Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was very kind. The cleaner was particularly very sweet and kind. Thank you"

Karen Plains Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place to stay! The staff were super helpful and always available whenever needed. A massive shout-out to the chef for making a banging breakfast every single morning. The room was incredibly comfy and clean, so I slept soundly every night. Wifi available throughout the hotel. Getting around was effortless, with a convenient Uber pick-up spot right outside. Plus, having The Waterfront shopping mall directly opposite on the main road was brilliant, plenty of great options for food and activities. Highly recommend, especially for solo travellers!"

Hemingways Nairobi

8/10 Good

"The infrastructure is amazing indeed 😍, very clean and organized from the lobby through the restaurant to the rooms is do beautiful. Great staff, just need a little bit of more presence on the staff. But at the spa it didn’t go well at all. The service was rushed, lots of interruptions in the journey. Therapist not professional at all. Both my wife and i didn’t like it all at the Spa. I hope the hotel authorities are away of this negative touch point and working on it. Checkout at 10am we found it too early , I think that is the earliest checkout time we’ve come across. For the money we paid, we were expecting a more higher service than we received."

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay as a solo traveler. I felt safe with cameras in the hallway. All the staff were friendly and eager to help with my needs. The buffet style food was good. I will definitely be staying there on my next trip. Only one thing there will be a fee for early check in which I wasn’t aware of before coming. Check in time is 2 pm which seems rather late to me. I travel up to 4 times a year and have never seen a check in time later than noon. However, that’s their policy."
