The AC did not work. The room door lock malfunctioned. The mattress was inferior in terms of comfort; springy box mattress. The breakfast was limited to mostly canned items and processed food items, with a limited variety of fresh fruits and meat.

I really enjoy my stays at Emara Ole sereni. Everyone there is so friendly and the rooms are well kept, and I really enjoyed having a balcony this time. I can mention a few people who helped make my stay great: Peter Erick at security, Samuel, Lucy, Alex from the front desk, Brian, and Eunice from the shops, and there are so many more people at the hotel I cannot name. This is the only hotel that I stay at when I am in Nairobi.

I was not able to use the rooftop bar area either day of my stay because of special events, which I think are quite frequent these days. Very disappointing because the rooftop bar was a big part of my reason for choosing to stay at Emara.

Extremely Disappointing – We Left Mid-Stay Despite No Refund I booked a four-night business trip at Emara Ole-Sereni, and it turned out to be one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The reception service was chaotic – long lines, disorganized check-in, and rude, unhelpful staff who made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. The room cleanliness was unacceptable. It was clear that proper housekeeping standards are not being followed – dusty surfaces, stained linens, and an overall lack of hygiene that made it uncomfortable to stay. Despite having no refund option, we made the decision to cut our stay short and move to another hotel. That’s how bad it was. I would strongly advise business travelers and tourists alike to look elsewhere. This hotel does not live up to its reputation or pricing.

This is undoubtedly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. First night on checkin staff lied to me and charged me an extra $500 dollars. Everyone I know had food poisoning, they lepft a wet patch on marble floor so I twisted ankle, knee and hurt back. They overcharge for everything such as tours and lifts to airport. If you complain they miraculously can't speak English properly or understand you. Don't waste your money go somewhere else like JW Marriott or Kempinski
