Jambo Village Hotel

The rooms are plain, the plumbing needs work, and there are no blackout curtains. It’s fine if all you need is somewhere to sleep for the night, but I was hoping for more. Some improvements could definitely bring in more people.

It’s a practical, budget-friendly option in a handy spot near Rapids Camp, making local attractions easy to reach. The rooms include FHA, private rooms with rainfall showers and complimentary toiletries, though some could do with updating. Free self-parking and a complimentary grab-and-go breakfast are useful extras. There’s an on-site restaurant serving local and international food, plus a cosy bar for winding down after a day out. The staff are friendly and multilingual, and guests often praise how welcoming and helpful they are. A no-fuss, affordable stay in Murang'a.

The place is peaceful and the food is great, but the service is slow. It took nearly 30 minutes to get served, and this has happened before.

For my son’s birthday, I struggled to decide where to hold the event and didn’t settle until I found this place. The quiet and the air were amazing. I’d only take off a star because I was thinking about kids’ fun things, like a swimming pool and merry-go-rounds. Kudos to the workers. I’d choose it again for my events.
