Fantastic place, gutted to only have a night there as was travelling on. But staff great, amazing facilities (was able to get a 5am run in the gym) - if I had longer would enjoy the pool and restaurant, and used it as base for national park. But regardless, great place - thank you!

Nice hotel, although rooms are somewhat outdated. Fantastic location by the national park (at least if you haven’t been in the country for safari), amazing to wake up and see the zebras grazing from my hotel window (ask for a room with a view of the park).

Beautiful room overlooking the Kenya National Park. Everything was clean. I love seeing all the African themed art, absolutely beautiful. The food was SO good. Every single employee was outstanding, kind and helpful. We ended up having to extend our stay due to a canceled flight back to the US, but honestly I love being here. The pool is wonderful, the grounds are beautifully landscaped. We recommend staying here.
