    This place is just a short 10-15 minute walk from Montessori Plus Centre, which was perfect for me. Plus, I only needed 5 minutes to reach the bus station from here.

    The free Wi-Fi was so slow I could use it as a meditation exercise. The housekeeping was conveniently forgetful, so I got to enjoy my own little scavenger hunt every day. The taxi service was a thrilling roller coaster ride, just without the safety measures.

    Oh, how I missed having a hot shower! The hotel's water basin for shaving was the perfect temperature for growing ice cubes, but unfortunately not so great for shaving.

The rooms are spacious and come with quality amenities such as clinic shampoo and comfortable beds. The hotel's location is convenient, being close to Nairobi in the 90s, restaurants, and Karura Forest. it was a good stay as always.
