Safe & comfortable
The neighbourhood felt pretty safe, quiet, and had a few malls and restaurants nearby. Our friends living in Nairobi recommended it. The service was ok. The room was large and had all the amenities you would need.

Give this place a try! Very nice!
It was great. My main two issues were some annoying light flickering (seemed like a fire alarm) above my bed. I have experienced this a couple of times now. And for this stay, there must’ve been some construction that started perhaps around 8am. That woke me up. But overall, it was a great stay, and I suppose if construction has to be done, 8am is a fair time. I was just jet lagged. Server, Becky was great, and their bartender, Collins was great as well!
