These guys were great. we were a little upset by a failed booking at a different place but they more than made up for it. The food and rooms were good. The garden was lovely for yoga and relaxing. If the coffee bar opened a little earlier it would be full marks
RAVEN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A lovely little hotel.

We had a lovely stay here, a perfect place to land on arrival in Kenya. The staff were really kind and helpful and the food from the restaurant was delicious. Lovely views of the garden from our room.

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, good spaces to relax.. however room toilet small and lacks good ventilation, noisy at night due to proximity to a busy highway and limited dining experience.

Nice hotel and I like staying here when I'm in Nairobi. The staff treat me very well and the food is good. I like spending evenings in the garden and it is peaceful. The deluxe rooms are big. Thanks guys.
Martha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel with good food. Drinks prices were completely reasonable and it is near CBD but not inside CBD. Had a nice dinner in the garden with the garden lights and music and breakfast was a lot for the price. It was good.
Mark, 1-night trip

I liked everything, especially the staff. Such wonderful people. The Red Buffalo is a hidden gem. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi.

Pathetic. Terrible. Poor meals and expensive. It is a brothel not a hotel. Go there at your own risk

8/10 Very good

Vanaf het vliegveld op een makkelijk bereikbare plek voor een taxi. De omgeving is niet erg inspirerend. Lokaal vervoer op een kwartier lopen. Redelijk goed ontbijt.
