About

Homey, air-conditioned rooms in a casual hotel offering a restaurant, a bar & meeting space.

Ask for a garden-side room to escape the noise, and you'll get genuinely clean rooms with strong value. Hot water is inconsistent in some rooms, and staff friendliness varies, but they let one guest check in at 6am and charge only one night despite a 5am checkout — that's rare flexibility.

If you value clean rooms, get your accommodation here. True value for money

The "garden" side rooms are great, not so noisy.. love to sit at the circular window in the restaurant and watch the hustle outside.. managed to get early 6am checkin, checked out 5am next day and paid only one night, was looking for such hotel specifically, since with the traffic is best to travel at night.. love the big mirrors in the rooms..

Har to obtaining the correct address Uber Bolt don't want to pick up often a huge way around back to the right side of Murang'a Road

I visit this hotel once every week. The rooms are okay but not all of them, some don't have hot showers but u will be told to wait for five minutes but still they will not warm the water. Again there are friendly staff and also very unfriendly staff who will not listen to your concern until u request for your refund. U will call them early before 4pm to request for iron box only for u to get there at 9pm and ur told ironbox is kept by housekeeper and they will come in at 7 in the morning. Rooms pricing is not standard as there days ur given rooms near the road at a specific price and the ones at the center at a higher price. Also the rooms are dusty. Even buying a drink with big note u will be requested to look for a smaller note and when u decide to leave the drink is when the receptionist goes to look for loose money from colleagues...as i said have been sleeping here for sometimes and am looking forward to getting a different one going forward. But u can give a trial maybe it was a bad day for me!

The hotel was easy to find and centrally located which makes going to other places in Nairobi very convenient. The staff were warm and helpful and the facilities were great. Would definitely come back again if I'm in Nairobi
