First time but definitely not the last. Location is everything.. Perfect for couple of nights. Breakfast was very good, just by the pool. Don't expect luxury at this price but it's very comfy and staff is amazing.

The perfect place for a short or long stay in Nairobi. Apartments are cozy and spacious, comfortable and clean. Jessie was warm, communicative, and helped out with whatever I needed, as were other staff. Location is perfect, it was extremely convenient that Sarit Centre is down the block, with groceries and absolutely anything else you might need. The pool was a nice treat, I loved my daily evening swim before sunset.

Liked: Room comfort

It is ok, no frills.

This place is nice, but basic. No frills. There were a few things that were amiss. For example, when you arrive in the space, there is someone already in the place. They will be your housekeeper for your stay, but it is a little weird to walk into your space and already see someone inside. There was a broken glass in the kitchen and an unzipped pillow on the couch. The bistro is slow, and the staff seemed confused, not knowing the prices of coffee and although there is an all day breakfast, it only goes till noon. That being said, its an ok place. If you are going to have a long stay, this might be the place for you. The staff is friendly and helpful. This would not be the place for a short vacation.
