Orchid homes is located in a quiet, green, secure and beautiful, neighbourhood and very close to the United Nations Complex which was an added advantage for me. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable with mosquito net, and the staff are fantastic and very friendly and helpful.

The room did not have net on the windows which could be uncomfortable if you choose to leave the windows open, letting in mosquitos and there was no fan or aircondition however the weather was cool at night so it was not so bad.

Breakfast made fresh to order and staff were responsive to dietary constraints, colleague is devout Muslim and I have some idiosyncratic tastes, both catered for and remembered for following days. Evening meal was limited choice but good and served to our requested time - quite late because of work commitments. Perhaps slightly expensive for quality but availability was a plus.

I had.a problem with internet connection. Was not resolved even though other rooms appeared Ok. Given I was working with colleagues globally this was a constraint - could not stay in office to work in the evening. There was flooding which is clearly not their fault and backup power generator worked but I ended up off line for a while - perhaps did me good to be so?

Location terrific for those engaged in United Nations activities -an easy and pleasant walk both early morning and evenings ... Also not far from a supermarket and restaurants (two easily within walking distance - I went to neither but they looked worth trying). About 1/2 to 3/4 hour from the airport by taxi ... Also - they continue to provide small containers of body wash, shampoo and conditioner plus soap tablets: such a plus (instead of those generic large containers of body wash and shampoo provided, now, in so many hotels - particularly the big chains).

Lovely circular staircase but would be wise to include some good lighting immediately overhead to ensure each stair is clearly defined ... easy to walk down but lighting specific to the staircase would be good. (This would not prevent my returning, but just a note for additional care.)

Lovely place with a home feel on it. Nice personal treatment. For example, when I was going out and the an unexpected shower was just starting, the host asked me if I needed an umbrella. I thought why not, which then saved me from getting totally soaked later in town centre as the rain did not want to stop for 2 hours, flooding everything :)

The room was comfy and clean, but the bathroom was very basic. It was still manageable and given all the other good bits of this place at the end I did not mind it.

“Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, excellent location, close to restaurants and malls. Good for work when you need to be in meetings in the UN.”

The shower is not good. In adequate water is coming out from the shower.

Ambience: the place is truly a home away from home. Quiet serene environment well-maintained garden. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking at the garden and listening to the birds sing. It was nice to come from a busy day of work and stay at this peaceful guest house. The host is also great everything went so smoothly and I enjoyed every bit of my stay

nothing it was all very good

The staff were fantastic. So friendly and helpful. Really made the stay lovely. Very quiet location and very safe. Great value for money as location for United Nations brilliant. Lovely lounge area to sit in and very light and bright

Excellent accommodation for business travellers. Very secure. I felt safe. I had dinner at the property a few times during my stay and the food was delicious. Rose, Agnes and the whole Orchid Homes team made me feel very welcome and right at home :)

Only downside was low water pressure in the bathroom. Apart from that, everything was excellent.

I enjoyed that it was quiet and calm with a pleasant and cosy atmosphere. The swimming pool is a nice. It is a nice location, at walking distance from the mall, the UNEP site and the forest. The room was not very big, but that corresponded to the price - good price/quality ratio. Breakfast was good as well.

Ladies at the desk and kitchen were very nice and helpful. For the breakfast you may choose (eggs, toasts ecc), the room is nice, clean, the bed is comfortable, TV works and the garden is nice. The area is extremely safe (surrounded by embassies, UN builiding and so on..), close to tea plantage Kiambethu (about 15 min drive), to the city centre it takes about 30-40 minutes drive by car.
