I had never heard about the hotel even though I have visited Nakuru several times before. It was a very pleasant surprise and I must say one of the best hotels I have stayed in the area; definitely value for money. Our room was very spacious and very clean. The linen was very good and the bed very comfortable. It was conveniently located close to a big shopping mall and great restaurants. The buffet breakfast was very delicious with several good options. I highly recommend it and I hope to stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! Spacious room accommodations for our family of 5. Everyone working at the hotel was So kind and helpful. We couldn't get over how good the Indian food was at the restaurant--likely the best we've ever had! Definitely try the feta and coriander samosas. It was very easy for us to walk down to the mall and do some shopping as well. Would stay again!!

The staff gave me their friendship. In the times I have shared in Ole-Ken, my daily coming and going was uplifting. I deeply enjoyed the handshakes with the smiles. The verbal greetings were always there with enthusiasm and sincerity. I do not need to go to Ole-Ken to be encouraged, to be comfortable, to be satisfied, but it always occurs. Asante sana!
