Facilities consistently impress, with a beautiful pool—including an indoor lap option—a well-equipped gym, serene gardens, and free laundry. Breakfast and overall food quality are praised, though several guests find the menu limited for longer stays and vegetarian/vegan choices, and a few report spotty Wi‑Fi. Expect a calm, upscale boutique stay with warm service.

An absolutely amazing hotel in Nairobi. Very good service. You are made to feel welcome and special by the staff. There is an amazing garden with a pool and also an indoor lap pool for swimming in. We are there twice and the food was very high quality. Breakfast chef even cooked us an early breakfast on the day of departure.

This hotel is amazing! Everything from the big, fluffy white towels and crisp, clean white sheets to the wide array of tasty food they served for breakfast, everything was wonderful! The property was beautiful! I forgot I was in the middle of a busy city and felt like I was in a small oasis surrounded by the lush palm trees and vibrant landscaping. Every single staff member we came across was exceedingly kind and went out of their way to help however they could. They all welcomed us each day with a wide smile and a kind word. The amenities such as the pool and the fitness center were well kept and had everything we needed. We were able to utilize the small kitchen and the nearby grocery store to supplement some of our meals during our stay. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed! Choose Palacina and feel the sweet Kenyan hospitality!

This is a glorious place to stay when in Nairobi. It’s just a tranquil oasis with incredibly friendly staff, amazing food (we’re vegetarians), and astonishingly spacious comfortable rooms. We had a huge balcony which overlooked beautiful trees and were woken up by bird song every morning. The facilities are great - swimming pool, health club, etc. But it is the staff that make us feel so welcome and at home… Samson at reception was especially thoughtful and engaging and I had great conversations with driver David.

It’s listed as a 5 star resort. However, there was used cups with old tea bags still inside placed in the cupboard, the tv barely worked and when it did only had like 10 channels, no room service past 9pm so nothing to have after a long journey and arriving hungry, I had to request simple things like a blow dryer. The shampoo and soaps had been already half used. There were no robes or anything that made it feel like a “5 star” resort. It’s a decent place but not somewhere I would stay again if looking for a luxury getaway.

The staff was amazing! Not one negative encounter! Front desk staff were welcoming and so was kitchen staff, particularly Ms. Lydia and Chef! The omelettes in the morning were tasty. Would like to see more of a variety menu for longer stays or all inclusive option, but otherwise, this hotel was nothing short of a great experience! Hotel was cozy, beds very comfortable. Rooms immaculate and super clean! We truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you Palicina staff as well as their sister company African Tours Safari for an amazing birthday trip, tour and Safari organization thoughtfulness throughout our trip!

Beautiful tranquil hotel with a lovely garden and wonderful service. The staff are exceptional. And my upgraded room was spacious, super comfortable and clean — loved it. For long stays the menu can get limited, would encourage them to add more vegetarian/vegan items. And the WiFi while fast was spotty — often cutting out.

The hotel is beautiful and our room was lovely. We had a great king size canopy bed with nice linens and mosquito netting. We also had a living room and balcony overlooking a lush garden. The restaurant is nicely appointed but lacks a bit for lunch and dinner, however the breakfast is quite good with so many fresh fruits and made to order omelets. Very nice and safe location.

Palacina is a delightful luxury boutique hotel! Enter the security gate and you are in a peaceful garden with comfortable seating and dining on the porch. Our suite was enormous and luxurious with a comfortable bed and a balcony with additional seating overlooking the gardens. The food and staff are all wonderful and when I return to Nairobi I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend Palacina.

This hotel is amazing! Everything from the big, fluffy white towels and crisp, clean white sheets to the wide array of tasty food they served for breakfast, everything was wonderful! The property was beautiful! I forgot I was in the middle of a busy city and felt like I was in a small oasis surrounded by the lush palm trees and vibrant landscaping. Every single staff member we came across was exceedingly kind and went out of their way to help however they could. They all welcomed us each day with a wide smile and a kind word. The amenities such as the pool and the fitness center were well kept and had everything we needed. We were able to utilize the small kitchen and the nearby grocery store to supplement some of our meals during our stay. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed! Choose Palacina and feel the sweet Kenyan hospitality!

Thank you team, I will be gladly coming back. Much Love. Denise & Olivia

The hotel is beautiful and our room was lovely. We had a great king size canopy bed with nice linens and mosquito netting. We also had a living room and balcony overlooking a lush garden. The restaurant is nicely appointed but lacks a bit for lunch and dinner, however the breakfast is quite good with so many fresh fruits and made to order omelets. Very nice and safe location.

An absolutely amazing hotel in Nairobi. Very good service. You are made to feel welcome and special by the staff. There is an amazing garden with a pool and also an indoor lap pool for swimming in. We are there twice and the food was very high quality. Breakfast chef even cooked us an early breakfast on the day of departure.

Beautiful place. Great rooms. Nice gardens. Wonderful staff and service. The WiFi however was choppy and frequently went out, totally unacceptable for 2023. And the restaurant menu needs more vegan and vegetarians options.

Beautiful tranquil hotel with a lovely garden and wonderful service. The staff are exceptional. And my upgraded room was spacious, super comfortable and clean — loved it. For long stays the menu can get limited, would encourage them to add more vegetarian/vegan items. And the WiFi while fast was spotty — often cutting out.
