Fair
Pros:

I felt like I was overcharged, I only took an omelette and pancake and a cup of tea, I thought it was charged on order and later , I was told they charge breakfast at ksh.2000, if I had been given this information earlier and I would have made a more informed decision

Cons:

Better information at check in

Nice but needs critical improvements!
Pros:

The location is great, the room is generally clean. Staffs were quite helpful.

Cons:

There was no hot water throughout my four-night stay. The first night, we all had to take cold showers. In the coming days, there was only moderately warm shower. The last day, it became cold again.

Excellent!
Pros:

The location, room sizes, heating in the room as it was a cold month in Nairobi,the staff and the ambience.

Cons:

The air diffuser at the reception, it was too perfumed. Being asked to pay for a container to carry food from breakfast restaurant to my room yet other people just carried food without paying.
