I booked this hotel for a one-night stay after our flight was canceled and our journey home was delayed until the next day. I chose the hotel because of its location in a safe area with good shopping options. We had a spacious suite with a kitchen, and it was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The included breakfast was really good. We also had lunch at the hotel restaurant, which was good and reasonably priced. My kids had a quick swim in the pool, even though the weather wasn’t great, but it was a nice pool. The staff were very helpful, especially when it came to making sure we could get safely to the airport, as the city was shut down due to protests. I can definitely recommend this place.

Breakfast (includes a cooked option) lunch or dinner was great, nice and informal, they will do anything to please if you have any additional requests. A home from home, room was clean, modern and nice bathroom with flat screen TV. Good wifi and very nice garden and pool. Excellent value for money for the secure and safe location.

The staff were very friendly, kind and helpful. The vibe was welcoming and family run, but professional. They are kind enough to store luggage whilst we were away. The sound of the river is very relaxing and the trees and water makes it cool. The architecture is unique and rooms clean and tidy. Thank you!

I liked the pool, the breakfast on the terrace and the relaxing environment. The place is very clean. Standard room are very nice, but budget room is very small and the showers is bad. Some members of the staff are extremely nice, like Susan, others make trubles... Overall in a good place to stay, we spent 2 weeks and the location was good for us because we needed to travel to magadi everyday.
