I had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities I needed. The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly every night. The hotel also had a great restaurant with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. 😊

Brilliant. Educational and just good fun. An experience that'll never be forgotten. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and ready to help and answer all questions they were asked (no matter how inane). Being allowed to get so close to the animals (giraffes) was an incredible treat and feeding them made the experience so much better. Love the giraffes. Love the center. Love the staff. Will definitely be trying to get back to Kenya for another adventure.

The giraffe centre Nairobi, is a fun-filled animal sanctuary that you will never find any where else in the world. You always get a chance to feed the long-necked giraffes with food perets. And you can photograph with the animals being kissing and rubbed by their rough tongues. For anyone visiting Nairobi this a must-visit site that you'll always have a desire to get back to.

So this place is a reserve area for breeding of giraffe. You can feed the giraffes and there are guides brefing you reason for establishing this place . Charges to enter in the place is 1000ksh(10$). Worth visiting if one happens to stay in Nairobi for sometime. Please like it , you like the review and photos

This place is so good

This is a really wonderful hotel in the suburbs of Nairobi. It’s an oasis with beautiful colonial architecture, meticulously landscaped grounds, friendly staff and excellent food. The rooms are quite large and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place, the giraffe were very friendly.

Beautiful, quiet. A break from the rush of the city. Has a spa with amazing packages

The staff is wonderful!! Elizabeth made our dinner a joyous experience with her kind, friendly fellowship. And Caroline and Philip went above and beyond the call of duty with their good-humored kindness. Such wonderful people are a credit to Hemingways Nairobi!! Thank you Elizabeth, Caroline, and Philip!!!! 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

This place is STUNNING. Gorgeous. Exquisite, five-star accommodations. My room was comfortable and beautiful, with a fantastic bathtub and comfy bed. There were fresh flowers in the room, which was a wonderful touch. 

I do wish that I’d had a little bit of an introduction or tutorial, as it took me some time to figure out things like the light switches and where the blow dryer was. It seemed that possibly the person who showed us to our room may not have been the person who normally did so? Check-in took a long time, so I was very ready to get to my room. (Despite our having requested an early check-in, which was agreed upon in advance, after our unexpectedly late arrival we were not able to check in until well after their normal check-in time, and the rooms were still not ready at that time. We waited about an hour, and things seemed a bit unorganized.)

But the accommodations were fantastic, and I would love to go back — I would have enjoyed staying longer! This place is absolutely breathtaking and gets five stars from me.

Hemingways Nairobi offers a sophisticated and luxurious stay that seamlessly blends classic elegance with modern comfort.

It's a haven for those seeking a refined retreat in the heart of Nairobi.

Awesome place to go chill and hang out, learning more about the giraffes and their different species. Very chilled place with a conducive environment. Both kids and adults can visit the place and actually get a chance to feed the giraffes.. There's also the natural trail where you get to see different tree species which are actually medicinal. You also get to see warthogs in their own sites where their stay. The most amazing part is the hospitality from the staff to the guides, well informed and very friendly to the visitors. Exciting place to visit

This is the place to go if you want to see giraffes up close and have a one-on-one interaction with them. And, it is absolutely worth it. One, the place is not far from the CBD. It is really easy to get here, especially when there is no traffic in Nairobi. Also, cabs are easy to get in case you do not have own mode of transport. The staff gives you food to feed the giraffe. It is a great experience. Also, they have a place with pictures and knowledgeable nuggets about the various species and other stuff about giraffes. If you want to learn more about giraffes, you will sure get to learn a few things from here. There is a restaurant inside too in case you want to grab something to eat. For souvenirs, there are show there too, so one can buy a number of cultural artifacts. If you have an hour or 2 to spare while in Nairobi, Giraffe Centre is one of the places to go.

Very beautiful and serene. I like how it’s quiet and calm. The service is amazing and waiters and waitresses are very polite. Rooms are also very spacious, beautiful and luxurious. They have nice views of the gardens and you get worth for your money. Food is also good but i feel the breakfast could have been better and offer more variety for such a hotel. All in all I had an amazing experience and would recommend it.

Our family (grandparents, adult children and grandchildren) spent two nights at the Hemingway before starting our safari. The whole experience was fantastic. The service is superb, the food is delicious and the place is lovely. We took advantage of the massage and the afternoon tea - both very nice. Great place to stay.

One of the best hotels i have stayed in anywhere in the world. The rooms are spacoius with a luxurious colonial feel. The grounds and landscaping is amazing. Try the Salmon, ribs or fish and thank me later. Ooh and every room comes with a butler service.

