The rooms are run down for the price I paid and the bed was squawking with every turn I made. The bath tab had molds. I have spent the night in a cheaper and much better hotel in Ruiru.
Garbage hotel had booked 13 nights and just stayed one. Nothing is as advertised. Deluxe room with no microwave and no mini fridge. No safe in the room and they post signs in the room that they are not responsible for your belongings. You can hear sounds from rooms 3 door down. STAY AWAY!!!!!
Forced to park way too far from the property, literally deep in the woods, and walk to the hotel. Due to the fact that the bar open to public and there are live performances they get priority not the residents.
Had to beg for the assistance to bring luggage to my room, the sleeping front desk personnel protesting she was working “ alone” I don’t do the staffing, so can not help how many staff are on duty.
THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. THERES A BROWN LADY WITH SHORT HAIR THAT TREATS PEOPLE WITH SO MUCH HATE. MY HUSBAND AND I WILL NEVER STAYING THERE AGAIN.
ROOM SERVICE TAKES TWO HOURS LONG.
The worst customer service I have ever experienced. When checking out they act like you’ll run away with their little money even though they have your credit card on file. If you’re white they treat you like a god. But if you’re African you’re discriminated against. Pathetic place to stay. I won’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Stay away

Run down bad service
Had to argue that I got free breakfast as that’s what i booked. Service was poor at best. Took too long to get my food and never saw a waiter until I had to flag them down to get my check.
No showers. Moldy bathrooms. The cold water faucet in the tub was broken. Property is beginning to display a run down state. Staff not very helpful. Very disappointing

Decent value option in Ruiru. Cleanliness of rooms was acceptable for the price. Convenient location for business at Kenyatta University or JKUAT along the Thika Highway. Several shopping malls within a few minutes' drive.

Chose this hotel for a team facilitating a workshop at JKAUT. The hotel is reasonably close (15 mins by taxi) and not expensive. The restaurant and bar were more than OK - the gym and spa were friendly and provided a good basic service. Did not use the large outdoor pool because it was rather cool. The hotel has a bit of wear and tear and needs a bit of modernising. For instance the shower was one that you have to hand hold while crouching in the bath.
The wife was fine most of the time. Occaissionally flaky in the rooms it could always be accessed from the main lobby area. The road to the hotel is unpaved but all signs were that it will soon become a tarmac road. Good choice for a business trip involving JKAUT. As the hotel is on the Thika road - it is about 30 mins away from Thika and associated tourist attractions. Traffic in any direction is prone to jams during peak hours. Would use again.
