Reviews and Ratings
I had a mostly great experience at the hotel with well-done interiors and clean, spacious rooms. The amenities were impressive, making my stay comfortable. However, I did face some issues with the dining experience, specifically the delay in getting brewed coffee in the mornings. Overall, it’s worth a visit for sure, despite a few hiccups.
I had a pleasant experience at this hotel, as it offered a serene escape from the bustling Nyeri Town. The rooms were fresh and comfortable, providing a good night's rest. However, the breakfast options could use improvement, especially the sausages, which were on the tougher side. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a short stay, but those looking for a venue to host events might want to reconsider.
The hotel has clean rooms and friendly staff, which made for a pleasant stay. However, the service could be improved as there were issues with room cleanliness and the dining experience was lacking in variety. The overall amenities were decent, but the restaurant experience hindered my enjoyment. For the price, I expected a bit more.
