I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emara Ole-sereni, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtful amenities provided. The hotel’s dining options were excellent — the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, every meal was a treat. What really stood out to me was the overall ambiance of the hotel. It strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Thank you, Emara Ole-sereni, for a wonderful stay. I look forward to returning in the future!

I had not intended to book the new wing of the Ole-Sereni hotel but it was fine, just slightly disappointing. It's typically business/conference oriented. The restaurant is on an upper level restoring the dining view across Nairobi National Park which was lost in the original hotel. Convenient for the airport and well-appointed if a little boring.

I arranged an airport pick-up with the hotel and nobody came to pick me up. I ended up taking the airport taxi. I pointed it out to the receptionist during check-in and the person did not seem to care. No apology. That was a really bad first impression. The room was average and definitely not a 5 star hotel. There were three elevators but it took forever to get on one, either they were just really slow or had electrical and mechanical problems.
