Reviews and Ratings
My stay was a mix of ups and downs at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfy, offering stunning views of Mt Kenya and the grounds, but cleanliness fell short with a bath full of small rubbish. The service, though average in friendliness, was accommodating and courteous. The location was truly outstanding, set amidst lush grounds with majestic views of Mount Kenya. However, the dining experience lacked vegetarian options despite serving fresh and delectable dishes. The facilities were satisfactory, but some attention to cleanliness is needed.
The hotel offers gorgeous and spacious rooms that are stunning and spotlessly clean, but they exhibit a dated and heritage feel in need of refurbishment with mismatched tiles and a scruffy-looking couch. The service is super nice and friendly, completing a wonderful experience. The location boasts beautiful decor and amenities amidst a small conservancy with majestic views of Mount Kenya. However, the dining experience may not meet the fine dining prices charged, with limited exciting options on the menu.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms but in need of refurbishment, with spacious yet slightly dated interiors. The service is exceptional, although lacks some leadership. The location is picturesque with stunning views of Mt. Kenya, but the dining experience falls short with limited options. Overall, a serene setting with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful, with spacious and comfortable rooms offering views of Mt Kenya and beautiful grounds. The location was incredible with stunning views and well-maintained greens, perfect for a memorable breakfast.
