    Nice hotel but not excellent!

    The pool area is very exposed, not a pleasant place to suntan or hang out as you are directly in front of diners at the restaurant.

    Beautiful finishing touches and attention to detail in the rooms.

    If you are looking for quiet and serene stay, you may want to choose another hotel because there's music going on till midnight and it could be heard from our room (maybe some event was on?). But for us, that's also special vibrant atmosphere, and we enjoyed it.

    Every time we step out of our room, cleaning is done, robes are on hangers, everything is neat back again. In the balcony, jasmin flowers are adding special note for our stay. Breakfast on the top floor is also beautiful. Staff are superb and welcoming.

    Everything was excellent!

    The staff ahhhmmmazing, Sandra the receptionist was awesome, all the staff from Francis Annjohi, and Pauline. And most importantly the chef that felt the need to cook for my friend, with stomach bug, fresh handmade soup at 5am after a long travel. The hotel manager calling to check on her the following day. There is so much I can go on and on with about this hotel. The immaculate security, the fresh brewed Kenyan tea at check in, the fresh flowers all over the hotel even in each hotel bathroom, the hotel brunch with DJ. I would stay here over and over again!

    The location is great if you want to explore the city. The place itself has such a cool and young vibe to it that we ended up spending a lot of time at the hotel restaurants. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Nairobi again.

    The music from the rooftop restaurant was quite loud from the rooms. I liked that it didnt go on all night.

    Loved everything. The Room was lovely, I absolutely loved the choice of interior decor. Security getting into the building, getting to the rooms was top notch. Cosy with a comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was incredibly tasty. We got to try two different restaurants, Inca and Copper. Copper was perfect for date night, very intimate. Inca was also great for a drink and hang out.

    Windows cannot be opened, rooms with balcony and windows that can be opened apparently all face the street, loud traffic noise. I thought dinner in the restaurant was overpriced, menu limited, small portions. Both restaurants seem to cater for outside guests who are looking for a special meal for going out, not for longer staying hotel guests who are just hungry after a long day. Makes it difficult for hotel guests as there are no alternative restaurants around. Snack counter in the lobby only offers sweet cakes, no sandwiches etc. Breakfast was nice, but service very slow.

    I liked the atmosphere, staff was very helpful and friendly, going the extra mile. Furniture and design exceptional.

    Nothing. Just good to know that we need to book in advance for some of the restaurants.

    Very stylish boutique hotel, amazing vibe, yummy food, super professional and very helpful staff. The restaurants are very good, and it's perfect both for work during the day and a party vibe on the roof top in the evening. Rooms are spacious, loved the attention to detail, clean and elegant design. I actually extended my stay twice because we liked it so much.

    Noone was in the pool and seems like noone really can use it as ppl are in the restaurant next to it and kinda staring on their laptops. The food wasn't great we had the fries which have an awful sacue on and the cheese rolls very tasteless. Flooding in the bathroom.

    Really cool hotel. Cool decor. Cool vibe. Cool rooms. Nice pool area. Cool rooftop bar. Love the smeg fridges in the room and the bathroom is cool but flooded when we showered. Free water in the room which is great 👍we loved being able to choose a welcome drink, much better than a random jucie like other hotels 😅
