Karen Gables, hotel in Nairobi

Surrounded by 1.5 acres of lush gardens, Karen Gables is located in Karen, 1.1 mi from Oloolua Nature Trail. It is built in Cape Dutch style. Free private parking is available on site.

I travel a lot. The room was incredibly luxurious, expecially for the price. I develped severe vision problems on my trip to Kenya while traveling alone as an 82 year-old male; they were unexpected. The staff members were aware of my situation and helpful with showing me the hotel layout. The food was consistently very good and I enjoyed the wine options.

Wonderful staff, always helpful and friendly and Kendi the owner was so kind and hospitable; everyone made me feel so at home.
