"My stay was very pleasant over the course of 12 nights. The hotel has beautiful gardens, and the management, café, and housekeeping staff are very helpful and courteous; the facilities are clean and well-maintained. The location is ideal—it’s a bit far from downtown but is situated in the international community neighborhood, surrounded by embassies, UN offices, paddle tennis clubs, and shopping centers. I’ll definitely choose this hotel for my next visit."

"A beautiful gated property with lush green gardens. It didn't feel like you were in the city and was very quiet. The included breakfast is a la carte service. It's generous, and delicious but plan some extra time for breakfast as the food is freshly prepared for you. The rooms are spacious. The front desk was extremely helpful with assisting me with my touring arrangements while in Nairobi. A shout out to Lucy and Claire."

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean and good security, good location I did not just like how the rooms are designed"

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast, nice and friendly saff"

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The check in staff was exceptional. However the gentleman who drove me to the airport on August 6 around 5:30 am was less bothered in his courtesy. I struggled with getting my suitcase down the stairs and he just gawking at me and no courtesy at all. He repeated the same unprofessional behavior at the airport when he stepped out of the car. He sat inside in the car and had no common sense to step out of the car and open the trunk/boot. Other than that the hotel is easily accessible and very safe. The housekeeping staff was excellent. This was second stay at the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and several choices"
