The Drexel House Kenya

The staff were so kind and thoughtful! We loved being warmly welcomed after a long flight with fresh local tea and by such lovely people. The room was very comfortable and clean, the breakfasts varied and delicious and the garden such a brilliant place to relax. Thank you to all the staff for their hospitality.

Jeg kan godt lide den sene udtjekning af rummet ved et sent fly. Meget dejlig have med mange fine planter og figurer. Meget flink ejer og personale.

A real oasis of peace and quiet, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of Nairobi.

The villa is surrounded by a beautiful, well-kept garden where chickens, pheasants and guinea fowl wander freely, adding to the charm of the place. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you really feel at home here.

Besides breakfast, there’s also a menu with a good selection of dishes that the chefs can prepare fresh for you at a time that suits you.

The villa itself is lovely, with just a few rooms, a cosy sitting area with a fireplace, and a small but very pleasant swimming pool. If the weather is nice, you can even enjoy your breakfast outside in the garden, which is a wonderful way to start the day.

It’s a peaceful, relaxing and safe place with a really special atmosphere. We loved our stay and would happily come back next time we’re in Nairobi. Highly recommended!

The property is located in a very quiet and peaceful area. The house is beautiful and well maintained, there is a beautiful garden to enjoy.
The staff was very kind and supportive during the stay. A great thanks to all the staff, specially to Mr Ken.

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel, de sfeer van het gebouw en de de fijne tuinen

The staff were very welcoming as soon as we arrived and happy to help with any questions we had, including advising on how to set up m-pesa. They were also able to prepare a packed lunch for us on a day where we were going to the national park.

Very helpful team. We were presented with a fantastic picnic breakfast for our 5.30am start to a game drive.

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The highlight of the stay was the kindness of everyone who worked there. We had dinner and were served by wonderful Kennedy, who was extremely professional and kind. I also had breakfast here and the portions and quality of the food is great. I highly recommend for anyone who would like to stay a few nights in Nairobi.

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil, la gentillesse et la disponibilité de toute l'équipe, quelle que soit l'heure.
L'histoire du Drexel House est intimement liée à celle de Dan, le propriétaire. J'ai adoré partager son histoire un petit matin tranquille pendant le petit déjeuner. Au fil de nos échanges, nos parcours respectives à des milliers de km se sont avérés parfois bien proches.
Dan est formidable, respectueux et respectable, une joie et un souvenir de l'avoir rencontré.
C'est sûr, nous nous reverrons!!!
Merci Dan d'avoir fait de notre séjour un moment suspendu dans cette maison de verdure, cet havre de paix.

Very hospitable stay - everyone was very helpful and friendly. Accommodation was good - clean and well maintained. Beautiful gardens. Very accommodating around serving dinner or breakfast to fit in around my travel plans.

This place is amazing, from the facilities to the owner and staff. We had a group event here for a couple of days, and the place was perfect for it. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The conference rooms worked great, and the gardens and multiple living rooms were perfect for meeting, relaxing, and enjoying our time together. One small recommendation would be to add one or two desks to one of the living rooms for guests who need to work.The premises are beautiful and full of charming little details to discover and enjoy.
The food was delicious and served in generous portions, both at breakfast and when we ordered lunch or dinner on the premises. Also goid vegetarian options. The location was also great, quiet and super safe, while still being just a short drive from some excellent restaurants in Nairobi.
The owner and staff were incredibly accommodating, making sure everything, from pickup arrangements to any other needs we had, was well taken care of. I would absolutely come back!

Amazing staff!

Joli jardin

Very quiet, lovely outdoor areas.

Quiet location, spacious room

Superb breakfast. Excellent chef.

This has been a 20 year passion project by Dan the owner and it shows. The house, cottages and gardens are truly amazing, from the birds and plants to the art collected over the years.

Dan spends time with all his guests and his enthusiasm is infectious. The rest of the team are all great and the food is delicious.

The flexibility on checkout is great as are the recommendations Dan gives.

As you can tell, would not hesitate to recommend.

Beautiful hotel and gardens, very relaxing, like a home from home, Dan and the staff were brilliant, they were so attentive and made beautiful home cooked food. We had a late flight and we could stay in cottage until we left for the airport. Which was such a treat, so were rested before our flight home. Highly recommend this hotel. A great way to end our safari holiday rested and relaxed.
