The hotel is situated in Milimani Estate. It is in a quiet leafy neighbourhood and is cool and quaint. The hotel has excellent rooms and serves excellent food. It has facilities for conferences of whatever size and wonderful modern board room for more intimate board meetings away from your office surroundings. The prices are very reasonable too. Service is friendly and very good. Recommended to all
