A lovely little hotel.
We had a lovely stay here, a perfect place to land on arrival in Kenya. The staff were really kind and helpful and the food from the restaurant was delicious. Lovely views of the garden from our room.

The sheet wasn't clean, the food was cold . I booked online and given a cumulative discount of 15$ and pay at the premises. At the premises i was given a different price different from the online discount by expedia of 2072ksh but later the staffer was nice and agreed to give me a discount. But mostly on the kitchen side try to amend it

Poor service; delicious breakfast
Our experience here was not the best, starting with how hard it is to find the hotel itself but also how surprisingly hard it is to do the check-in, the reception was not found and we had to go to the bar to find someone to check us in. We arrived at 9 pm and the room wasn’t ready!!! We had to wait 30 mins when they gave us our room the floor was all wet from mapping. We got into our room only not to sleep since they had people talking in the alley, horrible. That wasn’t all, they had a problem with the water pump of whatever and only hot water was working, pardon me I mean boiling water. I couldn’t shower and I couldn’t barely sleep. The only good thing about it was the apology of the manager next morning while we had a delicious and natural breakfast (included) Be aware, we might have had bad luck

Do not go there!
Looks nothing like the photos. The room is in a dilapidated condition. The filthy, stained toilet and the sink even brushing my teeth made me feel sick. Everything looked overused. It needs to be revamped. I had booked for 2 2-night stay but only stayed for one. I had to leave and didn't even ask for a refund as I wanted to leave. I would never go back there again.
