“Cozy, friendly and not complicated - a home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Kikuyu Lodge is a place I would always go to (again) when I am in Nairobi. If you like a simple but clean family run hotel/accomodation with an uncomplicated, very friendly and cozy atmosphere you are just right at the beautiful and small Kikuyu Lodge in the agglomeration of Nairobi. It is for sure the well-established team that makes the Lodge what it is. We thank Trevor, Charity and Hannah plus Jeff so much for their kindness. The prices are very fair for what they offer and we felt completely safe and relaxed on that ground; from the beautiful garden, to the tasty food, to the comfortable bed we enjoyed... It's a bit far from the airport but never mind, the owner (Trevor) can arrange pick up and you are there in ca. 30 min. to 40 min. If you like to go to the City you can find transport (Matatus) just in front of the Lodge. There's no problem with that... Hope you will enjoy your next stay in Nairobi at Kikuyu... (maybe we will meet there). Sonja from Switzerland

“Great place to be based out of while exploring Kenya!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2010

person found this review helpful

This was a perfect place for us to stay. We were based out of Nairobi, but spent most of our time exploring Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Lamu. Trevor made all of the arrangements for our trips and him and his staff made us feel at home while we were staying at the lodge. The food was home-cook and delicious. We had a great experience!

“Friendly and Cozy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

A great, quiet place to stay. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Great homemade meals. It's about a half an hour from the center of Nairobi which can be great or a nuisance. On the positive side, it's quiet and the grounds are beautiful. On the downside it's a $40 cab ride to and from the city. But if you're willing to pay that it's a friendly, cozy, clean place to stay.

“The next time I am in Kenya - that's where I will stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

My very good friend and I were in Nairobi in June 2010 and we both had the pleasure of calling Kikuyu Lodge our home. The owner of the place and his dear wife plus all the members of staff treated my friend and I with the utmost respect from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed from the airport by a driver sent by the owner of kikuyu lodge. At the lodge, we enjoyed the meals, it was always clean, well maintained and better still, even though the hotel was a little far from Nairobi, we were never stranded. The drivers chosen to take us where we needed to go were very helpful. The next time I am in Kenya I know I will be welcomed back to Kikuyu Lodge.
