"I booked a one night stay at the Weston Hotel for my girlfriend as she needed to handle some business in Nairobi. The Weston staff was amazing from pick up at the Wilson airport until dropping her back off the next day. The friendly staff was there to help in any way possible. Everything was very clean and well kept! She also enjoyed the wonderfully prepared breakfast buffet before heading out. Definitely would recommend stay at the Weston Hotel. This will be our go to hotel while in...

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

Hemingways Eden Residence

Edaala Comfort

10/10 Excellent

"Edaala Comfort is a hidden gem with a warm, authentic Kenya atmosphere. The area called Karen felt totally safe, with plenty of local shops nearby, and it’s perfectly located — just minutes from Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Centre. The property is secure, the breakfast is great, and getting around is easy since Uber is cheap and readily available. Overall, a fantastic place to stay."

Osoita Lodge

10/10 Excellent
