Top Karen Blixen Museum Hotel Reviews

Hemingways Eden Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Bit dated feeling and clearly not as nice as its sister property in Nairobi. The staff were nice. Food was fine. A nice enough stay but not particularly memorable."

Hemingways Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property. Pretty place and has a kind of old English colonial vibe to it. Very cool. Very close to giraffe manor and the conservatory. I’d go there again if in Nairobi. The staff were very helpful and nice."

Margarita House

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Karen Plains Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice"

Edaala Comfort

10/10 Excellent

"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."
