The Midland Hotel, Nakuru
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Nakuru
About
Refined hotel, dating from 1906, offering indoor & outdoor restaurants, plus meeting space & a bar.
This 1906 classic keeps its 70s aesthetic intact β gorgeous colonial decor and a roadside location perfect for transit stops. Food quality has dropped from its grilled chicken glory days, but the rooms are clean and the service is solid.

The only thing I truly enjoyed about my stay was the assistance from my tour guide, Linus. He was incredibly supportive and always there to help with everything β a real highlight of the trip. About the HoteI, I couldnβt take a proper shower because the water was either boiling hot or freezing cold. I informed the staff, and someone came to check, confirmed the issue, but nothing was done. I also politely asked for a late checkout of just a few hours, but I was told I had to pay for an extra night instead. In the end, I had to change hotels with their approval.

I have known this hotel from the early 90s. It was famous for it's grilled chicken. My late Dad would take me there for breakfast, lunch and dinner when I was still in college. I made it a must stopover for my children to reminisce on that happy childhood. Recently, I had an important occasion and chose it as the rendezvous. The elder in our entourage ordered for fish. Tilapia to be precise. Midland does not serve fish. Be warned β οΈ accordingly π

I had dinner on September 11th at 10:00 PM at the hotel restaurant where Iβm staying. I ordered one white Martini (200 shillings). When the bill arrived, they charged me 400 shillings for two. I told the waitress I had only ordered one, but she said she had served me two shots and that I had to pay. Even though I explained again that I only asked for one Martini, she just said βsorry for the misunderstandingβ but insisted I must pay the full 400. Very disappointing service from this waitress who refused to correct the bill even knowing it was unfair.
