Top Nairobi Hotel Reviews

Argyle Grand Hotel Nairobi Airport

Argyle Grand Hotel Nairobi Airport

6/10 Okay
"The hotel itself and the staff were very nice, the room was clean. The problem I experienced was the first room I was given was facing the road and the noise from the nightclub down the road was very loud. I spoke to reception and they very quickly moved me to another room, where it was quieter but there was still some base and noise from the club. If you are someone who really needs proper quiet to sleep, I wouldn’t recommend this place. If some background noise doesn’t bother you, the hotel is otherwise very nice."
