The Glacier Hotel
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Nanyuki
About
The breakfast buffet is the highlight — wide variety, fresh, and tasty — and the staff are exceptionally friendly. Just know the rooms run small with tight bathroom space, and the windows aren't soundproof.

It was clean, but not equiped with modern bathroom and wrote noisy since windows are not soundproof at all. Breakfast was okay from a European standpoint.

Nice hotel, with great and welcoming staff. Food and the rooms are also great. Good place to chill and catch a vibe.

Service, check in and breakfast all friendly and reasonably up to standard. The room is too small. Can't move around the bed, bathroom is an afterthought. Won't stay again.
