A beautiful place, clean and well kept, with a beautiful view as well. Check-in was mostly smooth but we had a small issue with the key being unavailable at first. But I really enjoyed the plane and the experience overall and would gladly return.

Great location, it’s a new building and everything is so nice. The host was amazing and really made sure I was comfortable. Nice pool, nice view of Nairobi and I felt safe as a female solo traveller. I would definitely book again my next time in Nairobi.

The building is still under construction. If you’re a late sleeper you’ll most likely up to hammers banging etc. The pool area was also not finished so I would choose this place solely because of that. I’m sure it will be great once construction is fully complete but the price will most likely go up.
