We were upgraded to the Penthouse Suite and found it exceptional. We were only there a night, but I could have easily moved in for an extended stay. The furnishings were tasteful, quite ample and very comfortable. The staff and overall ambiance were excellent. The pool is attractive, but the water wasn't heated, so it was rather rejuvenating. The lobby... More

Stayed here 1 night on the way to Safari and 1 night on the way out, at the suite room. The suite has a sitting room and a balcony and decorated in a taupe and earth colours. The hotel is located in a picturesque, leafy neighbourhood, close to the President's resident and the YaYa Mall. The service at the front... More

Our family stayed in at The Palacina on our way to Tanzania. The facility is gorgeous! We were in two rooms--a gorgeous triple and then were upgraded to the penthouse suite. Everything about the place is top notch---rooms, service, food (We ate at the Moonlight restaurant for dinner and were treated to live music. The restaurant also provides room service.)... More

Palacina has one of the best private dinning rooms. I've been there twice in the last month for birthday parties and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to throw a party for pax 20. The service, food and ambiance is that extra touch needed for a super dinner party. Thanks to Justus and his team. We will definately be... More

We stayed here for one night whilst en route to Tanzania for Safari. It was about a 30 min drive from the airport and you see a bit of Nairobi on the way. The hotel is behind heavy security doors and well guarded. We felt very safe. Rooms are lovely, very spacious and huge beds. Breakfast was quite limited but... More

We just spent one night at the Palacina following a two week Safari and prior to our flight home. The hotel is located near the state house thus is in a good location though nowhere in Naroibi is it safe to wander the streets. Every building is a walled compound. The Palacina is a small boutique hotel. We were in... More

My husband and I took a two week Safari in Africa. We arrived in Nairobi around 8:00 pm, so were tired from the long travel. The hotel is small, but the staff friendly and accomodating. We were able to order food, and wine/beer before heading to bed. Rooms were comfortable and modern. We had to go up several flights of... More
