About

Airy rooms & cottages on a 40-hectare estate featuring a bright restaurant & a simple bar.

The steak and the Hot Toddy 'dawa' drink are standouts, and the rooms have Mt. Kenya views that make you want to stay an extra night. Staff went out of their way to accommodate dietary needs for an ill guest, and the filling breakfast and comfortable beds seal the deal.

    Everything at Soames Hotel was lovely, from the rooms with Mt Kenya views to the service to the ambience and the attentive staff. The staff went out of their way to sort my dietary requirements, as I was ill prior to the visit. I will definitely be back soon!

    Wonderful two-night visit with Wine & Food Society. Excellent staff could not have been more accommodating. Good food, comfortable rooms and stunning view. Thank you. We will be back.

    A perfect stopover on the way to samburu or beyond, or just a couple of days exploring Nanyuki and nearby attractions. Very comfortable beds, beautiful rooms and quality bedding. Highly recommended

    I had a fantastic stay at Soames. I was on business travel. The food was AMAZING! Filling breakfast and my favourite has to be the steak and the Hot Toddy 'dawa' drink. It's a 3 minutes drive from the road. The service was incredible, polite and attentive waiters and the rooms were quite comfortable and warm. You don't need to carry extra blankets. If you are looking for simple, cozy and affordable, Soames is definitely the place!

    We recently hosted a dinner party for about 55 guests at Soames Hotel in Nanyuki, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, the staff went above and beyond to make the planning process seamless—offering helpful suggestions, tailoring a special menu just for our event, and making sure every detail was taken care of. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and communication was efficient and easy throughout. On the day itself, the venue was simply stunning. Guests enjoyed cocktails by the pond in a serene setting before moving on to a beautiful candlelit buffet dinner. The atmosphere, service, and food were all exceptional, and we received nothing but compliments from everyone who attended. If you’re looking for a venue in Nanyuki that combines excellent service, delicious food, and a truly charming setting, I cannot recommend Soames Hotel highly enough. They helped make our event memorable and effortless.
