Find Hotels in Nanyuki, Kenya

This hotel has a great reputation in Kenya, which is a bit over-blown if you've travelled outside the country. The rooms are tired and dated. They look like something out of a 1930s movie -- and indeed all the photos on the wall indicate this once was a favorite stop of movie stars of that era. But the food more than makes up for it, and it's a great place to relax. I also really enjoyed the game drives, even though they ended up being really expensive because I was alone. If you go with a number of people, the price goes down significantly. The best thing about the hotel is the staff who are not only professionally but very friendly -- and they were just as friendly and welcoming to my Kenyan friends who came to pick me up for the drive back to Nairobi as they were to me, a paying guest. That is the test of a great hotel. This is a good stop on a circuit of Kenya, but keep your expectations in check.
