Top Karen Blixen Museum Hotel Reviews

Hemingways Eden Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Such an authentic experience. The rooms and grounds are amazing and you feel right at home. You are completely shut off from the city in your own little sanctuary. The pool area is gorgeous and we loved watching the monkeys in the trees as we sunbathed. The staff are brilliant and so welcoming. Drinks at the restaurant were fab. We were upgraded to the main suite in the house as nobody else had booked which made our stay extra special. We can’t thank the team enough for such an unforgettable stay! Would definitely recommend staying here"

"Absolutely lovely staff who make you feel welcome and relaxed. Clean, huge, comfortable rooms with love put into their design. Beautiful gardens and pool to wind down in. Breakfast to order included. Tasty daily lunch/dinner menu always with variety of choice, including a vegetarian dish. Surrounded by quiet streets, walkable in daylight to nearby malls, supermarkets, restaurants, etc."

"Edaala Comfort is a hidden gem with a warm, authentic Kenya atmosphere. The area called Karen felt totally safe, with plenty of local shops nearby, and it’s perfectly located — just minutes from Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Centre. The property is secure, the breakfast is great, and getting around is easy since Uber is cheap and readily available. Overall, a fantastic place to stay."
