The hotel stands in well maintained gardens in a secure and serene environment, in a quiet residential area, away from the traffic and noise of downtown Nairobi.
Within easy reach of giraffe centre and Nairobi National Park together with Wilson airport, as well as new shopping malls and local bars.

Upscale camping at the Wildebeest Eco Lodge :)
I had an enjoyable two night stay in the deluxe camp tent, the weather in Nairobi has been dreadful for the past month with near daily showers but that didn’t put me off trying the lodge with it’s shared outdoor bathroom. The breakfast was delightful (try the american pancakes!) and most of the staff are a credit to the lodge. Location is close by to the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage, Giraffe centre, Giraffe Manor and Nairobi national park so...

I have a gluten free diet and the staff were so understanding and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs.
My flight was delayed and the helper manager at reception helped arrange a ln alternative flight. They were all filling hospitality grace and kindness. I felt welcomed on arrival and was comfortable on the room daily where the cleaners knocked to ask if you need anything every night. Over all an excellent experience

Highly recommended. Extremely helpful staff, very comfortable room and the grounds and garden are beautiful. There is a large pool and lots of places to relax in the gardens and several different restaurants to choose from. The airport transfer service was also excellent and waited for me despite my flight being very late.

We had a wonderful stay at Glee Nairobi. The hotel is modern and new, with clean, comfortable rooms. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, if you’re visiting Nairobi as a tourist, it’s worth noting that the hotel is quite far from the city center, and traffic can make getting there take some time.

Very good hotel for business or pleasure. Located about a 10 minute drive from the Nairboi National Park.
Room service can take a little while so be sure to give it 45 mins. Also one time when they forgot to bring a spoon for my soup they took 20 minutes to bring one up by which time I had finished it using a teaspoon in the room. Otherwise a great hotel.
