Palacina The Residence & The Suites

Joli Boutique Hotel dans style colonial intimiste au cœur de Nairobi . Grande chambre et personnel très disponible et courtois .

Our stay at Palacina Hotel & Suites was a highlight of our time in Nairobi, offering a lasting sense of warmth and tranquillity from the moment we arrived.

The property is a peaceful oasis, set among tall trees and lush gardens, with charming touches like a resident tortoise and vibrant birdlife that enhance its calm atmosphere.

What truly sets Palacina apart is its people. Every member of staff was consistently warm, welcoming, cheerful, and efficient, creating a genuine sense of home. Our apartment was impeccably maintained each day by Lilian, reflecting the hotel’s high standards.

The ambience is relaxed and inviting, with music throughout the day, live jazz on Thursdays, and a talented pianist. Thoughtful gestures—like complimentary snacks brought to us on the terrace—added to the experience.

Palacina strikes a rare balance of being both uplifting and deeply relaxing, with a warmth and hospitality that are hard to find. We leave with wonderful memories and sincere gratitude, and we will truly miss this special place.

Great location, free self-serve laundry (detergent provided), and a swimming pool, gym and sauna. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. They even left us some delicious cookies when we checked in. The restaurant was also delightful, no need to leave the hotel and were able to get some R&R after exploring Nairobi National Park. Service is top notch!

The experience has been one of a kind.As a tourist, one has a lot of inhibitions. But Palacina addressed them all. Warm and attentive staff made our stay relaxing.The room was amazing, the facilities were to the point.Maybe the food menu for dinner can entail more options. The overall experience was amazing.The location of the hotel is such that it has restaurants nearby which is great.

Établissement très calme, personnel extrêmement agréable

This is a lovely hotel and the staff was very accommodating. We were given a Large suite and because it was our anniversary, the bed covered with rose petals as was the bathtub. What a nice surprise as well as a bottle of wine.

Thank you Palacina for an incredible stay. The space in the three bedroom residence was just what we needed after traveling from the US. We arrived late and night and they had sandwiches and food for us in the room waiting. The transfer pickup from the hotel was super easy and reliable. The hotel is located in a very safe part of Nairobi. We also used their driving service to take us around the city and was wonderful. The food was great and morning was a buffet breakfast with fresh omelet station included in your rate. The staff was exceptionally friendly especially Victoria. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay we will be back!

Great location Great atmosphere Amazing staff.
The room we stayed in the family room 2 bedroom was not upto the standards I expected. Lights not working, water cold phone to reception not working.
One room had no air conditioning.
Great breakfast.
May be good for long term stay but would skip for overnight stay. Not worth the price.
Staff were excellent and it was what makes me give the hotel 3 star review.
For international travelers no
Charging ports or adapters.

I would not stay there again

Amazing location (nice garden in Kilimani).
The team is great, listening to customers, and taking care of any needs.
Le indoor pool is a plus in Nairobi cold season.
Thanks a lot!

It was my first experience at a spa and I truly loved it. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I was tense at the beginning but by the time I was leaving, I was looking forward to the next spa date.

Wow! What a beautiful place! One of our best stays ever. Great, spacious suites with balconies located in a very green area, well kept. Two pools, the inside one heated. Restaurant on the premises. Great security and staff super helpful. You cannot beat the prices in their souvenir shop, not only beautiful, artsy things but prices are much lower than you find anywhere - and you are left alone to look around and choose not being harassed like in other places. We wish we stayed longer.

The rooms are huge. While we didn’t cook, it had everything needed if you wanted to do so. Lovely grounds with an outdoor pool, an indoor pool and sauna. The massage I had was good. Bistro served great food with live music in the evenings. The most outstanding feature though was the staff. Always smiling, cheerful and ready to help. Our most enjoyable stay during our Africa trip. Highly recommend.

My friend and I had the privilege of staying at Palacina, and our experience was truly exceptional. Every part of the hotel reflects the tremendous thought, care, and attention to detail that went into its design. The property is beautifully maintained, and its location is perfect—conveniently situated and easily accessible to many key attractions and destinations.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Samson, Caroline, Hezron, Sean, and Tony (apologies if we have missed any names), as well as the entire hotel team. The level of hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the staff was outstanding and played a significant role in making our stay so memorable.
We look forward to returning in the future and will undoubtedly choose Palacina again as our home away from home.
Thank you all for your dedication and excellent service—keep up the fantastic work!

My stay at Palacina The Residence & The Suites was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism. The hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and tranquility, making it feel like a home away from home.

The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and exceptionally clean. The peaceful atmosphere, lush surroundings, and excellent amenities made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment of my stay. The dining experience was wonderful, and the overall attention to detail throughout the property was impressive. The hotel is widely praised for its spacious accommodations, exceptional cleanliness, and attentive service, and it certainly lived up to that reputation.

What truly made my visit memorable, however, was the incredible staff. A special thank you to Sampson, whose kindness, professionalism, and genuine care stood out throughout my stay. He went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met and made me feel valued as a guest. Employees like Sampson are a true asset to Palacina and are a big reason why guests look forward to returning. Other guest reviews have also highlighted Sampson’s thoughtful and engaging service.

I highly recommend Palacina to anyone visiting Nairobi, whether for business or leisure. The combination of beautiful accommodations, outstanding hospitality, and exceptional staff creates an experience that is second to none. I look forward to returning in the future.

Thank you, Sampson and the entire Palacina team, for making my stay so special! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
