OLE SERENI HOTEL

It is situated along Mombasa road opposite the junction of Likoni road and Mombasa road. The huge sign board with the name engraved on it is hard to miss on the highway. The hotel is relatively new and a lot of construction is still going on around the outside the hotel since it was opened up to visitors. The reception area is decorated in brown and yellow African designs, which is manned by two competent staff members. The stairs are well polished and the wooden floor is well taken care of.
The dinning are is divided into two sections; the first one is on the outside balcony overlooking the Nairobi National Park. The second section is inside the hotel that is also themed brown and yellow. The hotel offers professional conference rooms, global cuisine plus one hundred and thirty four guest rooms. The guest rooms are of four categories:
· The Superior (58 rooms) at a cost of 270$ per night
· The Deluxe (48 rooms) at a cost of 320$ per night
· The club (26 rooms) at a cost of 380$ per night
· 2 Executive Suites with Jacuzzi at 700$ per night
The water bar overlooks the park directly offering a spectacular view of the Kenyan wildlife. The Ole Sereni has a restaurant named the Big Five restaurant that serves oriental, grills (Nyama choma), Italian, African and Middle Eastern. The conference rooms are a total of ten with a capacity of between 20 to 500 guests. The rooms are slightly neglected however, after great consultations they may re- arrange the place.
What really seemed 100% prepared was the mouth watering Simba Buffet menu which consisted of:
1. Appetizer: chefs soup of the day
· Mirrors of cold meats with garnishes
· Breeds of dressing and pickles
2. Salad selection: watercress and orange
· Potatoes red onions and herbs
· Peeled cucumber, mint and yoghurt
3. Hot dish selection: Chicken and Penne Pasta with rocket and pesto oil.
· Rice pilaf
· Ugali with spinach and Herbs
4. Dessert: Pastries and cakes of variety
· Fresh fruits

The hotel sadly seems to rely heavily on the fact that they are in the Nairobi National Park and customers are pulled form there, but they should try to capture more clientele especially the business executives.
