From the airport transfer to check-in and the daily interaction with the staff, the Fairview is a delight. It’s a peaceful refuge in the middle of Nairobi. My room was pleasant and comfortable. No complaints.

I have stayed at this property for over 30 years due to frequent travel for work. The consistency of the remarkable service, the comfort, the food/room/amenity qualities are remarkable. However, always the best is the attention to detail that the staff supplies to promote exceptional service. This may be my favorite hotel anywhere.

Lovely hotel.

We always enjoy staying at the Fairview. Cost plus fees is our deterrent. There are lots of fees that can add $100 USD to a weekend stay. Staff are great. Loyalty week provided tasty treats. Very nice.

Favorite Nairobi Hotel

Made last-minute reservations due to program change. So happy the hotel had space for us. They combined the last-minute and our later reservation. Here for 5 days. Great (favorite) breakfast buffet. Restaurants offer wide variety of options. Front desk clerks very helpful. Gorgeous gardens.