Location is quite hard to go to. Very luxury. What you paid for is what you get. Food is amazing they have the best.buffet especially the sushi buffet. Sushi are all fresh. I can say they have the best sushi. Although things like shops are quite far

I loved it 👌🏾💯 very beautiful ambience, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the place was full since it was Sunday brunch, all you can eat and bottomless prosecco, I loved the colors used on the exterior, giving it life ✨ would highly recommend 10/10

Best Sunday brunch in town. Great food with lots of options, warm and relaxing ambience with some live cool jazz playing, bottomless prosecco... the list is endless. The staff are also very helpful and most importantly, knowledgeable and decisive❤

Only visited the spa but was very pleased with the service. Had the couples massage (Cleopatra) with my wife. Very clean and professional, the body scrub had a coffee base that smelled great as it was worked into the skin and the massage was very relaxing and left me in a calm state. Would definitely recommend.

We booked a meeting room for the morning - and were surprised that hot beverages were not included in the (high) cost. They should be. We then had lunch which was a passable 5 out of 10 only. Rectangular plates so narrow it’s challenging to cut things up on them, a tiny bowl of over salted salad, rock hard falafel burger with not ‘hummus’ but a creamy thin tahini type dressing. Very salty chips, the usual ‘basket’ type portion. The waiters either come all at once orc it at all rather than one being in attendance throughout lunch. Tables are not cleared quickly and chairs rearranged aesthetically immediately after guests are left. As we departed it was clear the waiters loiter talking near the kitchen rather than carefully watching the tables. A last note on the bar. Move your chairs from touching either the walls or furniture. A corner standard lamp was touching both corner curtains this morning. The overall impression that no one is glancing at the bar or verandah, where chairs were askew …..SO - wake up management/housekeeping, look at your rooms early morning and throughout meals.

Great ambience, awesome customer service. Fantastic spa! Ask for Winnie, she is simply amazing. Your body will thank you. We shall definitely be back to sample the other amenities.

Stayed for 2 nights before departing on a safari. Excellent hotel with lovely rooms, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, great food and lovely grounds. Highly recommend this hotel

Was only here for one overnight but enjoyed every minute. The bed was comfy, the room was lovely and such nice touches such as the TV that hides away so that you can have a fully unplugged feeling if you choose. Delicous food too, I had the falafel burger.

A 5 star destination in the leafy Karen suburb. Ideal for anyone seeking an upmarket destination for holiday or business travel. Food is very good. Their breakfast buffet has a wide variety of options. You'll love it. Location has stunning views. Its very modern, clean and cosy. There's a swimming pool and other amenities. Staff are very helpful and friendly. They offer airport transfer and chauffeur services.

Great hotel with beautiful greenary. Very quiet and relaxing. Good food. Services are up to date with all facilities a hotel should provide like swimming pool e.t.c Halls for conducting meetings. Thank you for your great service.

If you're looking for a place to go for date night where you can have a sombre conversation with your significant other. Don't shy away from taking your girls there for a good catchup though. It's perfect. The view that overlooks the restaurant is breath-taking with the flowing water exuding a relaxing chill homey feel. The gueridon service was one of the perks I enjoyed and the staff were excellent.

Great experience anytime. Friendly and professional staff . Alois and Zeddie were outstanding in making sure we were comfortable. Delicious food and breathtaking grounds . Completely 5 star approved !

Food was great, enjoyed the company, our guy on saxophone - icing in the cake (my birthday serenade), your waiter, though, a little tense. But, a lovely day all the same!

Would 10,000 percent recommend. Ambience is *chef's kiss. Service is *chef's kiss. I enjoyed every moment i was there.

The food was amazing and well plated. The service was also good; kind and transparent. 10/10 recommended 👌🏾

A must visit place when in Nairobi. Get in sync with nature and enjoy feeding giraffes it’s exciting...

Great place to relax and eat. Food and beverages are top notch not forgetting their cheesecake which was on point.

the food is bland and overpriced, There is absolutely no flavor, the menu looks diverse but everything is the same - tasteless. the food does not do justice to the ambience at all, it is highway robbery, you need to replace the entire kitchen staff immediately. the food is very very poor.

Wonderful place, gift shop is amazing and full of high quality goods. The breakfast was to die for and the staff was 5 Star. Boutique hotel with a high class feel. Butlers were over the top!

