So disappointed cause it was my favorite Nairobi airport hotel but it seems they had cleaning crews working through the night, making noise all around us. Seems like they had a lot of day guests and were cleaning the rooms when we checked in at night. If you have a early flight and want to sleep, avoid it!

Today in Nairobi

This is a very well located hotel. It’s situated really close to the airport but yet you don’t hear the airport. The hotel is nice. It’s safe. It’s clean. If I have only one criticism, it’s the restaurants. The restaurants are too cold and uninviting. It’s almost impossible to have a conversation with a person sitting right in front of you next to you because of all the noise of all the guests that are in the restaurant and the chatter can be overwhelming

Great rooms, horrendous check in.

Dreadful check in. Waited over 30 minutes with no queue procedure in place for the check in desks. Staff allow people to push in with no order and when I checked in I was asked to wait for my room key on the sofas only to be left waiting for another 20 minutes before I went to enquire again. This was really bad, especially arriving late after a long flight. The hotel however is beautiful and the rooms are perfect.

Staff goes out of their way and is very friendly and kind. I was at the gym and asked if the spa had honey, an odd request that I thought was unlikely to be fulfilled but thought it could be possible if they made tea with honey. They said they didn’t have honey, but then she took it upon herself to go to the restaurant and get me honey! Wow. Things like this happened several times in a 2-day stay. Very impressive level of service. Highly recommended.
