We had a great time! The staff members are a dream, super nice and welcoming, always happy to help. Breakfast is great with a lot of options! Great location and facilities in the hotel. We’d definitely recommend! 10/10
The staff were amazing! Stephen, the concierge, met us at the door and took care of us like we were old family friends! The room was spacious and very comfortable!
Our stay at the Novotel was very pleasant, quiet, and felt safe. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend staying at this property!
With a trekking was very quick and efficient.We did not stay for breakfast.The only complaint I had is that the shower was actually cold! We had a very early morning flight, and I jumped in the shower at 3am and it was freezing cold!
We travelled with family of four from Australia. Novotel exceeded our expectations in everything, good for its price, rooms are clean and bed is wonderful, located between two big shopping malls Sarit and Westgate. Staff is awesome and very cooperative. Breakfast is basic, but good. We recommend this hotel to anyone. Very safe and comment for everything. We will definitely come back again.
Everything about this hotel scream 4 star and more. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Stephen was very knowledgeable about helping us navigate around this city and tours. Everyone went over and beyond at this hotel and we will come again. The food was excellent and the rooms are beautiful and very well kept.
Phenomenal four days in the very new Novotel; from staff to dining to room and amenities, the entire experience was fantastic. Beautiful views of the night sky in Nairobi via Trunk and Tandoor and exceptional hotel staff made it a comfortable and wonderful stay. A must for anyone looking for a great hotel in Nairobi Westlands
