The service was impressive, the hotel was clean and comfortable. The common areas and restaurant were lovely. The only area that needs a bit of updating is the gym. It's functional, but showing it's wear and tear.

Not 5 Star. Decent Value

The hotel grounds were lush but the inside of the hotel was decent, and that's the perfect word to describe my overall experience at The Boma Nairobi. The food was just decent. Breakfast? For the money, it was simply "okay." Truth be told, I was disappointed with my stay. The mini fridge had leftover condensation and a bit of mold inside, which might not have been a huge issue to handle had it worked. This is a decent hotel - it's not a 5 star establishment.
