More like “Faded Glamour”, we imagine this place was great 5-10 years ago, however it’s seriously lacking some love now and some decent service. Upon arrival we had a shuttle service from the train station, which was fine, then when we arrived it was a very hot day and we weren’t offered a drink, only told we couldn’t have the room till 3, we then got offered a warm bottle of water. We had a hot spring room, just off from the breakfast room, sound insulation was terrible. The room was fine but in need of some TLC. Our shower didn’t work at first and our toilet leaked. Not all plug sockets worked, the “fridge” was room temperature, and the blind didn’t work. It was my partners birthday and I asked if we could have a meal at the hotel, to which they said no, and go to the train station there are numerous restaurants around there! We asked to do laundry, same answer go to the train station there is a laundrette opposite. All in all, this place is very disappointing, not worth the money, definitely not what it says on the tin.

Very tranquil location, perfect for relaxing

Price is not cheap and its out of the way

Beautiful swimming pool & natural surroundings. And the happy hour with complimentary wine & cider in the evening.

A few minor things could use updating. The light switch cover by the hot spring tub outside our room, for example. Oh, and there’s not much to see or do in the area, so be prepared to enjoy the property. It wasn’t a problem for us because our son loved the pool!

Set amongst the natural wonders of the East Rift Valley, The Silence Manor is a lovely place to stay, with a quiet ambiance, beautiful grounds, and a serenity that is indicative of the name! The half board package includes a pleasant dinner and breakfast, both served with a smile in a fitting dining room that is surrounded by the outside world with large, glass windows on 3 sides! The rooms are rustic, with access to personal hot springs that are great for tired limbs and help set up a comfortable nights sleep. The staff are all charming and helpful!

Whilst the location for some will be perfect, as it is away from noisy roads and set in a stunning location, for those who want more local restaurants and amenities, there isn’t as much available without a car. There was also a slight drainage smell that was thankfully masked by a scented candle.

Good vegetarian dinner and breakfast, nice small pool, comfortable room.

Because the pool is small you have to reserve to use it and you can then only use it for 1 hour. Luckily they let us use it longer when no one else reserved after us, but hopefully this Covid restriction will be lifted soon. There is not so much to do in the area, you’ll need to drive to tourist sites.
