I recently stayed at Royal Caanaan Nairobi for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is excellent, surrounded by malls and restaurants, all within walking distance. The front desk staff greeted me warmly, and the managers were very attentive. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and quiet, with a strong emphasis on security, which made me feel very safe. Although I didn’t have the chance to try the breakfast or visit the spa and pool, I was impressed by the amenities. One small downside was the presence of alcohol in the room, which might not be suitable for everyone, but the staff was very accommodating and removed it promptly. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The facilities are impressively modern one standout feature was the automatic door sign system for "Clean" or "Do Not Disturb," which was both convenient and thoughtful. The room was spotless and well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Great job to the entire team!

This is a nice location, away from the areas that riot when there is political unrest. The hotel is lovely. The staff is friendly, and there is a nice mall with food within a block or so if you get tired of hotel food. The hotel food is also good, but I like to get out and look around.

Disappointing

The corridors smelt like cigarettes. I was given a box of a room with 2 ridiculous sized chairs that were completely out of place for such a small room. AC was just air and no chill. Changed to a bigger room, also an odd space with a small window and an enormous blank wall that should’ve been a window . Won’t be back.

Poor maintenance, cold shower

It was my 3rd stay at Royal tulip and unfortunately with same bad experience with a basic issue which is the shower : cold and leaking, when i did the check-in at 10pm i kindly asked the front desk agent to give me a room without shower problem, and this is what he confirmed to me, but at my surprise: cold water & leaking shower, they couldn't do anything that night and morning time i took a cold shower too, and just two hours before my check-out they suggested to me another room which doesn't make sense.

This is 3rd time I stayed at this place, previous times were ok, but this time I noticed the service quality is declining (perhaps less competition) - This time was VERY disappointing. POOR Communication and POOR Trained Staff at front desk!! 1) Before I arrived, I sent them 2-3 messages requesting for Shuttle services (despite it's not free). No one answered my message, not even an apology when I reported it at front desk. 2) After a long-tired flight, I took an Uber and arrived at check-in, I gave the staff my ID, My Expedia booking ref# ... I said my booking was on Expedia (she looked a bit lost). I stood there for 25 min. waiting, while she's searching. I finally I told her to call her Manager, who probably instructed her to give me any room. Guess what? ... she puts me in a Room for ppl with disabilities (Fine), but not even 1 small bottle of water, and hot water takes forever to come :( They finally realized that (and changed the room) after I went downstairs complaining there's not even 1 small bottle of water in my room and asked 1 from restaurant (explicitly tell them to report that at front desk). Guess what? At check-out, the lady wanted me to pay for the water, telling me I should've ask her to send 1 blablabla. Until I said ... "you know I may report that in my review, right?" Then, she said hold on, let me call my Manager. Who finally asked her to remove it. If you're going there, make sure you find a way to communicate to avoid surprises and waste time.
