Nice hotel. More upmarket than others. Very clean and offers a good service. I would recommend they do some more maintenance however, especially with the men’s steam room. It’s quite run down.

The location of this hotel is very good and very quiet. The front desk service is very thoughtful. Although I arrived late, they also helped me with my luggage.

The heron hotel is the the place to stay if you want a real feel for the warmth & charm of Nairobi & its people instead of a cold impersonal hotel. The owners & staff make you feel like part of their family and give wonderful support in every need of your visit ex. tours.& transportation. They speak very good English and their breakfast & coffee are excellent and will accommodate any request if possible. We stayed at 3 hotels in Nairobi and this one was our favorite for its peaceful and gracious atmosphere. The location is very amazing and the security is something to smile about. Wesley was very supportive, helpful and very efficient. Great hotel in Nairobi.

Me and my son accommodated at Heron hotel from 17 march until 21 march. Our room convenient, clean and neat with excellent air conditioning, which made sleeping very comfortable. Hotel facilities were great and lobby's decoration looked stylish and african. Only little problem was shower, which didn't work properly. Hotel staff was polite and helpful, but sometimes especially in restaurant service was quite slow and seemed little unprofessional. One morning we went 6 am for breakfast, but coffee and some foods were not ready. We also asked for omelets twice, but never got them. One evening I took food from menu, starter and maincourse and I got my maincourse first. We ate every evening at hotel's restaurant and always there was lack of some portions. At breakfast we were wondering, why there wasn't any cheese or cold cuts for on the bread. We needed taxi every day to move in Nairobi. At first couple days we let reception to order a taxi, which were quite expensive. 40 dollars to national museum and back. Then we dicided to use uber, which was much cheaper. After all we enjoyed our time in hotel heron and these little notifications are not complains, but to improve service.

Nice hotel, clean room. Good value for the price. The food was good. Great location, close to the city center. I stayed at the Heron for 11 days. I got to know some of the staff. Alex and Bob at reception were very kind, welcoming and helpful. The dinning/cafe staff, Daniel, Alex, Emily, Felix and Bashasha were courteous and friendly and great customers service. I would definitely stay at the Heron again.