LOVELY HOTEL IN THE SUBURBS OF NAIROBI! ---We recently stayed at Hemingway’s for 3 nights. ---The spacious rooms are huge- featuring a seating area and private terrace. There is a beautiful bathroom with abundant closets. The décor is furnished attractively. ---The service at the hotel is superb. All the staff have great attitudes. ---We ate dinner at the hotel in their lovely outdoor area every night. The food was delicious. Thank you to our waiters-Gideon, Paul and Victor for your great service you provided. ---My only suggestion would be to improve the breakfast buffet in the morning especially the pastries and breads. ---We had two butlers, Dennis and Kennedy who were very attentive. ---Be sure to make time for the Spa. The massages we had were fabulous and also very reasonably priced. Thank you to Belta and Mary. I also had a manicure by Winnie who was great. ---We also enjoyed going to the upstairs outdoor Bar for drinks and Jacinta waited on us. She is a lovely lady! ---Our room was cleaned to perfection by housekeeping. ---There is a great gift shop in the hotel that had wonderful products. ---Thank you also to Shelia (Assistant Manager) Linet (Hostess), Bernard (waiter at breakfast), and Dennis (Director of Housekeeping) ---We had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Richard Kaimenyi who runs a wonderful hotel. ---For activities in Nairobi we went to Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. It was crowded and we were ready to leave after 10 minutes. After seeing elephants on our Safaris it was a letdown. They do have a great gift shop there with adorable t-shirts. ---The highlight of sightseeing for us was the Karen Blixen Museum that we found so fascinating. The Karen Blixen Museum was once the centre piece of a farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills owned by Danish Author Karen and her Swedish Husband, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke. The museum belongs to a different time period in the history of Kenya, and later gained international acclaim with the release of the movie ‘Out of Africa’, an Oscar winning film based on Karen’s autobiography by the same title. We had a wonderful guide who explained everything in detail before we went in the house. Her house that you will visit is all intact like it was when she lived there. ---We also enjoyed going to the Kazuri Beads Factory that we loved visiting. It is a huge factory where they make beautiful jewelry from clay and provide employment to over 300 single mothers in Kenya. You will see step by step process how beads are made and there is a wonderful shop to buy beads at end of the tour. The ladies all sing and dance that was very entertaining.

Hemingways is the best 5-star hotel that I have visited together with my friends. We really enjoyed ourselves with its services and the views. It is located at a friendly environment

We enjoyed a great afternoon of high tea at Hemingways. Our server, Newton, was friendly and very accommodating. The tea service and sandwiches were great and the grounds were a wonderful backdrop. Highly recommend. No reservations required.

Hemingways offers breathtaking views, a prime location, and delectable food. The ambiance and view are especially enchanting at night. However, for just dinner or brunch, the experience may not be as captivating. Overall, it's a fancy spot with some room for improvement.

I loved the experience at Hemingways right from the gate to the service. Typically, you'll go to a luxury hotel on a bike and have to answer a thousand questions before you are let in. Then, if they let you in, you are told to park at a kacorner next to the gate. That wasn't the case at Hemingways. I was welcomed well, and we were shown where to seat. My friend and I both had a healthy salad. I took mine with mango juice and she had tea. The salad was perfect. Well, except for the whole leaves in the salad 😀 (but I guess that's a thing?). The juice was fresh. The environment was serene.

Outstanding Sunday brunch with great ambiance, as well attentive service from the culinary and service staff. Kudos to Faith (an intern) and Paul for their diligence in serving our table of 9.

This place is really the definition of top-tier restaurant experience. Everything is 5 star from the service to the food. The place is quite literally spotless and shiny in every corner. It has a nice boutique although who is spending 1500 USD on a scarf💀💀. Anyway here's some food pictures for you✨

Located in an exclusive part of the upmarket Karen residential suburb. It's quiet, spacious and the grounds serene.

The ambiance of the place is incredibly serene and peaceful, creating a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere. The attentive and courteous staff provide exceptional service, ensuring a delightful dining experience. The rooms are not only spacious but also exquisitely designed, offering a touch of luxury. Moreover, the rooms provide stunning views of the gardens, allowing guests to fully appreciate the surrounding beauty. The value for money is excellent, as the experience truly exceeds expectations. The food is also of exceptional quality, providing a truly enjoyable culinary journey. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to others.

Went for lunch and it was the best brunch experience I've had in Nairobi so far. The location is perfect for a getaway from the city. The staff are amazing and friendly from the manager coming to say hello to every other staff we engaged with. It's family friendly. The food was a 10/10 . Our server Charles was funny and just the best. Can't forget Cate too they really made our day awesome

It seems, the Sunday Brunch gets pricier as the hours get reduced. One bottle of prosecco has to traverse through out the entire brunch grounds before they open another, meaning service is not that great. One would think the service would be top notch, seeing as the price has increased, and the times reduced. The servers are professional but kept saying that it was policy that that one bottle of prosecco is finished before opening another, meaning that they kept moving from one far corner to another with one bottle filling up glasses. I found it ridiculous, but oh well. Food was delicious and varied. The sushi bar was exceptional. Great for those not looking to have a drink.

What a wonderful hotel. The staff were all just so attentive and helpful. Grounds and facilities extensive. This was truly a fabulous oasis in Nairobi. Would highly recommend.

