Set just 11 km from Kenyatta International Conference Centre, Villa Rock Stop Falls offers accommodation in Nairobi with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

The villa is a remarkable place both for its beauty and for the community it creates at the lovely breakfast table with free bananas with its window looking out onto the rushing river. The architecture of the building seamlessly combines with the natural landscape and the garden is bursting with life and small nooks that are perfect to either curl up and read or enjoy nature. Waking up to a view of the trees and the river in the sun was a pure joy. The hotel staff were beyond kind and warm, and I truly cannot recommend staying here enough.

This is a fantastic boutique hotel that offers a home away from home feeling. The room was spotless, the garden was a real treat and I particularly appreciated the hammock! The standout factor is the staff who are friendly, helpful and super professional. I will definitely be staying again on my next visit.

    I liked the pool, the breakfast on the terrace and the relaxing environment. The place is very clean. Standard room are very nice, but budget room is very small and the showers is bad. Some members of the staff are extremely nice, like Susan, others make trubles... Overall in a good place to stay, we spent 2 weeks and the location was good for us because we needed to travel to magadi everyday.

    The entire apartment was luxurious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality utensils and top of the line equipment. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms were spotless. The property is very well maintained and the staff are wonderful. The location is great as well, yaya centre right next door has a lot of great restaurants and places to shop for curios that are significantly cheaper than the curio shops along the highway. Would definitely go back whenever I visit Nairobi again.
