Great stay at Palacina and highly recommend
Pros:

Great stay at Palacina !!! Room was spacious, very clean and super comfortable. Breakfast was great and the service at all times, from all staff, thru out was the best. The lounge and dinner/breakfast area is set in a lush canopy of trees and shrubs and loved eating and having beers there. Also, several restaurants and bars within very close walking distance. Highly recommend.

Pleasant, always
Pros:

We are regulars at Palacina. Our expectations are met 95% of the time and when something goes wrong, as life isn't perfect, we are always pleased by the effort the team makes to rectify it.

We love the leafy green environment with the lively sound of the river.

We love the pool, gym and sauna. We might try a massage one day, but these three are sufficient for our active lifestyle.

We love breakfast. An orchard of fruit, tons of delicious, fluffy pastries. Shout out to Chef Mohammed. Chef, hope you'll try the Greek pastries we talked about.

Just one thing: the apartment block is cold! Palacina, get some heaters in there. We are not all trying to get AC in May-June weather :)

So pleasing to be back
Pros:

After 3 years residency at the Palacina, I left with fond memories of this quiet bespoke oasis of Nairobi. Nine years later, returning for a short visit I found that comforting familiarity I had missed. Many of the staff who I knew by name, were still present. They greeted me as if I'd only been away for a period of weeks, indicative of what I'd always believed, that if you keep the staff content, the guests are the beneficiaries. In the bustle of a fast paced growing city, the Palacina provides that quiet corner of solace where frenetic agendas dissipate at the gate and one moves into a slower more contemplative mode.

A Moment of Calm
Pros:

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a solo escape at Palacina The Residence & The Suites, and it was exactly what I needed. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and perfectly suited for unwinding away from the usual routine.

A highlight of my visit was the complimentary 45-minute massage, which was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The therapist was professional and attentive, creating a soothing experience that left me feeling refreshed and recharged.

Overall, my time at Palacina was peaceful and well worth it. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking to enjoy some quiet, personal time while indulging in a touch of luxury.
