Very luxurious property. Well kept, spotless. Many nice restaurants, including delicious pizza. Good gym. The staff is what makes this hotel so excellent, they can’t do enough for you. In particular, Naomi at the front desk was amazing.

I had an amazing experience! The view of the national park, the service, hospitality, kindness, and cleanliness were exceptional. I really loved the spacious and serene environment within the city. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nairobi, especially those coming from the West. Truly an unforgettable stay!”

I had not intended to book the new wing of the Ole-Sereni hotel but it was fine, just slightly disappointing. It's typically business/conference oriented. The restaurant is on an upper level restoring the dining view across Nairobi National Park which was lost in the original hotel. Convenient for the airport and well-appointed if a little boring.

This is undoubtedly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. First night on checkin staff lied to me and charged me an extra $500 dollars. Everyone I know had food poisoning, they lepft a wet patch on marble floor so I twisted ankle, knee and hurt back. They overcharge for everything such as tours and lifts to airport. If you complain they miraculously can't speak English properly or understand you. Don't waste your money go somewhere else like JW Marriott or Kempinski

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emara Ole-sereni, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtful amenities provided. The hotel’s dining options were excellent — the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, every meal was a treat. What really stood out to me was the overall ambiance of the hotel. It strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Thank you, Emara Ole-sereni, for a wonderful stay. I look forward to returning in the future!

Beautiful property with views of Nairobi National Park - I managed to spot some animals from my hotel room (giraffes, gazelles). The food/buffet was very nice with many different options and reasonably priced.

This hotel is pure luxury! Not only is it overlooking Nairobi National Park but the rooftop pool is beautiful. The beds are comfy and soft. The breakfast and dinner buffet are so delicious! We ordered room service for one of my nights and the food was so savory. I highly recommend this hotel
