Top Kenyatta International Convention Centre Hotel Reviews

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel in all of Kenya. And that’s not an understatement and yes, I’ve been to hotels all over Kenya for the last 11 years. Maybe there is a hotel that is drastically nicer and more luxurious up in the Masai Mara like the other JW Marriott in that location that’s $5000 a night or the Ritz Carlton in that area for $5000 a night but for 150-600 USD a night in Nairobi there is nothing better. The quality of the food the furnishings, pool, and all of its many other features is unparalleled. The Hyatt Regency might have a nicer gym, but the JW Marriott is superior in every other way."

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent time at our stay at Radisson Blu upper Hill. The premises were sparkling clean and the staff went out of their way to provide an amazing service. We plan to stay at the hotel again next week and would recommend it highly."

"Il y a un manque flagrant,activité au bar le soir et le personnel manque un peu d,entregent.Le client est laissé seul.Les chambres propreté impeccable. Le staff de service à accueil est compétent, mais le personnel des bars complètement incompétent"

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"One of our favorite places that we go to almost every year, we usually bring a group of about 20 to 30 people at a time. The historic and cultural significance of the place and style is tough to beat if you’re looking for an authentic Kenny experience. People are amazing and the staff is so helpful. The food is better than most places in Kenya and the rooms are one of a kind."
