Top The GoDown Arts Centre Hotel Reviews

Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"One of our favorite places that we go to almost every year, we usually bring a group of about 20 to 30 people at a time. The historic and cultural significance of the place and style is tough to beat if you’re looking for an authentic Kenny experience. People are amazing and the staff is so helpful. The food is better than most places in Kenya and the rooms are one of a kind."

Razana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the hotel were wonderful and helpful. Our father stayed there for a week and had a great experience. Thank you so much for all of your kindness to him. The gentleman that provides the hotel transportation was the such a kind man. He befriended our father and treated him like family. He even contacted us to ease our worries and sent us photos. We truly appreciate all of his kindness."

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here"

Nairobi Safari Club by Swiss-Belhotel

8/10 Good

"The wifi connection is very slow, not ideal to work from the hotel"

Nairobi Serena Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the Serena. Feels like you are in Kenya staying here and the staff, facilities and grounds are amazing. Location is perfect also."

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very warm, kind and helpful, The food is very good and the service is exceptional. Installations are cleaned and well maintained. The only thing is the quality of the coffee, which needs to be improved to match the high level of other beverage and food items."

New Urbane Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this stay there was definitely A1, I do wish they had other provisions and I would have stayed such as a microwave oven a mini refrigerator. A very good hotel I really did like it. However sleeping was difficult at night because of outside noise."

Maasai Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 5 day stay here. Our “lodge” overlooked the river gorge with the lovely sound of the river and views of the National Park. The gardens are stunning, like being in Kew Gardens. Staff were attentive. The food in the dining room was elaborate and flavourful - with lots of choice at the buffet. We would not hesitate to recommend nor return for another visit."

SNL Hotel & Gardens

8/10 Good

"My arrival got off to a complicated start, at reception my reservation and room weren't checked and I was given the key to a budget room, I declined that and was shown another room which was budget with a TV, which I said this isn't the room I've prepaid for, the hotel staff didn't seem to believe I'd booked a executive pool view room until I showed them my booking and receipt that I'd prepaid, I was eventually given the right room with the intervention of a staff member Joyce because I told her I was going to find another hotel and leave she asked if she could sort this out for me and not to leave I agreed and from that was given a great room and with good internet access and an amazing comfortable bed the day after my arrival from then there were no further issues. This hotel has the most amazing staff, friendly, welcoming and efficient and made my stay a pleasure,good facilities and great food and good pool. Downside is there's no kettle in the rooms, I asked but none available which is rare today in most hotels, they will bring you a flask of hot water for a fee but you feel a nuisance always asking for one,so maybe that needs looking at . Anyway a good stay at SNL but I have to thank the staff personally who made it so, Joyce, Kate,Katherine, Regina and Maggie on security you are all in my opinion a credit to this establishment and because of all of you yes I would stay here again, thank you...."
