10/10 Exceptional

The perfect way to end our Kenya trip. After days on safari in the Masai Mara, arriving here felt like pure luxury. The staff were gracious and attentive from check-in to departure, and our room was immaculate, quiet, and wonderfully comfortable. Great rooftop lounge and pool.

Beautiful property with an incredible view of the national park. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed, and staff were friendly and helpful every step of the way. Breakfast was fantastic, and the restaurant was wonderful in the evening as well. We absolutely loved our stay and stay again without hesitation.

This is a fantastic hotel! It's on the south side of Nairobi, reasonably close to the airport. But, it's right up against the National Park; there are restaurants and bars on the third and tenth floor that overlook the park, and you can eat or drink and watch the occasional zebra and rhino and giraffe wander by! Bring binoculars! But even beyond that, the food is excellent, the rooms are clean and large, and the staff is overwhelmingly friendly, from the bell hop to the restaurant staff to the front desk. Would definitely stay here if I'm in Nairobi again.

6/10 Good

The hotel is clean and nice, but there is room for improvement. The café in the reception area makes a fantastic espresso. However, in the restaurant where breakfast is served, the espresso is not even drinkable. It tastes like dish soap, and when you order coffee or tea with breakfast, it can sometimes take 30 minutes. I’m not sure I would stay here again.

8/10 Very good

The swimming pool is very small. Rooms are very noisy but the ones on the National Park are a bit better. During 2 days, the rooftop and pool were privatised for a noisy party night and day. This was awful! On the bright side, the restaurant is good. Room-service is very limited and not the best dishes on the menu so don't use it and go to the restaurant, you will be surprised. The gift shop is a fraud. Some items have tagged prices, for the others you need to ask the shop attendant. I went first with my colleagues and my colleague bought bracelets at a certain price. I went back the next day alone and the price had tripled!!!

4/10 Fair

As frequent travellers, this sadly will be my first bad review. The hotel itself and the staff were great! Very friendly and helpful. Part of the reason for booking was the amazing rooftop pool and view! We were, however, extremely disappointed to find out there was an event going on which made the rooftop unusable! We attempted to use it and it was incredibly uncomfortable due to the young party crowd it drew in. We are up for a good time but we weren't made aware of the event that was open to the public and not hotel guests! We had to ask for a different room due to the excessive noise and vibration that shook the room. They were kind enough to give us a room in the older side hotel which was a big downgrade from what we had booked and there was no offer of compensation of any kind! There are many other options much cheaper in the area. We did NOT get what we paid for!

I really enjoy my stays at Emara Ole sereni. Everyone there is so friendly and the rooms are well kept, and I really enjoyed having a balcony this time. I can mention a few people who helped make my stay great: Peter Erick at security, Samuel, Lucy, Alex from the front desk, Brian, and Eunice from the shops, and there are so many more people at the hotel I cannot name. This is the only hotel that I stay at when I am in Nairobi.
