Great location and many friendly staff members

Great location in the CBD, I walked to the city market, KICC, and lots of restaurants. The staff at breakfast were friendly and actually called me one morning when they didn’t see me so as to check on me. Security guards were helpful and I felt safe as a solo traveller. About 30 minutes to Kenyatta airport and many attractions

The views from my room showed how beautiful the area is with nearby parks and soaring hawks, egrets and swallows nearby. The nearby streets require you pay attention to your surroundings.

Am overall pleased with my stay. the staff were cooperative and welcoming. The location is wow Though problems could occur they should be fixed on time. I was a bit annoyed for not being able to enter my room whenever I wanted because of the problem with the room card was not fixed throughout my stay.
