The only complaint about Eka was the quality of the food was below what we have experienced at other locations,including camps, during our safari journey, but honestly we didn’t come for the food.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The Eka Hotel was a very positive surprise ... so I extended my 4 first nights with 7 more. Very well trained staff - exceptionally helpful and pleasant! Must add a unique experience: In the hurry to get off with taxi to catch my early morning flight, I forgot a small bag with my 2 smart-phones, a number of bank/ credit cards and a few other "small" things. I noticed it while still in the taxi on the way to the airport ... too late to return without missing my flight. Wonders above all wonders: When I opened my e-mail account at the Schipol Airport (AMS), the Eka management had already sent me a "Lost and Found" notification, specifying exactly what I had left behind. During the last couple of days I have communicated with the management and sorted out how to have the items returned to me. Exemplary attention!!!

The rooms are top notch - very palatial. The pool is nice but it's only open til 6pm. It certainly should stay open later. I had a great massage at the spa for a very reasonable price. The gift shop is really good with unique quality gifts. The bar and restaurant have great selection. The breads at breakfast were stale and I did not like the breakfast selection.

Clean, comfortable, modern hotel for business travelers and for the many safari tour operators. Service was spotty as no one picked us up at the airport for the transfer that was ordered and confirmed. Spa services were excellent, though the facility was basic and lacked modern amenities.

I booked to stay at Eka after i missed my connecting flight. From the time i arrived, the staff were friendly and helpful. they assisted me with the bags to the hotel and to my room. I later went out to eat and at the most delicious roasted meat, ugali and spinach (Kenyan cuisine or something form the menu). The rooms are spacious and quite, for a good night/day rest! Check-out was fast, efficient and drive to the airport also same professionalism and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you are looking for a property near the airport!

The Property is nice, clean and modern. Rooms are on the small side but comfortable. checkin was smooth, not issues. Restaurant on the other hand was not good, we went to have lunch (open buffet), we were seated on a dirty table, no one came to ask if we wanted anything to drink, and if we had walked out no one would have known that were there in first place. The food was nice but limited selection. Overall The hotel is nice for a short trip but restaurant not worth the money.
