“Tasteful design, kind staff, overall brilliant”
The staff was the kindest, most welcoming and excited to teach you their culture if you wanted to know more Swahili. They were always smiling and looked like they genuinely enjoyed their days which was a joy to see.

A super lovely hotel with beautiful rooms and a great atmosphere. Everything is very stylish and well taken care of. The food is absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, especially Angel, who made our stay even more special. Everyone was always friendly and ready to help — and Bela, the dog, is also an excellent host who made us feel even more at home. I would definitely come back!”

“Exceptional Stay at the Garten Living. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend The Gar”
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Irene and Afithi whose hospitality set the tone for the rest of our visit. The rooms were spotless and well maintained throughout our stay. We especially looked forward to the delicious breakfast every morning-a great variety and always fresh. We also had the pleasure of interacting with almost every member of the team and we can confidently say that their customer service is top notch. Special thanks to Andy, who introduced us to the menu and served up excellent coffee(a truly talented barista! Kudos to Siya, Angel, Noel 1 and Noel 2, Munir for always being just a call away and making us feel right at home. One tip: don’t miss their burgers-absolutely delicious!!!

My stay at The Garten Living in Paje was honestly amazing. From the very first moment, the check-in process was smooth and effortless, which set the tone for the whole stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help you really feel their genuine hospitality. Breakfast was very good and well prepared, a perfect way to start the day. The surroundings are calm, peaceful, and chilled, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind. On top of that, the location is great close to nearby spots in Paje while still feeling quiet and private. I would definitely recommend The Garten Living to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a relaxed Paje experience.
