The Drexel House Kenya

Lovely staff. Beautiful gardens. Lovely building. Close to Nairobi National Park and other sites.

Weather was unusually cold in Nairobi during our stay and the cottage had very little insulation so it was very cold at night.

The quiet; the style of the building. The kindness and professionalism of the staff.

Nothin

Breakfast was fantastic. The outdoor area was beautiful. Felt very safe.

It did seem a little empty at times, which is great if you want the place all to yourself, but not if you want to meet other people and to stay somewhere that is more lively. Location was not the best either but Karen is pretty spread out in general.

Check in was confusing. We were served a drink and asked for Breakfast order before we checked in and settled after a long day of travel. And one of our party got locked out of the property for 15 minutes after a walk. But the grounds were lovely.

After a day in the buzzing city of Nairobi, Drexel House is like stepping into a peaceful oasis. The moment we arrived, we felt the tranquility wash over us, birds singing, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, and the chaos of the city fading into the background. I was traveling with my 6-year-old son, and he summed it up best: “The boss is nice, the girls too. The fruit juice was yummy. Good food. Sleeping in bed was fun. Waking up was fun too. I like the house and also inside. Tasty ice cream. We could chill. I swam from one side to the other.” Honestly, I couldn’t have put it better myself! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, especially to my son. It’s rare to find a place that feels so genuine, where hospitality isn’t just a job but a natural way of being. The house itself is stylish, comfortable, and just a short drive from Nairobi. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat while exploring the city, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!

The staff were really helpful and friendly

Nothing

The room was comfortable and the food was amazing. Delicious vegetable curry. They accommodated gluten free and dairy sensitivities.

Nothing - all good

This is a very peaceful, safe hotel with a lovely garden and pool and exceptionally helpful staff.

The bungalows could do with refurbishment and the mattresses are rock hard. The food could be better.

Great Service, very friendly staff, beautiful garden
