1. Riara One Apartment

Thompson Estate

"Spent a romantic weekend in Nairobi with my partner, and this apartment was the perfect choice. The apartment has modern decor, comfortable bedding, and great balcony views. In the evenings, we could enjoy candlelight dinners at nearby Kalamata restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. Exploring the city during the day was convenient, and we could return to enjoy private space in the apartment. Front desk also arranged airport transfer service for us - very thoughtful."

Top Thompson Estate Hotel Reviews

Nairobi Safari Club by Swiss-Belhotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with air conditioning. The staff are amazing and very professional . The hotel maintains airport like security. We were impressed by the standards of security."

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"Hyatt Place is a great hotel, conveniently located within a short walking distance of nearby restaurants and clubs. The property is well-maintained, and the staff are incredibly helpful, welcoming, and hardworking. My one significant piece of feedback is the hotel's inability to provide small change or break larger bills. I genuinely wanted to show my appreciation to the hardworking staff through tips, but unfortunately, the hotel was unable to assist. What surprised me most was that every other hotel I stayed at during my trip, including the safari lodges in the Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha, managed to provide change despite being in remote locations. I strongly believe hotels should keep smaller denominations readily available so guests can recognize and reward staff for their excellent service. It's a small detail that can make a big difference, especially for the employees who work so hard to create a wonderful guest experience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend Hyatt Place, but I hope management takes this feedback into consideration."

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were kept cleaned daily. Staff are friendly helpful & polite. Laundry service available. Breakfast had plenty of options. Dawa (kenya tea is a must try) Beautiful surroundings. Convenience of the mall Lots to do onsite . I intend to stay here again. We were welcomed & well looked after by the staff. I highly recommend this hotel."
