  • 5/5 Naftaly K. 4 months ago on Google • 268 reviews
    Blue Post Hotel is a tourist hotel that was started in 1908 located at the periphery of Murang’a County, on its border with Kiambu County.Located just off the Busy Thika Super Highway about 5 Km away from Thika town. The property is spread over a 32 acre piece of land and sits between two rivers and two natural waterfalls i.e. Thika and Chania falls. You can do a nature walk at this property and access the two beautiful falls as you mingle with nature and later visit the animal park and lean about crocodiles,pythons, tortoise, porcupine,Ostrich and many more. There is also a museum with lots of information about the big 5 with artifacts all over.

    I can only recommend the Blue Post Hotels located directly at Chance Falls. From the hotel garden you can easily observe the waterfall, while you can eat and relax there very well. The hotel also has a small playground and zoo with a small selection of wild animals.

    It is located at an awesome place in between Thika and Chania falls. The place also has a small zoo where you can checkout a variety of animals and birds. It has a mini museum too where you can learn a thing or two and see a few snakes Their samosas are also something to try.

    In the town of Thika.The place has changed very little in 30 years. Then it was a beautiful place to visit the two water falls. One on each side of the hotel. A nice place to eat and the swimming pool. Today the falls are still the reason to be impressed. The resturant is still very good. Now there is a play ground and also an animal park. The rooms have been updated. Not a tourist stop any more but you can meet alot of local people here.

    The Blue post hotel is a great venue for family outings and adventurous dates. The service was good. The guide,Paul Nduta was very helpful. Activities and Charges: Hiking trail- Ksh.400 per person (two water falls). Animal park-Ksh 100 per person. Horse riding Crocodile feeding The animals there look sad and seem to suffer from malnutrition. The horse looks like it needs a holiday and lots of feed.

    Poor service. No care. Just doing the job. Great potential place but management need to spruce the place and really make it back to the old days where it was a destination location and not a cheap stop

    Excellent. There is no better way to describe the experience here. The food is just out of this world, and watching the three falls is something unfathomable. I loved it, and you should visit too

    This place is so nice and breath taking. The view of the water falls, they are actually two separate water fall point, the sound of the water and the smell or the feel of the water droplets can never be experience through any camera or video. One has to be here in person. The place also serves food, has ample parking, accommodation, bar with various alcohol brands, curio shops, a small pond with a boat for hand paddling, barber shop and saloon, nice garden are good for family time and budding couples. Also a good place for children to experience outdoor moments after school. Also informed they have animals as well. You do not have to pay to enter the but there are fees to get to the water fall, to see animals and to do a park trek. Try this place! 😊

    Once it was a The Place to be in . Over the years I see it’s condition needs attention. Over all good location you can call it a business transit place for inter city passengers who wants to have quick bite and rest for sometime and move on . Needs repairs

    Blue post used to be the place to go. Over the years the service had gone from bad to terrible. The waiters are not friendly at all with bad attitudes. Furniture is in such poor state that it's unhygienic to eat or even touch them. My first experience with the waiter was her asking.. "what do u want?" No welcome to Blue post hotel, my name is ... May I take your order.? Nothing that civil.. The waiters don't bother to check on you for anything. The owner needs to make changes or else they will lose customers. Apart from the great scenary of rolling water falls, and green shrubbery of trees, the place has nothing to offer. Please look elsewhere if service and quality of food is a priority.

    I enjoyed the scenery, plenty of open space and the waterfalls... One thing that put me off is that they don't have any descent vegan recipes. The whole menu is just a variation of meat! Also they need to add staff. I took us 1hr just to get an insanely expensive plate of potatoes 🤦‍♂️. That customer experience sucked.

    Great outdoor experience. Has waterfall which was quite a scenoc view. Animal park was amazing with good guides. There a nice museum with important artefacts both historical and archeological. There is however no good picnic sport. Food from outside not allowed. For muslims it is important to note that the place doesnt serve Halal food.

    Stopped by on Christmas day 2023. Took us 45 mins to get someone to attend to us. Not a good experience. The location between the two falls is still one of the best in the area. The hotel itself is now a little bit dated but I guess that is the allure.

    Overlooks Chania Falls both are close to Thika. Food was delicious, service was good despite being one man down, only one waiter. Chania Falls. the monkeys, the hawk, the cats, tje foliage of the greenery create a great show.

    Welcome to this amazing park and hotel located in Thika Kenya along the Chania river. It is an embodiment of serenity and peace, a great appreciation of nature and the most beautiful get away from the busy life of Nairobi, not to forget -pocket friendly. I especially enjoyed the environment. For costs, the animal park is 150 for residents. I did not go for a hike but I was told it is 400 and you get a guide. If you only want to enjoy the view of the waterfall you can just buy an outdoor meal. The park however doesn't have much animals so I don't think it is worth 150, maybe 100 unless they are working on filling up again. There are grounds for weddings and parties too. Watch a full tour on my YouTube @ Cee Kalio 🙏

    The quality of the product/service was disappointingly poor, with numerous glitches and a lack of promised features. Customer service was unresponsive and unhelpful, aggravating the overall negative experience. I would strongly advise against choosing this option. 🤮🤢 Expensive but very bad quality 😞

  • 5/5 Evan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to be, food was good, the kids enjoyed their animal park.

  • 3/5 Abdul M. 7 months ago on Google
    Service is rather slow. The waiters look harassed and overworked. The prices for food are too high compared to the quality. Location is excellent. Facilities are good, clean and well maintained.

