Simply furnished quarters in a laid-back hotel featuring an outdoor pool, 2 restaurants & a gym.
Order the mandazi—it's the best in Kenya according to multiple visitors—and the bone soup if you want a quiet spot in Embu. The place is sliding downhill fast with water issues in rooms, so go for lunch and skip the overnight stay.

It hurts me to have to give this hotel a 2-star. I have always loved this place (having been raised in Embu). However,this hotel is rapidly degenerating. So I returned to Kenya after being away for 5...
I was very disappointed. Horrible accommodation. No water in the rooms and the water wasn't heating. I had a bad experience a few years back and thought they had improved but seems not. Wouldn't recom...
