"The Norfolk Hotel review"
I tended to to discover their Tribe, and, largely speaking Kiswahili had interesting discussions, which were frequently hilarious. I felt I was being treated as a long lost friend, which, considering this was my favourite hotel from 1953 until I, latterly we, moved to West Nyanza. The Hotel was more modern in many ways but retained its essence. The courtyard garden was still beautiful. Food and service were outstanding. It was sad to see that it was necessary for there to be a permanent armed guard from the GSU the first leader of which had been a friend as I told the startled askaris on duty.
Our driver at this time was Kim who was first class." See all these reviews: 10n in Kenya
