    TSH made my first time in Kenya really memorable. Execellent team of staff. They were super friendly and welcoming. Kept their smile all the way through. My room was awesome and well taken care of. Their restaurant, The Other Room, had great meals and some good music on the Friday night. Next time in Kenya, TSH it will be!!

    I stopped by the Social House for a quick lunch (The Other Room), and both the service and the food were excellent. We left feeling happy and full, but once I got back to the office, I realized I had accidentally left behind a small accessory that holds great sentimental and spiritual value for me. I called the front desk, and they responded quickly, reassuring me that they had found it and were keeping it safe. When I returned, the security guard, Gershom, greeted me with a big smile and handed it back to me. I was beyond relieved and grateful for their honesty and kindness. In fact, we were so appreciative that we decided to stay for lunch at Inca, the upstairs restaurant, and it was fantastic! A wonderful experience from start to finish.

    Very lovely place, has several different areas/restaurant, good food and ambience. Family friendly, very good staff. Service is a bit slow. But overall a very nice place in Nairobi.

    Really great hotel in Westlands. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, rooms were large and spotlessly clean, and the coffee in the lobby was great! Gym is small but functional, and there’s a great brewery and restaurant less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Would recommend.

    I had the most amazing time here. Customer service on point! Rooms were amazing, staff was amazing, food was amazing. I would definitely go back. I love the little chocolates in the room when you check in, loved the complimentary drinks. Loved the breakfast spread.
