Staff were outstanding. Atmosphere was lovely. Only quibble was the entrance area to our room was not well lit and there were stone steps, so easy to trip.

This is a lovely small hotel in a beautiful setting. Breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the verandah with a glass of wine in the afternoon watching the bird life. For a luxury experience without the crazy price some of the other hotels charge I would very much recommend

A wonderful find
A wonderful find outside of the hustle and bustle of the City Centre. I was in Nairobi for 3 days of work and found it a great, quiet base from which to attend meetings, but also to retreat to.
A very comfortable room and great common areas both inside and in the amazing garden.

A tranquil boutique hotel in Nariobi
KG is the perfect place to spend a couple of days whether acclimatizing to Kenya at the beginning of your trip or relaxing at the end after some hectic safari.
It is a small boutique hotel with very friendly and personal service. Steve and William were a great credit - you must definitely try one of Steve's signature cocktails.
The living space was just what was needed after a hectic trip and I highly recommend eating breakfast or dinner on the veranda!

Kenyan delight
It is a serene property. Rooms are small and comfortable. The rest of the place on the inside had plenty of places to sit and relax. The outside was the same and add the beautiful gardens and swimming pool. The owner and his staff were helpful and charming.

What a charming and beautifully decorated place. You could spend a day just going room to room and looking at everything. Beautiful grounds with a nice pool, and phenomenal food. Very much appreciated the a/c rooms (not all have them). The were extremely kind to organize transportation for us, and even a movie night. Really not necessary to spend the money that you do at some of the most expensive hotels in Karen Gables, when you get this incredible care and service with so much charm.

Beautiful, calm setting. Perfect for a respite after a long trip over from the states. Wonderful staff, good food, and lovely gardens and pool.

My husband and I stayed 1 night after our long journey to Nairobi. Absolutely adorable & precious manor. Super comfortable room, with easy access to fresh air, which greatly helped our jet lag. It is surrounded by beautiful grounds & offers a pool, which is great for relaxing and rejuvenating. We had exceptional service and great food.
