Pros:

Friendly staff, good food, comfortable bed and room

Cons:

A bit noisy due to traffic - and we were on the quiet/gamepark side. This is not the hotel's fault though - they have built new roads!

Comfortabele beds but noisy
Pros:

Friendly & helpfull staff. Good breakfast. Cosy hotel & rooms.

Cons:

Noisy rooms: you can hear the cars passing by, hear everything on the hallway and the neighbouring rooms (so poor isolation). High commission for money exchange at the reception. Sparkling water with breakfast is extra charged.

Pros:

Nous avons été surclassés de façon magnifique sur le Ole Sereni Esmera. Pour notre part nous avons bénéficié d'une suite pour 1 nuit et d'autre part nos amis ont bénéficié d'une chambre avec balcon donnant sur le Parc National pour la première nuit également. Agréable surprise pour notre arrivée au Kenya

Fint hotell nära flygplatsen
Pros:

Det ligger nära flyplatsen, så perfekt vid mellanlandning i Nairobi, men också bra som utgångspunkt vid lite längre turistande i Nairobi med omnejd. Mycket bra restaurang. En av de bättre i hela Nairobi.

Cons:

Inget alls att klaga på. Möjligtvis lite lyhört mot korridoren, men inget som störde nämnvärt.
