Not For Me
Pros:

I appreciated how responsive they were to my inquires. They arranged a driver for me who I continued to use during my time here. The staff was pleasant. There was someone to check me in even though I arrived after 1:30 a.m.

Cons:

I understand that properties have to present themselves in the best possible light. Its business, I get it. While my room was clean, it definitely needed attention. The was evidence of water damage. With of the coffee bar, the facility had the feel of a family home (toys at the entrance and a play area behind the restaurant.) The photo gives the impression of an old estate, but that was not the case. I wound up leaving one night; there was work being done to fix a water pump. It was so loud that I couldn't sleep, and to be there for four days. The manager have offered me a different room, but there's no way the rouse been an issue. I'm used to modest accommodations but the noise was untenable. Because of policy concerning modification of reservations I will not be refunded for the unused days.

Peu cher et bien placé, mais décevant
Pros:

L'emplacement proche du Village Market et du Compound UN
Le personnel aux petits soins, souriant

Cons:

Le lit peu confortable, la table qui ne permet pas de travailler, les bruits de balai ou de musique tôt le matin tous les jours (même la fin de semaine), la douche qui est tiède 2 minutes puis froide ou gelée tout le reste du temps

Pros:

A small and familiar space. The room is small and the desk is not for working, but it has a nice terrace that opens onto a beautiful garden, where you can work. The house-roasted coffee and the roaster in the corner of the garden are a must for any coffee lover. It has a Chinese kitchen and i is 5 minutes walk from the amazing Village Market with shops and restaurants, and Fridays the colourful massai market with handmade local goods.

Cons:

Sometimes the place felt a little too cozy and therefore noisy.

Difficult to recommend
Pros:

The rooms were cleaned well each day, which was appreciated, although not all rooms are equipped with mosquito nets.

The house and garden area have clear potential, but are currently tired and worn, and would benefit from renovation and more consistent maintenance.

Cons:

Unfortunately, we had no hot water on any morning throughout our stay — despite daily assurances it would be fixed.

The regular daily burning of trash (including plastic) in an old oil barrel next to the guest rooms — despite repeated assurances this would stop — made relaxation very difficult.

In this case, the combination of unresolved basic services and ongoing disturbances made the place difficult to recommend.

Pros:

Lovely cafe on-site, very safe area (although quite impersonal and quiet - lots of embassies and UN) and nice staff. I only stayed for one night, so I can't say much more.

Cons:

The bed was quite hard, and breakfast could have been a bit more and more flavorful. Otherwise no complaints, would recommend!

Attenzione alla stanza due
Pros:

È in ottima posizione a Runda e il prezzo è concorrenziale. Le stanze hanno un bagno ampio. Molto pulito.

Cons:

La stanza 2 è adiacente a un compressore che ha continuato a funzionare con rumore molto alto tutta la notte non permettendo di dormire. Molta confusione sul dove poter lasciare le valigie dopo il checkout in attesa del transfer
