    I loved it! I was looking for a spot off the beaten path that’s quiet, comfortable and peaceful and I found just that. I’ll stay longer next time!

    Nature surroundings, beautiful and modern interior. Loved the flower decors in the grounds

    The bedrooms were in separate huts, despite being advertised as a two-room suite. Not ideal if you want to sleep in a different room from children. They were also lacking fans.

    Nice rooms and pool, great provisions and food cooked by the chef, excellent location for safari in the national park - highly recommend Raphael as a guide. Very friendly staff.

    The Taxi fare, too expensive, 27 $ to go to the south gate national park, that’s totally overpriced for local standards.

    the staff were nice, cleanness, very good value for money.

    The food. Prices are extremely high for what you get. We then decided to order Indian food at a place recommended by the accommodation which was much better and for 1/5 of the price.

    Very nice and quiet place, beautiful cottages, nice view over the park, really a place to relax

    The road to get to the cottages is bumpy and sandy.

    Our accommodation comprise 3 lovely cottages with 2 separate rooms and 1 living/kitchen area. Pool area is fantastic for a relaxing time. You forget you are in Nairobi city!

    Not a complaint, but if you got dropped off by taxi and dont have a car, you will need your own food to cook, or get a taxi to town. You could walk, but not advised after dark.

    Lovely quiet place if you don't want to stay in nairobi. Absolutely no noise, facilities were very good.

    Wouldn't have changed anything

    Nyati Hill Cottages are an oasis of calm much needed after a long flight. Views into Nairobi National Park were exceptional and you can see wildlife in the distance - giraffes, zebra, gazelle, buffaloes etc. Self catering facilities and meals cooked if you wanted. Very tasty dishes cooked by Mary. Chalo was on hand for any wants and needs - very efficient, professional and friendly. Mall with supermarket, shops etc about 20 mins. Highly recommend this place for short or long stay. A home from home. Bernard the driver was great & picked us up from the airport including our pet and drove us to the malls and into Nairobi. David the other driver was also great and drove us from Nyati to Mombasa. We felt safe and relaxed during this long trip to the coast

    Nice compound but...
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room with Shower
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There was literally nobody staying there but me and the staff was basically invisible. I was looking for a quiet place but not a lonely one. I was the only guest, a solo traveller on top and staff was kind of absent. It felt pretty weird almost surreal. I wish I would have known that before or the staff would have been a little more attentive, communicative and interested in their only guest. I felt I kind disturbed them and the tranquility.

    The compound is in a remote area, beautyful but rather small. The houses are nicely done, with beautiful flowers around and the rooms were clean but the mosquito net unfortunately had holes. I was shown my room/house at arrival by a not so friendly - I don't know who he really was. He was the only staff I met. Nobody else there. Breakfast ingredients were shown to me in the kitchen that wasn't attached to the room but an extra kitchen house opposite my room, so whenever I need something I had to go outside, also at night. I had to make breakfast myself another thing I didn't expect. I thought the kitchen use was meant for making lunch or dinner during my stay (I knew there was no restaurant through the description on booking.com) and breakfast was being served in a common area but there is no such place.

    For the place to be more updated and the food wasn’t really to our tastes or great for our 4 kids, but the chef was lovely and we were well looked after.

    We loved the location of this property, but he rooms were basic but traditional and felt authentic. The facilities like the bathrooms and kitchen are very dated but all worked. It is tired and basic but the friendly housekeeper and chef and the location made it the perfect choice for us. You can see the zebras, baboons, buffalo from the terrace as you look over the park and enjoy some drinks. Ideal!

    there is nothing I liked about it

    it’s absolutely overrated and doesn’t deserve the price at all they are not operating professionally and no enough bath items inside the net wasn’t good worst was the towels . very old and uncomfortable by conclusion I would say it’s absolutely unfair to suggest this kind of place to someone with such a price
