Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Nairobi Arboretum
The staff are very kind and helpful. My only suggestion is you use a local coffee roaster called Rockbern for the coffee you serve in your restaurants. They do a fantastic job and I think your guests would enjoy their coffee. Thank you for everything I had a wonderful stay.
