Do not stay here if you need a good night of sleep. The hotel is nice in appearance although it is a sprawling mess of a facility. Some rooms face a national park which is nice, others face a highway. Restaurants are eh - food is decent but service takes forever and the main restaurant isn’t ventilated properly so there is an insane amount of smoke indoors. On Fridays and Saturdays there is incredibly loud music on the roof until midnight and you will be screwed if you are trying to sleep. Every room in the hotel vibrates. We had to be asked to be moved (and it took a half hour. Service is slow) to a lower floor, which was just as bad. Rooms themselves are nice enough and new enough. Bed is springy but nothing awful. You can do so much better for the same price I would avoid this place.

Loved the Sky Lounge during sunset, the atmosphere and music was perfect! The staff are great, loved the food and drinks. Overall, such a very beautiful hotel would definitely recommend popping in any day for drinks over the Nairobi National Park or even plane watching.
