“Excellent value for money, huge rooms and friendly staff”
Amazing value for money - the rooms were huge!!! We got there very late and at short notice but we were very kindly welcomed and provided with everything we needed. The breakfast looked good but I had a tummy bug so could only observe. I managed a banana and a cup of tea for which I was not charged. Would definitely recommend!

The Ole-Ken is a wonderful slice of heaven situated a walk away from the beehive city. The guards were strict with security. I commend them for this. Kevin at the reception was polite and is a good communicator. The parking lot was secure and the protocol was sensible. We loved the room, but most of all, we cannot fail to bless the chef for the food we received. The chef's special was so good we had it twice! Definitely my hotel destination whenever I am around Nakuru.
