One of the towns that have rapidly grown is Thika, Left right and center Thika has been buzzing with hotels and restaurants to meet the growing demand for food as most of these are always full to capacity. My friends and I were heading to Nanyuki for a photography gig, we opted to do a stopover at Thika and Paleo Hotel came highly recommended. Paleo is sandwiched between upcoming apartments that are still under construction as the road here has been turned to dust. One can easily mistake the hotel for the apartments, it was not for the hotel has a big signboard on the top of the building. Walking into the lobby, it’s immediately clear that a lot of thought went into the redesign. There’s hardly a place for your eyes to land that doesn’t feel like an Instagram-worthy moment. the elegant reception area while the aroma from the sparkling kitchen joins it to the restaurant bay where the decor is epic. There is a lift connecting to the rest of the arenas where accommodation rooms, a modern bar, and conference halls are in between floors while the gym and swimming pool are on the rooftop. We were tempted to do a dip for 300 each, but we reminded ourselves we were only going there for lunch ad we continue with our journey. Walking in the gym is Ksh 500, monthly Ksh 4,000 while couples can have those power goals at Ksh 7,000 per month. The meals here are so affordable and by cheap I mean from Ksh 200 so are the drinks. The well-decorated menu showcases a range of delicacies that are cooked upon order. However, there is always a ready buffet at Ksh 600, some of my friends opted for this while I went for Porked chops and strawberry smoothie. The waitresses frequently asked us if we were alright or if we wanted any extra thing. The WI-FI is on another level, super-fast, with no buffering, and passwords. In between chatter and laughter, we were glad we found this hotel. I would want to come back and try out their swimming pool and accommodation.
