Top Kenya National Theatre Hotel Reviews

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended. Extremely helpful staff, very comfortable room and the grounds and garden are beautiful. There is a large pool and lots of places to relax in the gardens and several different restaurants to choose from. The airport transfer service was also excellent and waited for me despite my flight being very late."

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff"

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"This property is far above the limit of only 5 stars. From the cleanliness of the property to the immense variety at the breakfast buffet to the physical location of the property, it can't be beat. The cherry on top of all the icing the the friendliness of the staff, always a smile to greet you, the way your name is always used in greetings, makes it ultra comfortable. This not only is for the staff but extends to ALL level of management. While management probably has an office somewhere in the building, the preference is be always visible and, like the Operations Manager, prefers to work on his laptop near the open lobby."

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel

Nairobi Safari Club by Swiss-Belhotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with air conditioning. The staff are amazing and very professional . The hotel maintains airport like security. We were impressed by the standards of security."

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"The Sarova Stanley Hotel is an old fashioned downtown hotel leftover from a different era. Everything was right about the place. A beautiful facility, well cared for. Good food in the restaurants. I happened to have come down with a bad cold while in Nairobi. The staff gave me a little extra TLC. The lobby staff were particularly helpful in helping foreign visitors such as ourselves navigate the complexity of modern Nairobi."

Heri Heights Hotel Apartments, SureStay Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"Don't think of this as a hotel, think of this a furnished apartment with housekeeping. Great setting on the side of a hill with a bridge between buildings and a winding path below. Front desk was helpful and provided me with a temporary room to "crash" in while my actual room was being finished. The breakfast buffet was not huge, but there is no need for 100 items on a buffet, when 20 solid choices will do. If you are a picky traveller, do note that there is not air conditioning. For the rest of us, do note that there are plenty of trees and breezes; my room stayed comfortable the whole time I was there. This is not a new property, but it is in good shape [it has a few dents and dings, just like all of us get as we age :) ]. So the big question, would I stay here again? Yes."
