    As others have mentioned, sound insulation is poor and you can hear dogs barking and people talking outside. Not great if you're a light sleeper

    Staff very friendly, food is good, rooms are big, gym onsite with weights and cardio equipment. They upgraded us for free, which was a really nice surprise!

    Delightful hotel with exceptional staff

    There was no bar but given it is such a small hotel this is understandable. But as drinks were available at meal times and offered to us when by the pool this turned out to not be a problem. Reception not 24/7, again understandable due to size of hotel but that didn't matter as security is 24/7 so we were able to get back to our room after coming back from a gathering on new year's eve in the early hours. So really there was nothing to complain about.

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and meals we had there very tasty. The owner/manager even invited us to join her and her guests at her party when she saw us by the pool one afternoon. Pool was also lovely. Jesse the driver met us at the airport and took us to the hotel and he also did excursions which we took him up on and he made some great suggestions for activities.

    The staff are exceptional, from Joel who was very responsive when communicating prior to our arrival, to Gladys who was at reception and breakfast, she was incredible, always lovely, with a smile on her face and supper attentive and proactive. She gave us all info we needed, got our breakfast orders the night before so when we arrived for breakfast it was ready for us. The room was great, really big and extremely clean. I liked the location as it was close to the main attractions. Would definitely stay again!

    There are mosquitos in Karen - use the mosquito net provided :)

    Staff was outstanding. Miss Gladys went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and welcome. The chef was accommodating to our diet (vegan). The rooms were large and comfortable. Great location for wonderful restaurants and the Karen Blixen Museum. Also easy to get out of the city if you are driving

    Lighting in the rooms. We know electricity is expensive in Nairobi, but lighting made evening activities in the room difficult--reading, packing etc. I recommend an upgrade particularly for reading lamps and use LED bulbs to save $$.

    Staff made the stay! Wonderful service and really tried to find ways to make our stay easier and more comfortable. They held our extra luggage when we went to the coast for a few days without any additional cost and were really helpful for my daughter who had to stay a day on her own, letting her hang out and work before going to the airport in the evening. Thank you!

    Staying at the Margarita House was a treat, mainly because of Rachel, Natasha and Dennis! We felt so cared for by these lovely people. The rooms were lovely and the meals very tasty, especially the breakfast potatoes🙂 We would definitely stay here again. I recommend that if you use their driver, negotiate a price before using him, I had a bad experience.
