Great location and many friendly staff members

Great location in the CBD, I walked to the city market, KICC, and lots of restaurants. The staff at breakfast were friendly and actually called me one morning when they didn’t see me so as to check on me. Security guards were helpful and I felt safe as a solo traveller. About 30 minutes to Kenyatta airport and many attractions

Gut für den Zwischenstop

Wir waren sowohl vor als auch nach unserer Safari im Chester. Die Zimmer sind wirklich groß und entsprechen der Beschreibung aber die Badezimmer insbesondere die Armatouren sind die reinste Katastrophe. Der service ist freundlich aber man muss, obwohl für zwei Personen gebucht, hinter der Ausstattung für die zweite Person hinterher telefonieren. Das Frühstück ist einfach Mega. Alles in allem o. K. um einen Zwischenstop einzulegen.
