"Ole-Sereni review"
The new road being built right outside will make the hotel pretty noisy.
We did go back to the hotel for a meal before our flight home and that was very good - in the 4th floor restaurant." See all these reviews: 8n in Kenya
"Adequate stop-over"
Though the decor isn't to European tastes, it served its purpose just fine ." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 1n in Kenya
"Ole Sereni comments"
The bed was the hardest thing I have ever slept on - seriously uncomfortable and I hardly slept despite being tired after a long haul flight.
Three items in the room were broken or did not work - the most important being the door lock which in the current security environment in Kenya worried me quite some." See all these reviews: 5n in Kenya
We contacted the hotel for an explanation of the other points in particular the fact that the room did not lock, which is totally unacceptable and we have had no explanation as to how Mr and Mrs K were given a room in this condition. However the hotel has agreed to refund these travellers for their very sub-standard stay and the general manager has asked us to pass on his sincere apologies and his assurances that he will ensure a much better experience for our travellers in future.

"Ole-Sereni location is great"
The two downsides for us were the hard beds (a travel agent we met says she asks for her guests to be given extra padding!) and the fact that we were given a room directly above the entrance and there was considerable noise from vehicles/people arriving and departing throughout the night."

"Ole-Sereni review"
Very good service, dining across the park and able to have a quick breakfast before 6 am. Certainly an ideal place for a night's stay upon arrival for a safari." See all these reviews: 8n in Kenya
