We stopped here for lunch and to check in to Treetops, and I have to say it was realy lovely. Food was nice, staff were a bit sullen, but the grounds were absolutely beautiful. We also returned here to meet our guide, as they use their own to take you to Treetops, which we found a little odd.

Stayed here for one night at the start of a safari week. Rooms were clean and spacious with good sized balcony. Delicious buffet style lunch served outside but dinner was served inside a la carte - I ordered lamb cutlets - they were all bone and fat and the little meat there was tough and chewy - had to spit...

As with many others we spent just one night here at the start of a long safari. There were good and bad things about the place but overall the peace & quiet offered was preferable to a night in Nairobi ! The building and furnishings are colonial style, not what everyone likes but fairly unique, the room was big but... More

I have had a very disappointing experience with the hotel, the hotel is beatiful the ambience is grand and relaxed, thats as far ad it goes! I could stand the arogance but not the blatant disrespect to the revellers especially to me in particular, from the staff to aloofness of the managing chef. my complements to the guards, they were...

We travelled with Somak on safari for 1 week. Our first stop was Outspan Hotel for 2 nights. We were a party of 2 couples and were put in opposite ends of the hotel. However when speaking to the management they changed the rooms so that they were next to each other-no fuss just did it. WEnt out on a... More

To be fair to this hotel we did only stay 1 day at the start of our tour, but in all honesty I was rather glad it was only 1 day. The hotel is colonial style and has very lush and beautiful surroundings and gardens, there is also an afternoon guided walk to the waterfall which is free - bar... More

Outspan could do with a refurb but on the whole a very enjoyable stay! We had no idea it would be sooooooo chilly in this area so maybe you could open a shop selling fleece's. We had an open fire in our room which was perfect.

A classic colonial hotel with bags of history. Great rooms, super food, lovely grounds, atmosphere by the bucketful but overrun in the early morning, late morning and early afternoon by bus loads of transit tourists going to Treetops. If you don't mind this it's great. If you want to have a totally away from it all experience ask the staff... More
