Parklands Shade Hotel, Nairobi, Kenia

Hotelli hyvällä paikalla, turvallinen ympäristö. Huoneet kivasti kalustettu, värikkäästi. Jääkaappi huoneessa hyvä. Suihku toimi ja lämmintä vettä tuli. Vedenkeitin ja kahvi mukava lisä. Ravintolat hienoja, kalustettu värikkäästi ja hauskasti. Oli kiva istua. Palvelussa hieman toivomisen varaa. Kaikki eivät puhuneet englantia tai ymmärtäneet, esim. vastaanotossa. Samoin ravintolassa piti sama tilaus antaa monelle eri työntekijälle ja odottaa kauan. Lopuksi ruoka ( kala) oli täysin epäonnistunut. Iltaisin kivaa ohjelmaa. Lähtiessä tilattu ja sovittu aamiaispaketti jäi saamatta.

Still my preferred option in westlands, very acceptable rate considering the given services and the current COVID conditions, they still have some problems in WiFi coverage in rooms area, but once you left to restaurants areas it works fine

I liked the service we received and was grateful for the driver who helped us the whole week. The TV only had 6 channels but thr WiFi was great so it was a big deal. Staff was very friendly and always asked about our comfort. Asante!

Tiny hotel next to one of the most happening clubs

Small room right next to one of the most happening bars in Nairobi. Walls are thin so you can hear the music until 2am but good location, great staff and good breakfast!

Kun hvis du er glad for højt musik natten igennem

Vi skulle nok ikke have checked in på dette hotel selvom det var meget spændende og anderledes blev det for meget med højt musik natten igennem i 2 nætter. Restauranten var god og mad og betjeningen var også rigtig god. men!!
