Clean. Great internet. Bathroom fixtures worn but functional. Nice walk to UN Compound, US embassy, Village Market. I didn't try use the pool. My room faced a main highway so things were a bit noisy sometimes. ##### Lawrence ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seth Mar 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities a ##### Seth Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eston Jul 30, 2023 Not clean ##### Eston Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Markku Jan 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Nice location and staff, could use some renovation The good stuff: the location is great with lots of food options and a mall in walking distance, as well as some beautiful outdoors, and the staff are friendly and do their job well. Special shout out to the laundry service that cleaned any amount of clothes for just 1000Ksh a pop. The not so good stuff: the Wi-Fi in the room was patchy at best, nonexistent at worst. The bed was probably the worst I've slept in: a worn-out mattress and fluffy pillow combined to offer barely any back or neck support, leading to a lot of painkillers being a necessity. Also, the heater for the shower seemed to be wired a bit dangerously as I got some electric tingles from the taps turning off the water. ##### Markku Stayed 11 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### SHARAF QASEM ALI Nov 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, Staff very nice and helpful. ##### SHARAF QASEM ALI Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Everline Konyo Oct 6, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here before. The service snd the stay was exellent the reason i came back. But when i came back things were different. I landed late. I called the place to inform that i will be checking inn by midnight. By the time i arrived the staff had slept but after a shirt while i was checked inn by the most hard faced young man. I thought he was tired. The bathroom lights were not functioning he promised me it will be fixed in the morning. When i asked for a room change it was not possible because it was full which is understandable. The problem was his almost hostile responses i actually even asked him if he ever smiles with guests. The following day i was out all day, by the time i came back in the evening the bathroom lights were not fixed. The guy at the reseption was not there but i luckily got help eith the light by the friendly kitchen stuff and the guard. The cottage guest House is a lovely place. The guy who checked me inn should not be a face of any place dealing with client they depend on. I was planning to stay for One month but i moved out after three nights. ##### Everline Konyo Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 21, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The toilet was broken, the hotel had construction workers work through the night, mosquito infested. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel Apr 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Very calm and comfortable, serene and breathtaking ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandy, USA Feb 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice lobby, good room.
