There is no parking. We were forced to look for unsafe street parking 200 meters from
The hotel
There is an air of unprofessional ethics

Nice hotel
Nice hotel and centrally located. Staff very helpful. I had a room facing the street and as the windows are not very insulated, it was a bit noisy at times. The hot water in the shower was not always available, but OK in the morning. Will stay there again

One of the best in Nakuru........
We had a 3-day workshop at this hotel and it was great. Very strong wi-fi without interruptions. Good service and helpful staff.

Nice hotel in Nakuru but select the right room!
The only hiccup during my stay was related to hotels.com. Merica has two classes of rooms- modern ones like the pictures, and older standard rooms that need some TLC. If you are looking for the former, make sure to book the higher class of room. If you don’t mind the latter, they are clean and large.
