1. Karen Plains Hotel

Karen

"From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I had the best treatment ever as I was welcomed with cheerful smile and great hospitality. A lady called Sharon who welcomed me went out of her way to make me feel at home and made me settle in well. The room was a great standard and kitted out with all modern cons. I will definitely book here again. The close proximity to the mall makes it more ideal. "

10/10 Exceptional

Clean hotel, very quiet area away from busy areas, close to a mall and lot of restaurants with short uber drive. Very friendly staff, good food, clean spacious rooms. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment suite , spacious and great value for money. No a/c, has a pedestal fan, very comfortable sleep. My only concern is our bed, probably needs replacing. There is construction for expansion outside, but did not have any negative effects on our stay! Highly recommend !

This is a beautiful, modern, clean, new facility. The rooms were impeccable. Plenty of hot water and fast responsive wireless internet. The food from the restaurant was above average. The morning breakfast buffet was better than you get at most American hotels. The staff was super friendly, accommodating, and just a wonderful example of the type of people I always meet in Kenya. I had guests accompanying me and I was honored to have them at this facility. This is a great place to host...
