The location near Waterfront in Karen was great, I had wonderful neighbours in the next-door apartment. The building is a quaint style and the apartment is homely. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness and helpfulness of the host Jacque and Ann. The security guards were wonderful too. I felt very well cared for, after an exhausting flight from New Zealand. Great place to land, thank-you 💖

The Social House seems to be the new face of Nairobi, it is like someone asked the questions of what is now expected from Hospitality and they have certainly listened and delivered these expectations, the normal reception counter has been replaced with a front desk that allows for full transparency, this adds a warmth and personal touch to your check ins and outs, the food and drinks outlets Copper, The Other Room and Inca are providing food fit for casual lunch, romantic dates/settings or lively brunch with excellent live bands and happy crowds, great selection of beers, wines, mocktails and cocktails, eclectic well dressed and colourful crowds of different age groups all mixed well with indoor and outdoor seating, cafe area with freshly brewed coffee and fresh baked treats on offer, staff training and recruitment is to be commended as room was kept immaculate and pristine at all times, room service prompt and hot on delivery, wait staff attentive, informative and ready to engage in friendly banter but never overbearing, security are a presence on arrival and even with friendly small talk, familiarity and daily chats the protocols are never skipped and this is comforting, it would be unfair to single out and name staff members as standout personalities as each member took full ownership of their responsibilities, while there are a lot of well established Hotels in Nairobi offering the five star experience of luxury to choose from it is my opinion that this Hotel is the only one who personally delivers it to you as a guest or day tripper, for me it is leading the way in hospitality excellence and surpassing expectations in all aspects. Kenya? Yes you can at The Social House, it is a brave step they have taken and I hope they maintain the high bar they have set and wish them all the best of luck and hopefully others will try to catch up with them, again this is just my opinion as an experienced traveller and you should visit and form your own,

What guests said about Karen:

Safety is the best of Karen.

Safety is the best of Karen. It's quiet, a lot of nature, sidewalks (so good for walking/running). Waterfront mall has everything you need, CJ's restaurant are high quality. Same with Naivas markets. It might be hard to get public transport, but Uber-Bolt are in 1000s. Giraffe center and Waterfront amusement are great places to visit. The Legend restaurant is more than amazing too.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay at this self-contained place hosted by Jacque. It is clean and spacious. It also has all the amenities that you need in the kitchen and bathroom. It is within a safe and quiet part of Karen with malls and restaurants being within walking distance or a short Uber ride. Check in and check out was effortless.

We were met on arrival by Naomy who was very friendly and helpful. The location was close to tourist attractions - Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum. Bomas of Kenya. It was in a gated community so felt safe.
