Reviews and Ratings
I had a decent experience at the hotel overall. The staff were incredible and the gardens were lovely, which made for a nice environment. However, I found the bathrooms needed improvement with extremely hot water and lacked a good balance. The dining experience was marred by the absence of lighting, which was quite disappointing.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, where the peaceful grounds and great food helped me relax after a busy day. The locals were welcoming, and I enjoyed the atmosphere at the bars watching live football. However, some areas do need modernization, and I had a few issues with the shower and room decor that could use some TLC.
I had a quiet stay at this hotel, which is quite close to Embu town. The ambiance was serene, making it a pleasant escape. However, the service was lacking at times, especially when it came to getting attention from the staff. While the facilities include a nice pool and beautiful gardens, the overall condition of the hotel needs some updates.
The hotel has a beautiful garden and a tranquil country setting just a stone's throw from town. The rooms are clean, but certain ones, like room 14, can be noisy due to their proximity to the kitchen and bathroom. While the price at 4500 feels high for the service received, the large swimming pool and spacious restaurant are definite highlights. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi can be unstable in the rooms, and the food could use improvement.
