There are relatively few Chinese guests staying in this hotel, but it has a very high rating on TripAdvisor, ranking seventh in Africa. I deliberately experienced it with the mentality of learning and exploration. First of all, this hotel is indeed very unique. Just like its name, it is a real club style. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, open, young and avant-garde. The decoration is rough industrial style but yet refined, and the furnishings are also full of design. A standard small boutique hotel. It is especially suitable for young people, especially friends who are engaged in new media, because there are theme parties here basically every day, and you can meet many Internet celebrities and various experts from Africa and other countries here! The food is delicious, the coffee is delicious (they bake it themselves), and the bedding and mattresses are very comfortable. Although the hotel is not large, the hygiene standards are really high, and the hardware is very well maintained! The service concept is also different from most hotels. It is very relaxed. Everyone is a social master and allows you to integrate quickly. Every staff member chats with you like an old friend or neighbor and can remember each guest's profile. Special taste preferences (for example, if you ask for a certain condiment or food on the first day, they will proactively and naturally serve it to you when you eat the next day!!!) It is unbelievable that there are so many guests, and they seem to all How can I remember when I’m so busy😅? ! ! If you want to make new friends and like big parties, choose this hotel! ! ! But you have to book in advance, it’s normal to be fully booked!

This hotel is amazing...easily a 10/10. Top notch hospitality, beautifully decorated hotel inside and out, nice clean rooms, and great food and entertainment. I truly enjoyed my stay. I'm definitely looking forward to returning in the very near future.

Good service, Nice room but somewhat limited space for working and clothes. Good food & drinks. Clean and fresh but could do without the carpet in the living area. Friendly personnel. The app still needs some development e.g. the messaging doesn’t work.

We stayed at The Social House on several occasions throughout our stay in Kenya. At every turn there were smiling and friendly faces to accommodate our every need and more! Breakfast each morning was a beautiful buffet of fresh fruit, juices, pastries, made to order omelettes and more! Our rooms were well furnished and we always felt safe and welcome upon our return. Ibrahim made our stay especially wonderful and we will miss him! When visiting Lavington, Nairobi, don’t miss out on the social house!!

Excellent ambience, facilities, food and customer service. Everything about The Social House was well thought out and unique. It curates an experience for you from the moment you walk in till the moment you leave. I highly recommend this destination even if you can’t stay there go for the food and cafe experience.

Beautiful evening. Salsa event rocked the place. We enjoyed much. The food was on point and drinks made us enjoy more. David gave a good service and we felt right at home. The music was nice . The outdoor area was ok. My friends loved the whole place and we will be returning for more entertainment and dance classes.
