Daniela
Wonderful quiet location . Beautiful house and rooms very spacious . Very friendly staff . Very good breakfast . Highly recommend
Albert G
Very nice property. Well kept grounds, security guard. Gladys, Natasha & Jeff went above & beyond to help with anything we needed. Very spacious room with plenty of closet/storage space. Have stayed several times before & always had a pleasant experience.
Celia
We had a fantastic stay here and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. A special mention to Natasha and Gladys for looking after us so well. We are cyclists from Australia travelling the world on our bicycles . We appreciated the calmness and special attention we received over the 3 nights we stayed. The food was exceptional and a big thank you to the chef that did a great job dealing with my intolerances. Absolutely highly recommend staying here!
Tess
Staff ( Gladys, Natasha and Jeff) could not have been more welcoming or helpful . Peaceful setting and comfortable stay .
Susan
Had a great stay! Great staff and good location
April
Easy and helpful airport pickup and welcoming late night check-in.

Well maintained property with gardens and pool. Room was spacious with all you'd need. Lovely lounge but dining room is dark.
David N
Relaxing two night stay - excellent service
Two night stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary and start a safari visit to Kenya. Really friendly and welcoming staff, relaxing environment, pleasant room, very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.
Albert
Clean, nice location in Karen. Room was large, bathroom/shower was wonderful. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Jean
The staff at Margarita House are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was quiet and clean. It would be helpful if they had towel racks in the bathroom, and we did have ask for an additional towel to use as a bathmat (but minor issues). We ate in their restaurant for breakfast (included) and dinner (extra). The food was good. Realize that likely most neighborhoods in Nairobi are not safe just to walk around. I felt very safe in the hotel, but it is not in a walkable area. However, it is close to several places of note in the Karen area of Nairobi.
Orla
Great stay!
Beautiful property. Extremely safe.
Gladys, the receptionist, was amazing- she made our trip as comfortable as possible. Breakfast was freshly cooked and quite good.
Close to Giraffe Centre. Uber easy accessible. Would stay again.

Lovely hotel
A short overnight stay but the staff was incredibly welcoming for my late arrival. Breakfast was delicious. Hope to stay again.
Marilyn
Gladys at the front desk was amazing. Warm & welcoming & anticipated your needs before you even knew you had any! Rachel took great care of us in the dining room. Was sad to leave and would happily stay there again.
Alain
Food was also great!
Verified traveler
there was no hot water in the morning if someone else is showering in the building
Verified traveler
The staff were very friendly and courteous- went over and above in making us feel welcome. Quiet little oasis of a hotel. Great food prepared for us. All special requests were accommodated. Great location for sightseeing in the area.
Richard
Comfortable but dated with excellent service.
Service was excellent and the room spacious and comfortable, but updating of the bathroom is overdue. The size of the bathroom would accommodate a stunning renovation. In the meantime even adding some counter top space would be an improvement. Location was excellent for visiting the Karen Blixen museum but not convenient for the city center. The drive from the airport was quick and easy.
Rachel
Great place to crash in Nairobi
Had a very lovely stay here, thanks especially to Susan at the front desk, who was extremely warm and helpful. The food in the restaurant was also quite good.
Kumiko
人懐っこい子猫が4匹います。ロビーやラウンジ、庭などをいつも散歩しています。可愛らしいのですが、猫アレルギーの方は注意した方が良いと思います。

Underbar vistelse!
Vi hade Margarita House som bas under 2 veckor i Kenya när vi gjorde safaris och utflykter till bl.a. Masai Mara, Crescent Island, Karura forest och Sheldrick Trust.
På det sättet slapp vi släpa på alla resväskor och kunde resa lätt på utflykter och safaris och det var det värt alla gånger.
Personalen är helt fantastisk, så hjälpsamma och vänliga.
Mysigt poolområde och en välskött trädgård.
Bra frukost och bra mat i restaurangen.
Stort och rymligt rum som har varit rent och fräscht under hela vistelsen.
Området är lugnt och fint en bit utanför centrum.
Har varit perfekt för vår familj!
