The property is conveniently located between both airports, sits on the edge of Nairobi's National Park, has comfortable rooms with soft beds and a couple very nice restaurant/lounge areas, including a rooftop bar with expansive views and a nice vibe.

Beautiful property with views of Nairobi National Park - I managed to spot some animals from my hotel room (giraffes, gazelles). The food/buffet was very nice with many different options and reasonably priced.
