The streets of Nairobi are pretty scary. The speed our cabbie travelled at from the airport to Palacina - doors locked and looking anxiously at the other drivers, didn't exactly set our fraught travel nerves at ease. But the Palacina did. What a little oasis! Our room was exceptional. Very big, beautifully decorated, a gorgeous bathroom and giant walk in... More

A delightful boutique hotel, clean, comfortable and friendly/helpful staff. Small relaxing pool area and a great partially open restaurant with local and international specialities. Breakfast was yummy with both hot and cold items. The perfect home away from home and start to my Africa trip. More

We stayed at Palacina Residence & Suites on the last night of our trip to Kenya whilst waiting for a flight back to the UK. The complex has a very corporate feel – with many business people on extended stays whilst in the city on business. The overall standard of décor is good. The staff were not as friendly or... More

Me and my partner stayed here as part of our honeymoon trip through Kenya and Tanzania! This hotel was by far the most impressive throughout out travel. The service was fantastic, the room equally so. Our only regret was that we only stayed one single night... We would have loved to stay at least a couple of days to enjoy... More

Arrived in Nairobi and stayed 3 nights here. This was a perfect way to get over the flight and start our holiday. A superb, small, friendly, comfortable hotel, but beautifully furnished. Sufficiently far out of Nairobi to be quite, but still an easy drive to the city centre. The views are not the best (bit of construction going on), but... More

We only stayed overnight between flights. The room was well appointed and clean, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was very good. The grounds are a large garden, very well kept and lovely. Would stay again. More

We ended a fantastic two weeks in Kenya at the Palacina Residence and Suites, Nairobi. We were here for 12 hours, flying out early the next day. What a greeting on a Thursday night: free wine and canapes in the hotel reception with a piano bar. We were upgraded to the Presidential Suite, which was huge. In fact it was... More

After 4 months travelling through Africa and climbing Kili, we splashed out on a bit of luxury in Nairobi. I cannot fault the Palacina at all. Rooms are beautifully decorated, beds massive and comfortable, food gorgeous, staff helpful> Best breakfast in Africa for sure We just loved all the little details in the hotel. Clearly designed by someone who has... More

Rooms are very comfortable and the whole hotel is very clean. To get transportation we waited over an hour because they want you to use their own overpriced transportation. Terrible room service and quite overpriced. Our food order was not complete, and we are still waiting on mayo and ketchup!! Staff is indifferent. More
