Limited choice of drinks. Beverages and alcoholic. The wine was good!

This house got style. Although recently build, you can feel as if it has a great history. The nice staff completes it. I want to mention Jeremiah, not to forget the others.

At night there was a neighbor dog that barked all night. It didn’t bother us too much but maybe a fan would drown out the noise.

The Drexel house is a smaller place to stay. Don’t picture huge hotel. That being said I loved every minute of it. The staff got to know our names and the grounds were absolutely stunning. Laying out by the pool was a great day.

Walls between rooms are thin and when someone was in an adjacent room - you could hear everything. Routine of burning debris created a lot of smoke that impacted enjoying time in the gardens / by the pool.

The Drexel House was a private and calming escape after our safari. Property is lush and very well cared for. Staff are thoughtful and charming as well as skilled. Food was made with love and very tasty. (The butternut soup was among my favorite dishes of our entire trip across Kenya!) We even saw some incredible birds we had not encountered on safari while sitting outside during our stay. Location is very close to the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center as well as good food options.

The bathtub was a bit deceiving as there was no warm water. Shower was warm, but pressure was very weak (hard to wash long hair)

Friendly staff and beautiful garden/interior

A guest in a friend’s home, that’s the feeling one gets when staying here. Every staff member greets you by name and are helpful and welcoming. The rooms, garden, and common areas are comfortable and kept spotless. Enjoyed having tea with Dan and learning about the history of this house and his visions for the future. He has thought through each detail to make your stay comfortable. I started my trip here at Drexel House left for other travels around Kenya and they happily stored a bag. Upon my return I felt like I was coming back to my Kenyan home. Dan even had a garden BBQ for myself and our group returning from a Nyumbo celebration. It was beautifully executed and delicious. It made for a very special last night in Kenya for everyone there. My flight out was late night and since my room wasn’t booked for that day they allowed me to keep the room enjoy Nairobi and then shower and freshen up before heading off to the airport that night. From start to finish Drexel house made my stays in Nairobi comfortable

The bed was very hard

The staff were amazing - second to none

The only thing that didn’t work was the shower.

The breakfast was served with smiles. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Dinner was good 😊

The only reason we’ve given a 9 for comfort is that the shower was not great as cold water pressure was very poor. Didn’t spoil our stay though.

It had real Kenyan charm, spotlessly clean and beautiful and peaceful gardens. Staff were great and just wanted us to have a good time. Bedroom was spacious and comfortable. Late checkout was a real bonus.

The beds were a bit hard, but I have back troubles and getting a decent bed is tricky! Dogs barking in the night, not the fault of the hotel, but annoying nonetheless.

I loved the traditional Kenyan vibe and all the little extras, such as toothbrushes supplied, chocolates on the bed, coffee available free of charge, hot towels and dawa on arrival. The owner Dan is fascinating and I loved hearing about the evolution of the building project. The staff were simply outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. I greatly appreciated the upgrade to a bigger, lighter room. The pool was a real bonus.

Everything was perfect.

We changed the reservation from Nairobi center to Karen. The decision was the best ever. We arrive in a paradise house. Dan was telling to us the building's story and the hotel name's story..amazing.. We were fully positive surprise regarding the kindness of the staff. They offer to us a room upgrade. We really enjoy the living room with the fire. Everything was perfect.

The friendliest, kindest place I’ve ever stayed - we felt welcomed from the heart, and wonderfully looked after throughout our short stay at this beautiful, original guesthouse. Thank you to the entire team at the Drexel house!
