Хороший исторический отель. Прекрасные сотрудники, вкусный завтрак с большим выбором блюд. Одно удовольствие. Хорошее расположение. Прекрасное постельное белье. До SGR Nairobi Terminus, если без пробок, то ехать около 30-35 минут.

Cons:

Проблемы с розетками. Здание старое и под розетки не рассчитанное.

Unplanned stay, but wonderful experience
Pros:

Having been unable to fly home because of flight cancellation, we were lucky enough to find this wonderful hotel. All the staff were professional, friendly, and efficient. Concierge Steve, Pool Deck Bar Eunice (fabulous Mojitos!), Thorn Tree John, along with William, Annette, Catherine, Stella, Caroline and Joseph, to name but a few! Situated in the CBD, close to restaurants and coffee bars, the hotel is delightful: live music in the Exchange Bar, a variety of food in each of the hotel bars/restaurant; the atmosphere is just perfect! The pool looked inviting, as did the spa and gym. The rooms were well equipped and cleaned meticulously: all communal areas were very well kept with beautiful flower arrangements. All in all, a blissful experience!
