"We stayed in this lovely hotel for 3 nights with no regrets, Daniel at the reception is warm enough to make you extend from 1 night to 3, he had 2 rooms for us to choose from. The rooms are sparkling clean, beds neatly made, clean towels and the lady in floor 6 is wonderful.

The Encore Hotel Nakuru

📍 The Encore Hotel, Menengai, Nakuru

"Took my girlfriend here last night for a date, and it was everything we hoped for. From the moment we sat down, the ambience was spot on cozy, warm lighting, the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment. Easily a 10/10. Our server, Bosibori, made the whole experience. She paid close attention to every little detail and made sure we felt genuinely looked after all evening, which made it so much easier to just relax and enjoy the company. The food itself was excellent huge credit to the kitchen team for the flavors, and the plating was beautiful. Every dish looked as good as it tasted, and Bosibori made sure it was presented to us really well too. We’ll definitely be back. If you’re planning a date night, this is the spot!"

Taidy's Suites - Nakuru
8.0 (7 reviews)

Taidy's Suites - Nakuru ★★★

📍 Odinga Avenue & Gusii Rd, Biashara, Nakuru

"We were in transit and needed a place to rest. we Got to Nakuru at around 1am. A friend had once recommended this hotel and we thought of trying it out. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst mistake. • Your personal space and privacy is not guaranteed. A staff together used their card to access our room in the middle of the night accompanied by a drunk female. • Norman the night receptionist displayed a very negative attitude from the time he picked our call when we were making an enquiry on room availability to when he was checking us into our room. • The place is extremely noisy from unruly guests and deafening music from the bar upstairs. • Breakfast buffet is a scam. Cold, unsavory meals. Very limited choices. • Be prepared to use lukewarm water flowing in form of drops to clean yourself."

Claire de Lune Moonlight Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is centrally located, directly opposite the local bus terminal, which is often crowded and noisy. However, the hotel itself was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful throughout our stay. While the food was average, the overall experience was pleasant. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay when travelling to or from Nairobi, especially if you are looking for budget-friendly accommodation."

"The eagle palace was a great, clean and comfortable stay for us in Nakuru. The rooms are big and have all the necessaties, the bathroom was also huge. We had to leave at 5.30 am in the morning and they arranged for breakfast to be possible at 5am, which we greatly appreciate! They helped us with all our questions and all the staff was most welcoming and helpful."

The Ole-Ken Hotel ★★★
"My stay was great. The hotel is located in a very convenient place. It's very quiet and serene making it your perfect getaway despite it being literally in town. The rooms are spacious and in immaculate condition with great views of the sunset if you get to stay in ones facing West. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Simon at the front desk. I also really enjoyed the sauna. 10/10 all round."
