Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: One of the best stays in Nairobi. Great staff at the restaurant, reception and rooms. Food was excellent. Amenities are top class. Location is very convenient. I would highly recommend The Residence at Karen.
Negative: This is just a suggestion. There was nowhere to sit during the rain. The rain came into the balcony making it impossible to sit outside, which meant sitting inside. Inside the bedroom there was a desk chair and a corner chair and not comfortable for two people. I suggest a sofa at the end of the bed with a coffee table.
Summary: I will be back.
