"I am from the US, so according to the US standards, this property was average at best. The hotel room was cleaned every day. I felt my things were safe there. We had no issues with safety. There were fresh water bottles every day. The bathrooms functioned well, and there was no mold. The room was spacious enough. The location was very convenient for me. I would never find it if I didn't have a driver, though. The service was excellent. The team was friendly, very accommodating, and prompt....

"The hotel is very convenient just off the main Nakuru - Mombasa highway. The bedroom was good and clean, but the bathroom was not working well, had standing water on the floor and not so clean. The staff were helpful, but for some reason my online booking was not received and so it was lucky they had space and I had to get cash to pay. The hotel could be heading in the right direction, but needs more attention to the detail they have in the bedroom to other aspects of the facilities"

"Bel endroit, un peu vieillot mais avec tous les services nécessaires et un personnel hors pair. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Beaucoup de marches, et surtout le restaurant qui est en haut d'un colline. L'endroit n'est pas très bien adapté pour les persoones à mobilité réduite, mais il y a des voiturettes de golf pour les déplacements. Excellent buffet déjeuner et très bon resto. À recommander."
