I really enjoy my stays at Emara Ole sereni. Everyone there is so friendly and the rooms are well kept, and I really enjoyed having a balcony this time. I can mention a few people who helped make my stay great: Peter Erick at security, Samuel, Lucy, Alex from the front desk, Brian, and Eunice from the shops, and there are so many more people at the hotel I cannot name. This is the only hotel that I stay at when I am in Nairobi.

Fantastic modern and spacious room with a splendid view of the national park. Appreciated the balcony although it was a little cold at times still in March. Staff were fantastic across the hotel, always eager to help and check if we needed anything. Highly recommend. Breakfast offerings and view (again of the park) was great, as well as the rooftop bar on the 10th floor. The swimming pool is super aesthetic but not huge - more for lounging and paddling. The mojitos are strong!
I stayed in the Ole-Sereni (the original, sister hotel) prior to my stay at Emara - whilst it felt more understated and more African, with closer access to the spa and gym, I would choose the Emara for its views, more modern rooms and slightly better breakfast offerings.

The AC did not work. The room door lock malfunctioned. The mattress was inferior in terms of comfort; springy box mattress. The breakfast was limited to mostly canned items and processed food items, with a limited variety of fresh fruits and meat.
