Tamarind Tree Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel to stay in right before heading out on safari from Wilson airport. In between international airport and Wilson. We got in at night and were leaving the following morning. No need to drive into Nairobi."

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

"All was good at the Heron Hotel."

Aero Club of East Africa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff. Lovely location. Good food. Excellent for Wilson airport."

Arova Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is nice and clean. Room is so cosy. Shower is perfect with a lot of water. Lights are excellent. Front desk is so helpful. There is a coffee place just next to the hotel. The only thing to note is that this is Muslim Hotel that follows Sharia law. You can't have anything in the hotel that Sharia law don't allow. There's mosque right in front of the hotel and it's loud during call to prayer. Area around the hotel is bit dusty. So in general, Arova Hotel is perfect and I recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi"
