    I stayed 3 nights there but nothing to complain! All the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was really good (they had restaurant for lunch/dinner as well) and the location was very convenient! You are in the heart of Nairobi and walking distance to many cool places. If you are looking to experience local life and not too fussed about the place being the 5 star luxury experience, this place will do it. The room was very decent for the price as well.
