Heri Heights Serviced Apartment By Trianum

Nairobi|0.65km from YMCA Central
The apartment is spacious, location is perfect and great ambience. The gardens were beautiful and the staff are friendly. However being second-time guests, we never thought the services had deteriorated so much since the last time. First, we were given stained beddings and towels. This is a NO NO for hotels, especially a 4-star one. The water pressure in the house was very low especially downstairs and my husband and I had to go shower in the children's bathroom. This is not to mention that eventually, the water in the shower would go cold after 10 minutes. We were here for one month and this was never addressed even after reporting it to the reception. The washing machine has no drier so we were given a small line to hang clothes but they couldn't dry since it was the cold season. When we reported they took our clothes to dry at their laundry and one time they returned our clothes with chewing gum stuck. On our last day 20th July, there was no water in the apartment with no solution in sight. Talking about the restaurant, their service is really slow taking even up to almost one hour to deliver in the room or serve. The menu is also limited. Generally, the apartment needs to be refurbished because at one time the bathroom mirror fell off and almost injured my daughter. Additionally, the upstairs toilet was unstable and would slightly shake when sat on. There was also evidence of smashed mosquitoes on the walls, ceilings, and mosquito nets. For a family of four, there were only 4 spoons and very few cups and glasses. Honestly, you can add a few more. I must mention that for the wifi it is rather weak and only worked in particular spots of the house. The gym equipment is not in good working condition, an example being the socket of the treadmill at one point started smoking. The TV in the room is not an up-to-date one. The reception could be more efficient though I guess they were doing the best within their power. Reading the reviews of other guests I'm left wondering why we are the only ones with this kind of review. Did we just get poor service for the same rates or are there superior services for other guests? Sorry, but I don't recommend this facility unless things change.

Kenya Comfort Hotel
3.4/514 Reviews
Central Business District
We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our safari. It is right next to shuttle bus stop off from Arusha. The food in the restaurant is pretty decent with lots of choices and you have everything under one roof including a bar if you want to stay in. There is a lot of noise from partying locally at the weekend. The staff are really helpful and friendly, especially Connie, Joseph, Caroline and all the reception/security staff. They made our stay a lot more enjoyable. Our room was spacious and had twin beds and an on suite toilet and shower. I would stay here again particularly because of the location.

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel
4.2/553 Reviews
Central Business District
Great service from front desk. They were accommodating to early check-in and slightly late check-out depending on vacancies. Didn't check out the facilities. Breakfast wise was alright. not much varieties though. Anyway we are there to stay in the room. Room is perfectly sized and cozy for us to rest in. Highly recommend to all if you are looking for a hotel in CBD area.
Chester Hotel and Suites
3.9/518 Reviews
Central Business District
The location of the hotel is surrounded by many supermarkets in the downtown area, and life is very convenient. The hotel facilities are also good for a small family life. The kitchen and other daily necessities are complete. The waiter cleaned and washed dishes every day. The hotel is relatively quiet, a few gates, and it is very safe. What I like most is that the price is very reasonable and it is a hotel with super high cost performance. Will come here again next time.
Nairobi Safari Club
3.9/558 Reviews
Central Business District
Personally feels pretty good, although the hotel is a bit old, but still very clean, each room is in the form of a suite, a bedroom and a small living room, a comfortable sofa and a small dining table for eating, the layout is reasonable, and more Satisfied is that you can have an extra bed, and it is free, and the price is very high. The family with big children will sleep more comfortably.
Mayhouse 680 Hotel

We have to sit for 40 minuttes because we have to order what we Want ( ommelet and boiled eggs ). 40 minuttes for breakfast is long.... before 680 hotel had a buffe, and that was really nice! I Can’t believe how much this hotel has gone down from last year! I have been loyal and felt at home here for so many years! But i will book another hotel for my stay in April! Even the puillos this time had old blod on them......
