This is an amazing place, an oasis in a busy metropolis. One wakes up to the sound of a waterfall, The rooms have an African feel, as if in a safari place. The Staff are very friendly. The owner is caring and helpful. The 'mama' is a wonderful lady who treats all the hotel guests as her own guests.

Didn't not like anything but some suggestions 1. Have a kettle with cups in each room. More efficient than having to walk up and down to fill up. 2. No cooking appliances, so maybe small hot plate as there is no restaurant.

Loved the ambience. Sound of the waterfall at night was so therapeutic. Bed was comfortable. Amenities were good. Staff were on hand to deal.to issues. Loved the breakfast arrangement.

Exceptional location right near a waterfall. Unique building with a stunning garden. Probably the only place you can truly relax in Nairobi. The staff were helpful and friendly and it was great to meet Norm. Will be visiting again next time I'm in Kenya.

The kitchen in the room could have equipped with knifes, spoons etc. However, after asking for it, they gave it to me immediately and again with kindness.

I was very intirgued by the kindness of everyone and the hospitaliy. One morning I overslept and they were still offering breakfast around noon. Any question I had was answered with extreme kindness. There are several seating areas by the hotel and options to smoke and just relax. The advertisement about the waterfall is completely correct and the guests feel like being in the wilderness somewhere although the city is around the corner.

Beautiful place directly next to a forest with basically a waterfall in the back yard. Very friendly, attentive, welcoming staff. Norman, the owner, is also a great guide who knows Nairobi and Kenia inside out - nothing to complain 😃

The double beds in the two rooms we had were not very wide, but the mattresses were comfortable. We arrived at night. No sign is visible from the street to indicate the hotel and the lighting behind the main gate was not sufficient to guide the guests towards the hotel.

Unique B&B set into a lush green setting next to a beautiful waterfall. The interior is classy, comfy and will please those that like modern architecture and design. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and a great breakfast is served. On top the personnel is very nice and helpful. The area is very green and interesting places are accessible in decent time for a metropolis.

Loved this place so much. It’s the most beautiful spot with thoughtful architecture and calming sound of the waterfalls in a very nice neighborhood. The staff were very kind and breakfast was amazing. They also offer dinner at an affordable price - delicious meal (feels like homemade!) from Mama Rose. I had a late flight on the day of check out and they let me hang around until late and I really appreciate. It feels like a home away from home.

Beautiful and impressed building. I chose this accommodation because of the design of the building and water fall views from rooms. I impressed a lot in details of the structure and the owner's (Famous architect) historical works in Kenya. If somebody loves architecture and mid-century designs, I really recommend this accommodation. It is worth to stay. We stayed only one night this time but I would love to stay there again and hear stories from the owner.

It is a little hard to find with the taxi.

The location of the hotel is excellent, in the middle of nature, with a nice sound of waterfall, especially if you want to go away from crouded and noisy city. The staff is nice and receptive for any request. My colleague got a flu and Mrs Rose was very caring, preparing special tea, bringing medicines and other relevant staff, which was very nice and appreciated. Cleaning is done regularly. Breakfast very good, includes fruits and something additional upon your choice.

The bed was a little hard but loved everything about the place otherwise.

This place is gorgeous. The architecture is so interesting with Frank Lloyd Wright vibes. The staff, particularly Judy, were wonderful. They were always ready to help and made a nice breakfast. The property is so lovely. A little private oasis just outside of very busy parts of Nairobi. Norman, who runs the place, and the son of the architect, responded quickly and was also very friendly. I loved my stay there!

Norman and his team are aware of things that can get better, like for example breakfast. Some days it's excellent, some days just an ordinary breakfast. If you're not up to big fancy glossy glamour but you prefer a place with a heart: this is the place. It's not perfect but it's just great.

Family run business. So 90 year old papa who designed the place is in the house (singing:). Frank Lloyd Wright is an inspiration and that you can feel in the beautiful building. Imagine sleeping next to a waterfall and lush nature in busy busy busy Nairobi: here it is. And the good thing is: it's cheap. And you can get everywhere you want by Uber, so distance is not a thing. For single travellers: here you feel comfortable. Just take an Uber taxi and you get everywhere you want. There is always the family and team that will make you feel at home. Excellent basis for trips around Nairobi. Excellent basis for a more longterm stay.

It´s a beautiful place, all rooms with a direct view to a waterfall. The hotel is small, and very stylish. Staff quickly starts feeling like family. They go out of their way to make sure one is comfortable. One night, we got home late from a meeting, hadn´t had food, and they still quickly prepared something to eat for us, after 11pm.

This truly is a one of a kind hotel. Designed by owner/architect Vetle Jorgensen, staying here is like living inside a secluded Frank Lloyd Wright house for a few days. The waterfall outside is incredibly soothing to listen to, and the landscaping and gardens are beautiful. What really makes this place special is the staff…your hosts Rose and son Norman - and their entire team - really focus on making you feel at home. I regret not booking a longer stay.

Nothing at all did we not like

After a 17 hr layover and no sleep on the plane my girlfriend and I arrived at this beautiful place early around 5am and we’re greeted with very friendly faces. They arranged pick up at the airport and it was seamless and super easy about 30 minutes away. When we got into our room all we heard was the sound of a amazing waterfall coming from the window which was so tranquil and peaceful to take a nap. Even though breakfast was only till around 10am, they were kind enough to still make it. This place has such a zen feeling and beautifully built and clean. The owner of the property’s son Norman was so kind and even offered to take us around town showing us all the highlights of his city and was so welcoming and now have a new friend from Kenya!
