    One of the best boutique hotels in Nairobi. So much attention to detail in every aspect

  • Lena S.Google review · 7 Jan 2026

    This was my first time staying at Palacina and I really loved it. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. I’m quite active, so I really enjoyed using the gym and especially the indoor swimming pool — it was perfect for doing laps in the afternoons. The staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. I would definitely come back.

    Palacina holds a very special place for us. We keep coming back every time we’re in Nairobi, and each stay reinforces why. The consistency, comfort, and warmth are unmatched. The managers are fantastic, and the staff across all departments are genuinely kind and welcoming. Whether it’s housekeeping, the kitchen team, or the gardeners, everyone makes an effort to say hello and make you feel at home. It’s rare to find a place that maintains this level of care over so many visits. This time travelled alone for work the first two weeks and were later joined by my fiancée and my mum. We truly appreciate the entire Palacina team and I am already looking forward to come back.

    Thank you for an excellent reception by Hassan at 220am proving us a warm welcome and information about our room and meals. The Palacina is a beautiful lush oasis away from the bustle of Nairobi. The kitchen and server staff provide fresh coffee per request and excellent omlettes.

    We had a lovely two night stay - it was a great base for exploring Nairobi. The hotel is in a quiet residential location, away from the noise and pollution of the main roads. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Our room was nice and the bed incredibly comfortable. Food in the restaurant and the breakfast were both good. I’d stay here again for sure.
