Drawing on years of hard-earned experience, the couple turned risk into resilience and resilience into practical excellence.
GoodPutt Hotel ticks all the right boxes. Its prime spot along the road has made it a familiar stop for local commuters, while inside, service excellence defines the experience. With a hospitality team that never misses a beat, guests are welcomed with warmth that keeps them coming back.
The hotel offers a diverse collection of uniquely styled rooms, from standard singles and doubles to deluxe doubles, twin rooms, and queen suites with pool views. Guests can also choose superior studios or economy singles and twins, each thoughtfully equipped with a desk, ironing facilities, free toiletries, a smart TV, and an electric kettle.
Additionally, the hotel elevates the dining experience with a well-equipped restaurant led by dedicated chefs and attentive waiters.
Guests enjoy a kid-friendly buffet, special-diet menus on request, breakfast served in the room, a lively bar, and an outdoor swimming pool. At the front desk, a 24-hour reception ensures seamless service, including private and express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, concierge support, and free parking.
Such excellence is no accident; it stems from a seamless working relationship that runs from top management to the junior-most staff.
As General Manager Mr. Robert affirms, “Since GoodPutt Hotel opened, I have been part of that dream. GoodPutt feels like home. And any guest that comes to GoodPutt is always welcomed as one of our family members.”
Hildah Chebet, the manager overseeing procurement and daily operations at GoodPutt, lays out compelling reasons why guests should choose the hotel over other options.
“GoodPutt is impressively accessible since we are just off the road. Also, the food is very amazing, and our amenities aim for the highest standards,” Hildah states.
A third perspective further cements GoodPutt’s reputation, reinforcing the image of a hotel built on resilience, teamwork, and unmatched hospitality.
Sila Kimtai, a loss control officer with Midal Group and supervisor, expresses admiration for being both a staff member and a true “part of the GoodPutt family.”
“I always choose GoodPutt. I wake up each and every morning to come and work here because I love this place. It is genuinely a nice place, and my working experience here has been the best,” Kimtai says.
GoodPutt Hotel is powered by entrepreneurial excellence and a team devoted to every guest. As the Gai Gai GoodPutt Plaza grows alongside the vibrant Kiamunyi neighbourhood, it stands tall as both a landmark and a living example of what a truly “good put” in hospitality looks like.
