Fairmont the Norfolk

Nairobi|0.43km from YMCA Central
Without the service awareness of the five-star hotel, I clearly stated that the room set for the second night was higher than the first night, and the money cost hundreds of dollars, not to say that the two rooms are the same. Since the same, why are the two room types and two price points? I won't choose this brand next time, it's too bad.
Nairobi Serena Hotel
4.4/546 Reviews

Nairobi Serena Hotel

Nairobi|0.8km from YMCA Central
The staff in this beautiful hotel is friendly, welcoming and helpful. The ambience is very tropical- relaxed and casual. The walls are adorned with African textiles, traditional implements, weapons etc. Rooms are luxurious and all the public areas are comfortable and tastefully presented. There is a large pool, excellent gym (I’m told), and the massages are well worth it. A jewel in a large busy city

Villa Rosa Kempinski Nairobi

Nairobi|0.99km from YMCA Central
Participating in the project business negotiation meeting is relatively close to the foreign unit, and choosing to stay in this hotel also shows our identity. This hotel is also the most luxurious hotel in the city, with first-class facilities and first-class service. Breakfast was excellent, and Ctrip prices were moderate.

The environment is quiet, the transportation is convenient, the purchase is convenient, the room is big enough, the service is friendly, clean and hygienic, the price is a little high, but acceptable, the most important thing is that you can cook for yourself
Sarova Stanley
4.3/5100 Reviews

Sarova Stanley

Central Business District Nairobi|1.21km from YMCA Central
Booked 3 club rooms for 3 separate nights during a multi-stop tour through Kenya. The Stanley and the 1902 lounge were one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely stay here again and specifically book the club rooms. First of all, the staff were incredible - Emilie, Collins, Benson (1902 lounge butlers), Steve (concierge) and Susan (management) deserve special recognition. They all went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing. The 1902 lounge is well worth the upgrade. Soft drinks and snacks during the day, and an incredible happy hour daily from 6-8 with hard drinks and hors d'oeuvres. And if your flight is later the day of checkout, you can use the lounge throughout the day. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. We tried all 3 restaurants during our stay - The Thorn Tree cafe provides an excellent breakfast and is good for lunch. Both the Thai Chi and Pool Deck restaurants were excellent dinner choices. If you are heading on Safari or to Mombasa you can leave the luggage you don't need with the concierge, taking only the things you need for that part of the trip. This makes traveling so much easier. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious and well-appointed. As we returned to the Stanley from one of the legs of our trip, we all remarked that it felt like we were ”coming home”. Would highly recommend.

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.

There is no Chinese service, the waiter is very enthusiastic and attentive. After staying for a few days, we are the two Chinese, and they respect the Chinese. Breakfast is okay, with fruits and salads. Chinese food and lunch are all buffets. During the epidemic, management is still very strict and the environment is good.

Nairobi|2.23km from YMCA Central
The breakfast buffet had an excellent array of choices and everything on offer was enjoyable. The staff was helpful and courteous. The security process and security doors and card access only areas seemed a bit over the top but we did indeed feel secure. We enjoyed a delicious Christmas Eve dinner on the top floor of the hotel. It was a memorable experience. My only complaint is that though I had the air conditioning on and temperature set to cool the room a bit, the unit was running during our two day stay and never cooled the room or reached the temperature chosen. Also the in room phone did not work. I did request a maintenance person come to check on both f these issues and no one ever came. The bed was very comfortable and the modern style of the room was nice.

Heri Heights Serviced Apartment By Trianum
3.9/532 Reviews

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

Central Business District Nairobi|0.65km from YMCA Central
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.

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.
