Pleasant grounds

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Lourdesiree L. Couples - 17/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall it was within our expectations, the grounds and buildings are lovely. It's history a charming reminder of Kenya under British. The rooms are not too big compared to Movenpick which I prefer. The socket by the desk in our room didn't work. It needs attention. Service from reception is good. Bartender slow in making drinks. Service from Tatu is good but food is average.

Brenda R. Couples - 18/12/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

I felt very cared for while there, security was tight, and when you entered you felt very welcomed. There was only one mistake, the staff instructed our hired car to go to the wrong airport (Wilson vs Kenyatta) even though my notes in the reservation clearly said Kenyatta. Thank goodness we left early enough to visit both airports and still catch our Kenyan Airways flight.
