A very comfortable stay in upcountry Kenya. Easy to relax, easy to hangout with cosmopolitan cuisine. Who knew? Stylish though not as much as it’s Nairobi sibling the Social House.

One of Africa's Best-kept Secrets

Happily surprised to find this gem of a hotel tucked into this African city. Charming and beloved in just one visit. Food was some of the best we've eaten in Africa and very reasonably priced. Excellent service. Did not have to wait long to receive it.

We missed our first night there due to mechanical breakdown. But when we finally got there we found the hotel to be very nice. The restaurant offered very good food and a nice selection on the menu. Internet and TV both worked. The only problem we had was that when we got there, they required a PIN number to use a credit card (a problem we found everywhere in Africa). So, we took advantage of their wifi in their lobby and made an online reservation. Which was immediately accepted. We stayed there overnight before venturing on to Meru National Park. We probably could have driven on to Meru that day but my girlfriend was feeling sick so I insisted that we stay there so she could rest. It turned out to be a very good choice. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an hotel in the Meru area.
