Things to do in Karen
1. Severine Cottages & Lounge
Overall Ratings
5 based on 43 reviews
Severine cottages are located in the affluent green suburbs of Karen, Nairobi. The cottage homes have a creative fusion of the Nordic wood and Swahili culture. There are 4 cottages, each with two bedrooms, loft to sleep more guests, bathroom, kitchen and large terrace, private generous garden equipped safari garden furniture as well as a shared restaurant, bar and lounge. We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Nairobi capital, but close enough that the Central Business District is only half an hour away by taxi. Every chalet is fitted with a modern kitchen fully fitted with basic kitchenware and storage space. Our wooden, clean finish and well-polished open kitchen counter provide a good place for eating meals or having conversations. There is an array of things to do and see close by. These include restaurants, local markets, animal parks and shopping centres.
Amazing Experience
Reviewed By José Maria NWe enjoyed every bit of Severine. The cottages are amazing. A five star hide-away indeed! we were celebrating my wifes's birthday and the staff made it so special by setting up amazing decor and dinner for us with our daughter. We really had so much fun. Herman the manager is so friendly. Millie too. They made our stay unforgettable.

My Karen home in Nairobi
Reviewed By AkulasthraxusThe staff here really make the difference, they always said hello to me as I was coming/going, helped me with anything I needed to find, want to see, or to locate a COVID test for travel, somewhat typical to Africa, there is a lot of small repairs that need to be done to the property, and you see more the closer you look, but it's a good hotel in a decent area, with a good price, and I work remotely at nights via the internet and the internet here was plenty good enough to support working from a cloud based desktop. I would stay here again.

Does what it says on the tin!
Reviewed By RJH51My wife and I stayed here for a week while visiting our daughter and family. The suites “do what it says on the tin”: they are clean, spacious, with helpful staff and good security in a good peaceful location. My only criticism (hence the 4 rather than 5 stars) is that the shower could have benefitted from more power.

Disappointed and Defrauded
Reviewed By Happy FMy family and I stayed at this hotel for the first 5 days we were in the hotel. The first problem was no water in the toilet to flush. I complained about this right away. NOTHING was done. We had to fetch water, pour into the water reservoir in the toilet to flush. Remember we were paying $130/night for this room. I will not recommend anyone stay here at all. Why when you can spend $100/night at other 5 star hotels in the city. I wanted a B&B because I thought it would be an enjoyable experience- something different-NOT. Also due to miscommunication I was informed that breakfast was $15. Two days before checking out my friend asked me why we were not eating at the hotel. I told them its $15 and they said it should be included and they would ask for me. They asked and another staff member reported that breakfast was included. So yes please let all the staff members have the correct information to impart to guests. The rooms are very very cold at night for those who are sensitive to cold. The walls in this B&B are very thin. You hear everything going on in the next rooms or outside- so noise will be your friend nightly. The biggest thing that I feel peeved me more than anything is being defrauded by the so called assistant manager. He is a young man who until this time I thought had been very helpful. I asked him if he would help us secure a taxi everyday we were there and he was gracious enough to call them for me. He would tell us the price and tell my husband and I that he had spoken to the driver and secured us the best deal possible. Later on I met one of the drivers at the tail end of my time in Nairobi and while I was at a different hotel. I asked him if he had received the money i left for his fare rate. The assistant manager had asked me to leave the pay with him and not worry about paying the driver. He told me yes he did. He mentioned a price that was 600 ksh less than what I paid. I asked him if he was sure that was the amount he received and he told me yeah the price would never be more than that. So it seems the 600ksh was the fee the assistant manager paid himself. Now I was just crest fallen that the people who work at this B&B who are supposed to be looking out for you, helping you navigate Nairobi as a whole are the same people who are defrauding you of your hard earned money. Shame shame shame on you, and biggest shame on that assistant manager. I understand trying to get ahead in life- but at the expense of your integrity- not worth it young man. I hope you can learn to be honest and not try to do this to other tourists. Otherwise you have lost my business forever.
