In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff that guests remember — Multiple reviews single out the general manager and the wider team for being attentive, friendly, and quick to help.
  • A pool that earns its keep — The outdoor pool comes up again and again as a refreshing way to unwind after exploring the city.
  • Breakfast worth getting up for — Guests call the breakfast hot, adequate, and sometimes excellent, with special mention of Chef Jared's choices.
  • Location for shopping and sightseeing — The hotel sits close to Westgate mall, shops, and cafes, and is a 25-minute walk from the Nairobi National Museum.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Price is on the higher side — The Value rating sits below the hotel's other scores, and one guest noted paying USD 103 for a room with a bar.
  • A couple of mixed reviews — Ratings range from 5 to 10, with two guests scoring below 7 – one gave 6 and one 5 – though their written comments were still positive.
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with an animal, this property won't work – the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Check-out starts early — Check-out begins at 06:00 and ends at 10:00, which may feel tight if you like a slow morning.

“Our room was spacious, well appointed, and had a bathroom; the bar was a plus. We paid USD 103. The electric kettle and refrigerator were handy. Breakfast was good, hot, and adequate, and check-in was flexible. The hotel is really close to the post office, shops, and Westgate. We spent a nice evening at Ohcha, near the venue.”
