Dear Friends,
I stayed in the hotel for 7 days and it was a very confertable stay.
A fully eqquiped hotel with free break fast, use of swimming pool and free Wifi made the things even better.
A centrally located hotel, banks, malls, casino market all are in around the hotel.
Good food and helping & courtious behavier of the staff will make the stay very nice.
All credit cards including Amex are accepted here.

The place is set in a secluded environment, with good food, though be prepared for a long waiting time. Easier if you can call in the order. The food is top notch, especially the Indian cuisine.
3. Kokeb Restaurant
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 19 reviews
Kokeb Restaurant is a peaceful oasis offering not only authentic Ethiopian cuisine in a casual atmosphere, but also Italian and Kenyan food. You can eat indoors, but I always enjoy eating in their shaded eating area outside. Beautiful, and a must for any stopovers through the Rift Valley.

I've been here three times but only eaten here twice. It's actually a pretty decent place in terms of decor, clean and modern-ish.
The first time I came with a friend, it was very early evening, the staff greeted us and were pleased we were there, we indicated that we wanted to eat there and sat down. The staff just stood around chatting, and after ten minutes of waiting, I approached the staff to ask if we could order. They told us they were closing. We were the only ones there, but it as very early evening and we'd been told we could order, so I couldn't understand what was going on.
I decided to try it a second time, it was late afternoon/early evening and I was hungry, and again we were the only ones in the restaurant. Half of the menu was unavailable, but we didn't know this until we actually asked for each item. And 35 minutes after our order had been taken, the wait person came back and told us that three of the items we'd ordered were no longer available, so we had to once again consult the menu which took even longer. And then at some point the music from the night club in the building started blaring away. It was so loud we couldn't hear each other talking. Only one person seemed to be focused on serving us, while the other three just stood around chatting and texting.
The food when it was finally served about an hour later was ok, but not as good as what I would expect for such a nice looking establishment, and the wait! The prices were ok and not over the top.
So I came back the next week because I was determined to try and have a good experience here. It was Sunday lunch time, and
it fared better than the last time, this time only 1/3 of the menu had run out...oh wait, the wait person came back to us 10 minutes later to tell us that half our order wasn't available. This time there were only three people working, although an extra person joined later. But it still took 15 minutes for our juices to be poured - however, at this point we were still the only people in the restaurant. About an hour later (this is during the lunch period), the very loud night club music started again! It was terrible and again ruined the lovely atmosphere.
Technically this should have a 'terrible' rating, but because of the decor I rated it higher.

We came for lunch several times, and the food was always good. The Indian manager was very friendly and treated us like special guests. Compared to Java or KFC in Nakuru, gilanis is much cheaper with equal quality.
