Great stay!

Beautiful property. Extremely safe. Gladys, the receptionist, was amazing- she made our trip as comfortable as possible. Breakfast was freshly cooked and quite good. Close to Giraffe Centre. Uber easy accessible. Would stay again.

The staff at Margarita House are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was quiet and clean. It would be helpful if they had towel racks in the bathroom, and we did have ask for an additional towel to use as a bathmat (but minor issues). We ate in their restaurant for breakfast (included) and dinner (extra). The food was good. Realize that likely most neighborhoods in Nairobi are not safe just to walk around. I felt very safe in the hotel, but it is not in a walkable area. However, it is close to several places of note in the Karen area of Nairobi.

Underbar vistelse!

Vi hade Margarita House som bas under 2 veckor i Kenya när vi gjorde safaris och utflykter till bl.a. Masai Mara, Crescent Island, Karura forest och Sheldrick Trust. På det sättet slapp vi släpa på alla resväskor och kunde resa lätt på utflykter och safaris och det var det värt alla gånger. Personalen är helt fantastisk, så hjälpsamma och vänliga. Mysigt poolområde och en välskött trädgård. Bra frukost och bra mat i restaurangen. Stort och rymligt rum som har varit rent och fräscht under hela vistelsen. Området är lugnt och fint en bit utanför centrum. Har varit perfekt för vår familj! Peter, Mary & Anna

Wir können die Unterkunft nur wärmstens ans Herz legen. Super freundliches Personal, hervorragendes Essen durch den Privatkoch des Eigentümers, welches man zu fast jeder Zeit erhalten kann. Saubere Zimmer, alle Bäder neu renoviert (zumindest in den beiden Zimmern wo wir nächtigen). Ruhige und sichere Gegend mit interessanten Häusern in der Nachbarschaft. Pool und Gym sind auch vorhanden. Fußläufig ca 10 Gehminuten von der Waterfront Mall entfernt. Alles in allem perfekt für einen kurzen Aufenthalt.

Comfortable but dated with excellent service.

Service was excellent and the room spacious and comfortable, but updating of the bathroom is overdue. The size of the bathroom would accommodate a stunning renovation. In the meantime even adding some counter top space would be an improvement. Location was excellent for visiting the Karen Blixen museum but not convenient for the city center. The drive from the airport was quick and easy.