Extremely poor service. Was there on a Sunday afternoon with a friend at around 1730hrs when traffic was slow. I stayed there for a full hour without being served hot chocolate, while I watched the same service personnel serve clientele of a different race and potentially regulars much faster. It seems there's open discrimination and preferential service. I would not recommend.

Top location, beautiful views, good food and drinks, but the service is a big mess: - very slow - arrogant and unfriendly - complain to management doesn't help as they are not better - no compensation for mistakes, accidents or complain. Such an amazing location deserves better stuff and management especially as the prices are in the highest level, already ridiculous high, limitless

We took an Uber for a 30 minute drive outside Nairobi for a special dinner for my wife’s birthday and our last night in Kenya. We were not disappointed; probably the best meal we had in 5 weeks in Kenya and the Seychelles. My first steak since I left London was faultless and delicious. To be hyper critical my wife’s risotto was delicious but slightly overcooked. But the real highlight were our 2 waiters, Newton & Faith. They were cheerful, enthusiastic, attentive, charming, amusing, very efficient and obviously enjoyed working together as a team. Totally professional and a real credit to Hemingways.

A nice place 👌 Get there, feed the giraffe of your choice 😎 !

Nice

Its not everyday that you get to see a giraffe or get close to one leave alone interacting with them. Being in this wonderful and cool environment helps one appreciate how wildlife can be very close and friendly to us. Its a great pleasure to feed the giraffes and have a glance of the giraffes' beauty. Awesome place to spend a day or weekend.

It's fun to feed the giraffes

Being close to a Giraffe isn't something we experience daily but visiting the Giraffe center gave me the satisfaction of being IP close with the tallest animal. You get to feed them too.. Amazing, right??

Liked it, a lot... My client was happy, I was happy, everyone was happy...

Giraffe sanctuary

Feeding the giraffes was an terrific experience! Wow

Humble parking and security, restaurant, clock room.

I still can’t shake the feeling of the giraffes tongue. It was scary and fascinating that I got so close to a wild animal. It was so exhilarating

This is a great sanctuary for giraffes. I got to feed and even Kiss a Rotchild Giraffe. Soo wonderful.

Amazing experience 😍😍😍

(Translated by Google) The direct interaction with the animals is just wonderful. Very nice experience (Original) L'interaction direct avec les animaux est juste merveilleux. Très belle expérience

Amazing creatures

Fake. real one is at duma road

This place offers the best experience to get close to the giraffes, which is just a formidable experience on it's own. Also the services are real great and the guides so informative and friendly. I would recommend visiting this place with family and friends and help conservation of giraffes.

First bummer was that they don’t accept cash and twas either mpesa or card. So my guide had to come pay for me since I only had cash. Just a handful of giraffes here. You buy some food and feed them or walk around the education display to learn more about giraffes in Kenya especially. Aside from that, there isn’t much else to do aside looking through the souvenir shop to get some souvenirs. The cashiers at the souvenir shop weren’t the friendliest people there are. The most time you could spend here may be 20 minutes max.

Had such an amaizing Time i would go there every week if possible.

Conducive. A good place to unwind

This place is amazing you like have a real life observation of the giraffes there like where you feed them.

An amazing experience to have! You will come out of the place full of smiles

Almost in exteention,but Lucky to have Giraffe center.

Lush gardens. Beautiful hotel. Great restaurant. The best cocktails. Overall good experience

Wonderful atmosphere, I greatly recommend the Hemingway's burger...

Very well maintained. Top clean everywhere. Very impressive.

Amazing service as usual. The only restaurant that guarantees five star service. I highly recommend it.

Very relaxing place with friendly staff

I didn't like the kind of attitude shown by some of the staff. Reception at the gate is awesome! Inside the Hotel, the customer experience was the worst. Unless you do preferential treatment to customers. That's not professional.

Fabulous food! Well done to the head chef! Amazing ambience and friendly staff!

Beautiful hotel. Amazing staff. Wonderful food and wine.

A wonderful place to visit.

Good place for kids as all get a chance to feed the giraffes and have a close interaction with them. Great place

Great ambience, best crab 🦀 meat I ever had. The brunch on Sundays is very lively and the presecco keeps coming. The desert was pretty awesome. Definitely will be going back. Enjoyed taking pictures at the garden it's beautiful.

Awesome place to visit

Good

It's fun feeding the giraffes

Lovely experience

Great experience to see Giraffes and feed them. The center is taking really good care of the giraffes and let you get very close to the animals. The gardens are very nice. The whole experience takes about 30 minutes. We stayed with our driver as they are not many taxis waiting outside the center.

Funny Giraffes

Watching girrafs

(Translated by Google) wonderful place (Original) posto magnifico

Awesome to be close with Nature. Must experience, great ambiance great service
