What our guests say

“We had an amazing stay at Karen Plains Hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi. The location is perfect — very close to great malls, food options and all kinds of shopping. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are super spacious and comfortable. What truly makes this hotel unique is the staff — always smiling, always ready to help, and they genuinely make you feel welcome. The breakfast was excellent and the chef was very attentive. When we come back to Nairobi, we will definitely stay here again.”

“I had a wonderful stay at Karen Plains Hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always available to assist with any needs. The hotel offers excellent value for money, with comfortable accommodations and great amenities. Its location is ideal — just a short distance from The Waterfront, where you can find a variety of restaurants and supermarkets. The area is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay, and the security provided gave me complete peace of mind.”

The hospitality really stood out — staff were warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. Everything felt well managed and communication was clear from check-in through to departure.”

Where we are

We are in Karen Plains Arcade on Karen Plains Road, in the leafy Karen suburb of Nairobi, a few steps from The Waterfront Karen and its restaurants and supermarket. Karen sits on the western edge of the city, so you are close to the Karen attractions and Wilson Airport, and a longer drive from the CBD. Ride-hailing is easy to find in the area.

Close to:

The Waterfront Karen Giraffe Centre Karen Blixen Museum Wilson Airport Nairobi National Park Karen Shopping Centre Ngong Road
