Went right after my wedding. As you can imagine my wife and I were completely knackered! Front desk staff were very helpful and got us settled in ASAP. Our room had some special arrangements, petals, congratulation messages and complimentary fruit bowls to welcome us. Couldn't take in much of the room. Just showered and slept. I did however notice the room and bathroom were PRISTINELY kempt, and the water pressure in the shower just takes all your troubles away 😍 Next morning, breakfast, that's when I got to see the actual place. The grounds are beautiful! Clean green grass. Tasteful props scattered across the gardens. We had breakfast on the terrace area overlooking the swimming pool. There's marvelous intended went into the design of each space, both interior and exterior. The terrace is the perfect place to unwind looking out onto the Limuru's green countryside. Service was very attentive. Every inch of this hotel, every nook and cranny is super clean. Which is very impressive considering all the colonial style wood paneling they have, chandeliers, walls sconces etc. I was very very impressed. The design blending the old with the new, the super attentive staff, the attention to detail, the insanely good value for money: honestly 10/10 😍

The service was exceptional, and the food absolutely top-notch! I could go on and on about the staff. The supervisor, James Mbanda, was incredibly responsive and handled all our requests with such diligence and grace. The hotel manager, Tom, was also exceptionally friendly and supportive. I can’t recommend this place enough it’s truly a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend! 🙌👏

What a delight to revisit this iconic colonial hotel tucked away in the lush tea suburbs of Kenya! After several months, I was overjoyed to see remarkable improvements that made this stay truly memorable. The staff were wonderfully attentive and welcoming, with the ever-smiling waitress Joyce serving delicious meals promptly, adding a warm touch to every dining experience. The reception team, led by the highly professional Kigen, ensured a seamless check-in, setting the tone for a fantastic visit. The hotel grounds were a sight to behold, with impeccably trimmed, vibrant green lawns that enhanced the serene ambiance. Our room, lovingly maintained by Sabina, was spotless and filled with the enchanting scent of jasmine flowers, creating a cozy and inviting retreat. Breakfast was an absolute highlight, boasting a colorful array of fresh fruits and delectable pastries that left us spoiled for choice. The massage treatment was pure bliss, further elevating the sense of indulgence. It’s evident that new leadership has instilled a guest-first approach, transforming the experience into something truly special. The only minor drawbacks were the worn furniture in need of reupholstering and a slightly neglected gym and pool area. Nonetheless, this visit felt like a royal escape, brimming with warmth and charm. I’m already looking forward to my next stay at this delightful haven!