  • 3/5 Fenvick S. 1 year ago on Google
    The waterfalls are a nice feature but the animal park needs some upgrades.

  • 3/5 Gregory O. 1 year ago on Google
    A good first impression for this historic hotel. Could improve on modernising the facility.

  • 1/5 Picha P. 1 year ago on Google
    A definite NO for me! I sat in the garden for a cool 30 minutes and nobody as much as offers to take my drinks order! I had to go elsewhere for Madaraka day lunch. ABSOLUTE DISASTER!

  • 2/5 Peter K. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is kind and caring. Their services are good.The environment is clean and the air is very flesh. They have good sites for picnic.. Meals are tasty. Good for all ( alone, family or group)

    Especially when the lands are not as dry... the falls makes the place exquisite and very relaxing. They have awesome samosas and very cold beers... lol like the ones you watch on adverts.... just make sure you have enough 🤑🤑

  • 3/5 Isaac N. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was OK especially for the evening we visited. The food took over 1.5 hours to get ready so I would not recommend having a meal there. Also, the food is not really outstanding or memorable. Drinks got to the table much faster though. That hibiscus juice slaps! For weekdays, I'd not recommend going here to eat. The view of Chania falls is majestic and it could have pretty good photos on afternoons. That aspect was one to love.

  • 4/5 Matt G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very scenes a lovely views of the waterfalls on the adjacent river. The garden sitting was very lovely. However the service was really slow and everything seemed to take ages.

  • 4/5 Everlyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the serenity within the place, not forgetting the history of our people and the animals safely maintained😍. Would give it a five if they revive the abandoned chill spots

  • 5/5 Hussein Yussuf (. 1 year ago on Google
    Has quite a green and serene environment. Priding of the Chania Falls on the Chania River and Thika Falls on the Thika River. Enjoy horse rides, etc

    Blue post hotel is located in Thika town which is roughly about 30 kilometres from Nairobi the capital city. The hotel has a large well secured compound around it and overlooks a very attractive for the eyes waterfall. A lovely garden with indigenous mature trees and nicely planned cottages and hotel rooms. A conference and business center as well. The menus are exciting with a variety of different good dishes and beverages. A place worth visiting for a weekend outing from Nairobi and other close counties.

    The food was great, and the staff were very friendly. But they need more staff, service was slow. Otherwise the ambience was great

    Very peaceful. The waterfalls were relaxing. Due to COVID-19, to many attractions were closed but we were entertained by the monkeys.

    Cool place next to Chania falls, Thika

  • 4/5 Double Lee E. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome ambience, you get breathtaking view of Chania water fall. Food will take you 30-50 minutes (too bad if you are hungry because you’ll be disappointed). Generally great place to relax with family & friends. Photos courtesy of iPhone 12 Pro Max, available in our shop.

  • 5/5 unno t. 2 years ago on Google
    It's nice location to see some falls and animals. You can see a Ostrich, snakes, monkeys, tortoises

  • 1/5 edwin m. 2 years ago on Google
    Food not good. Chef not honest..mixed roast chicken with fried even though I ordered for wet Fried chicken and covered everything in a pool of onions

  • 1/5 Jessie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Awful service experience with David . He brought me a different plate than what I ordered, without asking before. I do not eat onions so I asked him to change that. He brought me a new one without my side dish as requested. He came with the side dish and there were onions in it … I thought this was a joke. I asked him why and he laughed. It is a place I like but this service was very very awful. I highly do not recommend to be served by him…

    The place has a beautiful falls and you can decide to sit overlooking the falls as you enjoy your sumptuous meals.

  • 3/5 Lawi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't rate the service and rooms cause i didn't have time to enter otherwise i believe they are perfect until my visit, but the location and opinions from peoples state it is better, 😊😊😅😅

  • 5/5 PHILIP N. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is Fantastic here.... Good resting grounds, quite a number of wild animals to watch. Waterfalls, delicious meals, classy bar and restaurants, Sparkling rooms etc. Its a nice place to visit. You will enjoy their sweet customer service.

  • 3/5 Otuke N. 1 year ago on Google
    The 3 star is for the environment and the good food. The chef did a good job on the grilled fish with some vegetables and small salad and mashed potato on the side. I enjoyed my meal while watching the waterfall. Though you need to do something on speed of service. My dawa took 15 min to be served, my meal 45mins. My bill took 20minutes after I requested it. I wasn't in a hurry though, but having worked in the hotel industry for the last 6 years, there is room for improvement on your service.

  • 3/5 Simon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view of the Chania falls, with a cool breeze. A great place to spend the afternoon. The service can be better, and the food(not had) needs to definitely improve.

  • 3/5 Ngugi G. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this hotel since my High school days. There is peace and beauty experienced, looking at Chania falls and the natural vegetation near the river. This is a destination worth visiting.

  • 1/5 Hope K. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst service ave received from a hotel. Beginning from the waiter to the chef in the Kitchen. Nothing we ordered was apparently prepared but was still sites on the menu, the guards were rude when I asked for the manger saying “sijui mbona unaulizia manager” The chef said the hotel does not serve simple salad or even Kachumbari with food. We asked for milk and they brought a tot of milk The place is getting worse by the minute

  • 3/5 Mr Ndururi M. 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel neads to improve on handicapped accessibility especially from the dinner to the bathrooms and bar sections. The place requires renovation and the gift merchandise needs to be near the reception, most visitors do not even realise that their is in fact an animal park as well in the back of the hotel.

    A cool place in the outskirts of Thika. To enjoy a lovely evening even with your kids.
