The Kyaka Hotel

The Kyaka hotel situated very close to Nairobi is great for short business trips. The staff are very friendly and the food delicious thanks to the Chief chef Mr Paul Malinge. The rooms are clean and adequate space.

It has been a whole since I visited this hotel and when a conference opportunity came up, gladly took it up, as it was being hosted in the hotel. Right from the gate, to the reception and support of the team reflects a team that is committed to serve. When I checked in, one of the staff came to check on me if everything was okay. This was not for me and promised myself to always come back whenever an opportunity arises. The hotel is in a u Quiet place, and their rates are very friendly.

Travelled for a work related non residential conference. The staff are very professional and quite courteous. We were surprised with a thank you card and cake from the hotel on our last day of the conference. Very serene environment, has wifi, adult and baby pool available. Hotel is accessible by matatu.

Had planned for an overnight stay with my family (spouse and 2 kids 7&4), checked a couple of other places with "similar" standards and opted for The Kyaka Hotel, primarily the rooms smelt fresh and habitable, unlike the others that were musty. Also they had smart TV with free wifi connectivity. The staff from security through reception were warm, professional and welcoming. Couldn't get a room to accommodate all of us, checked out the apartments they had, but the rooms were decibel of better quality, opted to take two rooms (each of us taking one with 1 kid) As soon as we checked in, decided for the kids to shower, alas the water was cold took awhile to get that sorted, then it was only luke warm. Then tried to connect the TV, smart? Was unable to connect to the wifi. As we checked in were told to dial 0 for assistance. If only the phones in the rooms were working. Had to go down to the reception to have them address the issues, for the phone (started working later - no idea how) was given their mobile 📲 number to call. The showers, no curtain, so literally the whole bathroom was wet, including the toilet seat (should have put the lid on) so more work to dry the whole floor, in order to use the toilet and sink. Water is a bit hard, hence the soap doesn't lather well, the gel a must use. Ordered dinner, took awhile, kids were on edge being hungry. But I most say, amazing food, fresh and with flavor, worth the wait. Would I come back here, most definitely, the staff dedication to resolve the issues was commendable. It's not about a facility not having problems, they do happen, but it's about how best they resolve or try to resolve it.

I am currently staying at the hotel while attending a workshop. They have great workshop facilities which seems to be their speciality. However, they do not seem to place great focus on the accommodation experience. I could not sleep last night due to mosquitoes. They also took too long to clean up my room. It had not been cleaned by 2.30 pm. I had planned to use the room for my zoom calls but had to look for an alternative place while they cleaned the room late in the afternoon.

This was an amazing experience. I went over for Valentine's Dinner and the customer service was top-notch, and the food was so tasty too! They had a live saxophonist and the set-up was just dreamy. The rooms were heavenly and so clean, I had the best time ever. I would definitely recommend planning your staycation here.
