Advantages: fully equipped and comfortable Disadvantages: expensive
fantastic. With full DSTV and all channels it comes with plenty to entertain you. Coming with complimentary water and all the others you expect of a 5 star hotel it certainly lives up to expectations. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is fully equipped with everything you will need for your stay. The best bit however is the perfect view across the park in central Nairobi from the french windows.

Advantages: Very goon indeed. Disadvantages: Can be dangerous
OK, the knife is made by the famous Stanley company, and a lot of people here will think it just a "Stanley knife".

Advantages: Convenient starting point to Kenyan and Tanzanian safaris Disadvantages: Area rather dangerous if out alone
First contact....
This was the first stopping point that my husband and I stayed on our honeymoon to Kenya and Tazania in July 2004. My husband's parents had very kindly booked and paid for our honeymoon as a wedding present. However, it is possible to make reservations for this hotel through expedia online, calling direct and by booking a "Serena Safari" where you stay in the 4 star Serena lodges and hotels which are dotted around Kenya and Tanzania.
Getting there...............
It took about 45 minutes by taxi to get to the hotel from Nairobi's International airport - mainly due to the traffic rather than the distance (18kms). My main observation on this journey was the very bizarre sight of giraffes on the open spaces beyond the roads!
First Impressions.......
The impressive hotel is set well off the road in lush green ...
