Pros:

The location was awesome as it was easily accessible.
Breakfast and dinner were both buffet and lots of options to choose from.
They provided nice amenities including dental kit, shower cap, vanity kit, shampoo and shower gel.
The staff was friendly and welcoming.
The rooms were set to a nice and warm temperature.

Cons:

The resident parking meant we had to pass through service paths to access the main hotel.
The quantities of the shower gel and shampoo can be increased to be enough for 2 showers( night and morning)

Pros:

Staff so polite

Cons:

The windows are not soundproof they let noise in from the street making the room fell very noisy. I asked the reception to change the room but they told me that during the day there is noise but in the night there is no noise. Unfortunately, there is noise even nighttime… otherwise, I find the room so basic.

Great for an overnighter
Pros:

Lovely garden, nice enough breakfast, staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Bed was a little hard and room was hot as there was no aircon-until we worked out we could open the window without mozzies attacking

Short decent trip with Nakuru
Pros:

The hotel is in CBD of Nakuru so close access to malls, restaurants and shops. Buffet breakfast was good and had variety. Only 1 restaurant for lunch and dinner options but was affordable

Cons:

The rooms are facing CBD so it’s loud at night. The windows aren’t sound proof so you can hear cars, motorcycles and people. No AC or fan within rooms. So have to open windows to bring in air.

fantastic place to stay. An Oasis int the middle of a busy town.
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel right in the Centre of Nakuru opposite the market and close to all shops etc. The Hotel is spotless inside and the staff are so accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and high floored rooms have a great view. The Hotel has a lovely swimming pool and outside eating area and the restaurant provides freshly well cooked meals at a good price. Its a great place to stay, meet up with friends or just chill if on holiday. I've stayed here a couple of times now and will definitely be back again. Good value for money and secure hotel with security on the doors.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about with this hotel- always had exceptional service from friendly and polite staff and the hotel is spotless.
