Guest Ratings & Reviews
I stayed at a hotel with rooms that were quiet overall, but noise from the busy road was noticeable on weekends. The rooms definitely need a modern upgrade, especially in terms of furniture, bathroom fittings, lighting, and tiling. The service was friendly and efficient, although not very knowledgeable about city sights. The location was convenient, right in the heart of the city and in front of the university. The dining options were fantastic, though a bit pricey. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, although spacious, were clean and the bathroom was well-maintained despite the water issue. The service was exceptional with the staff being helpful and showing pride in their work. The location was convenient, close to the city center and business district, although it may not be the most attractive area. The dining options were good but slightly pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are more like suites, complete with a sitting area and separate bed space, though some issues with hot water. The service is friendly but requires further training to reach international standards. The location is convenient, just opposite the University and close to the city center, despite being in a busy commercial area. The dining options are a mix of African and continental, with varying quality. The facilities are basic and in need of improvements.
This hotel exceeded my expectations with its extremely large and comfortable rooms, featuring a separate living room and bedroom. However, the curtains could have been better to ensure full privacy. The service was always top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and well-informed, though some training could enhance the hotel's standards further. The location was convenient, especially for catching the safari bus, but the surrounding commercialized area might not be the most attractive. The dining experience was alright, offering a mix of African and continental cuisine. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
The hotel has rooms that are very dated and could use some upgrading, but the caring and friendly staff make up for it. The breakfast buffet provided is nice. The service, though needing further training to reach an 'international' level, was still very good and friendly. The location is convenient, supportive, and just opposite the University, close to the Fairmont Norfolk and Nairobi Central Business District. The dining experience, while a bit expensive, was fairly good with various hot pot dishes available.
The hotel's rooms are huge and nicely furnished with a city view balcony, but they are a bit old-fashioned and dark for a 4/5-star hotel. The service is very helpful and friendly, although there were initial issues with wifi access. The location is convenient, opposite the University and close to the city center but in need of an upgrade. Dining options are modest, with limited choices. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money but has certain areas in need of improvement.
