all day, by the time i came back in the evening the bathroom lights were not fixed. The guy at the reseption was not there but i luckily got help eith the light by the friendly kitchen stuff and the guard. The cottage guest House is a lovely place. The guy who checked me inn should not be a face of any place dealing with client they depend on. I was planning to stay for One month but i moved out after three nights.

Staff molto accogliente e attento ai clienti. Condizioni generali delle camere buone anche se alcune mancano di manutenzione, sopratutto il sistema elettrico nei bagni. Posizione buona.

Only problem was that breakfast was not ready most days at 6:30am as promised. Which was only a problem due to morning meetings & appointments that left only a small window for breakfast. Otherwise the property was good and the staff very friendly and helpful.
