The hotel is in a stunning location, offering a glorious view of the waterfall and peaceful grounds. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although a bit gloomy and without air conditioning. Service was satisfactory, but could use some improvement. Dining options were limited, yet reasonably priced. Overall, it's a good spot for relaxation, but not ideal during the summer heat.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel, especially because the location is simply stunning with a glorious view of a waterfall. The rooms were pleasant and well maintained, which added a nice touch of luxury to my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the dining experience could use some improvement as the food selection was somewhat limited, and while I enjoyed the view, it didn't completely meet my expectations. Overall, it’s a great place for its price, but there's room for improvement in dining options.

The hotel offers a stunning location with a breathtaking view of a waterfall, making it a peaceful escape just outside Nairobi. However, the rooms are quite old and could really use some renovation, plus the lack of air conditioning might be uncomfortable during hot summer days. Service was satisfactory, but not outstanding, and the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, it's a decent value, particularly considering the majestic surroundings.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with a fantastic location near the bustling area of Thika and stunning views of the surrounding waterfalls. The rooms were clean, but the hot water situation in the sink was less than ideal. The dining options were rather limited, though still reasonably priced. Overall, it's a peaceful spot and great value for money, just not perfect in every aspect.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was really impressed by the location, which offered stunning views and a peaceful environment. The rooms, however, were a bit too small and could use some cleaning. The service was decent, with friendly staff, although not exceptional. While dining was affordable, the limited choices were disappointing, and the facilities were lacking a bit of upkeep. Overall, it’s a great spot if you love nature, but there are some areas that need improvement.

This hotel boasts a fantastic location right between two stunning natural falls, providing a serene atmosphere and beautiful views. The rooms are clean and spacious, but a little outdated and could use some renovations. The dining options were limited, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it offers good value for money given the beautiful surroundings, but don't expect modern amenities in the rooms.

The hotel is nicely situated between two stunning waterfalls, providing a serene environment that’s perfect for relaxation. The rooms need some updates and show signs of deferred maintenance, but the location with its glorious views makes up for it. Dining options are a bit limited and close early, which is a downside if you're looking for a late-night meal. Overall, the value for money is decent given the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere.
