We had a wonderful stay. The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I especially loved having the fireplace lit in the room it made everything feel cozy and relaxing. The food was absolutely delicious as well. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d happily come back again.
I went with my husband and kids and it was wonderful. The à la carts restaurant was very good for dinner and there were lots of options for dinner. There were lots to do for kids including a maze, an animal orphanage, fishing and taking their dogs out for a walk. Benson ensured we were happy with our rooms so we appreciated his cheerful help! We had a great time! They arranged a wonderful safari for us with Francis. Ask for the feather pillows.
From start to finish, it was an absolute joy to stay here. It is a super special place and has everything you need to enjoy a few nights away from the city
My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairmount Mount Kenya Safari. On our next visit to Kenya we will stay longer than 2 nights so we can spend more time enjoying the hotel.
Precioso hotel, servicio impecable, muy buen desayuno, comidas correctas, algo lentos los camareros. Habitación y cuarto de baño grandes y cómodos. Vistas directas al monte Kenia. Jardines cuidadisimos, tiene posibilidad de elegir entre muchas actividades. Un poco ruidoso: es un hotel muy enfocado a familias.
Ett härligt ställe. Kan rekommenderas dock med reservation för att alla aktiviteter är på tok för dyra jmf. med likartade ställen. Priserna i minibaren i rummet är ett skämt.
The place is really beautiful. The staff are very friendly and their services are efficient i had a problem with hot water and is was fixed in minutes.
The fire place and hot water bottles at turndown was really good.
I feel the food needed some improvement especialy breakfast. Also consider serving pork on different stations not same with the other foods.
The hotel is a destination itself, with a view beyond the normal! Well worth visiting, for 1-3 nights.
But, the cost of the additional activities is shameless, 220 USD + entry fee for an hours drive to the foot of the mountain itself is way beyond fair. Likewise the same price, plus entry fee for a four hour safari.
No doubt the grounds and our suite was wonderful, the fireplace was a lovely touch. There were too many small things that went wrong which ended up making it an annoying and bad experience. Breakfast team took at least 40 minutes after opening to get coffee, toaster etc going after announced opening time to the frustration of many clients who had outdoor activities planned. Apparently this establishment does not serve butter... just margerine. No coffee service.There was no quiet place for other clients who were drowned out by a large extremely noisy group. Details in the rather costly suite : one mattress had a dent in it compared to other mattress... making it a slopiey experience. My pan seared fish was raw...which I sent back. husband ate his dinner alone - new fish took half an hour. I left grumpy and disappointed. Could not get away sooner..
I stayed here 30 years ago. The heart and soul of the place remains intact, with exquisitely appointed rooms. This is one of the finest hotels in the world. Stay here if you can.
The hotel was set in a fantastic area, the staff were fantastic & very helpful.
Food was diverse which will suit many taists.
There was plenty of space for kids to run around in.
The rooms were fantastic, clean & well maintained.
I will be going back again.
Beautiful, historic building. The grounds are breathtaking and very well maintained with peacocks and other colourful birds wondering around. Lots of activities to choose from.
Loved this place. Great rooms - comfy beds and fireplace. Fantastic bar and lounge area. Stunning grounds - golf course, pool, walking trails, and more. Would definitely recommend it while in Nanyuki.
