Edward Orange saved the day and changed our outlook on this property. Our sincerest thanks to him for focusing on customer satisfaction over all else!! He even let our overlt tired crew go to our rooms to sort out our reservation paperwork bf he took in our payment. Because of him, we will consider Crowne Plaza again. But it will be important to avoid unnecessary online booking confusion between the Nairobi Crowne Plaza hotels that have different fees, services, etc.

İyi konum İyi oda Kötü Wifi Sinir bozucu kapı

Nairobi'ye giderseniz Upper Hill otel konaklaması için çok iyi bir konum. Otel temizlik olarak oda büyüklüğü ve imkan olarak çok iyiydi. Bu konularda memnun kaldım. Küvet kadar yüzme havuzu ve büyük bir spor salonu var. Spor salonu iyiydi fakat koşu bantlarından 2 tanesi hariç hepsi arızalı. Restoranda yemek lezzetli fakat her gün menüde o var bu yok. Menüye değil de size ne verebiliyorlar ona göre sipariş veriyorsunuz. Personel çok ilgili ve kibar. İnterneti rezalet. Kapı kartı sorunu ise bana kafayı yedirtti. 4 kere falan kart çalışmıyo diye resepsiyona gittim. Madem olmuyo ANAHTAR kullansanız da sürekli bi asansörü kullanamadığımdan bir odayı açamadığımdan kartı değiştirtmesem. 1 fazla günümü de iptal edip geri ödeme kabul ettim. Kabul etmediler fakat odamı daha iyi bir odayla değiştirdiler.

Not a Happy Stay

Not a good experience. It was supposed to be a relaxing few nights before I flew back to the UK. The TV only had news channels, despite the internet advertising DSTV movie channels, and them being available during my stay in Nov 2020. The phone chargers next to the bed did not work. The water in the shower and bath was cold; this was rectified on the last day of my stay. We had to chase for our rooms to be cleaned, as we returned at 4pm and they hadn't been cleaned.

Club lounge in Nairobi - staffer most miserable

Checkin with Niomi was excellent. Club lounge is very nice. However, one male staffer was the worst staffer we have ever encountered at any IHG club. He should wash dishes instead of being with ambassador members. Bed super comfortable.
