Top University of Nairobi Hotel Reviews

Hotel Boulevard Nairobi, City Centre CBD

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly, room was clean, air conditioning worked well. Modern hotel"

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great experience. The room is spacious and super clean. The AC was priceless on a hot day. The only letdown, which was extremely puzzling, is that the TV was not a SmartTV. So, no Netflix, etc. For such a fancy place, at $300/night, that was very disappointing. Also, the food was a letdown. At least for the few items we ate: margarita pizza, cream mushroom soup, and ginger tea. Besides for those two areas, everything else was a 10/10. The hotel is also connected to a 1 minute walk to a 24/Carrefour grocery store, restaurants, and mall. Also, the buffet breakfast was a 10/10."

Fairmont The Norfolk

10/10 Excellent

"A QUIET, calm, clean, beautiful hotel, with amazingly helpful and friendly staff. And I do want to emphasise the importance of how the hotel and the room were quiet: although the hotel is in the very centre of the city, it was still quiet and very calm. A perfect base for your stay in Nairobi, whether you're in the city for work or for safaris."

Hyatt Place Nairobi Westlands

10/10 Excellent

"This property is far above the limit of only 5 stars. From the cleanliness of the property to the immense variety at the breakfast buffet to the physical location of the property, it can't be beat. The cherry on top of all the icing the the friendliness of the staff, always a smile to greet you, the way your name is always used in greetings, makes it ultra comfortable. This not only is for the staff but extends to ALL level of management. While management probably has an office somewhere in the building, the preference is be always visible and, like the Operations Manager, prefers to work on his laptop near the open lobby."
