The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with reasonably good views, but the bathrooms could use some updating. The staff is attentive and kind, although they can be overly attentive at times. The location is convenient for shopping and exploring the city center. The dining experience is varied with excellent options but limited vegan choices. The facilities are well-maintained and satisfactory. Value for money is good overall.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated, spacious, and well-equipped, which was fantastic. The service, especially from Mark at the front desk, was exceptional and made me feel truly welcomed. The location, just opposite the Parliament, was unbeatable, making it my favorite in the city despite some minor inconveniences. The dining experience was top-notch, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the facilities provided, offering everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel has a very convenient location in Nairobi CBD, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are starting to show their age and could use a refresh, so booking a deluxe room is recommended. The services provided, including turn down service, come with extra charges that may feel like a rip-off. The dining experience, with a delicious buffet offering something for everyone, stands out as exceptional.

The hotel offers genuinely warm service right from arrival and ensures a home away from home experience. The rooms are clean with lovely comfy beds, but some areas need renovation. The central location provides convenience for exploring the city, although the lack of nearby attractions might be a downside. The dining options are amazing, but service can be unorganized at times. Overall, a somewhat dated hotel with potential for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms weren't what I had reserved, lacking comfort and being incredibly noisy. However, on the other hand, the executive room I was eventually given was very nice and well-appointed. The service was top-notch, particularly from Milton at the lounge, who made my 80th stay special with a dinner voucher and a cake treat. The location, despite being in the city center, had some procedural hassles at check-in, but the breakfast offered a good variety. The dining experience was superb, with a wide range of fresh options, but the facilities were not up to par, feeling outdated and not well-maintained.

The hotel offers spotless and spacious rooms with plugs for both American and European devices, though the bathrooms could use some updating. The service is genuinely warm and professional, although additional charges might be added unexpectedly. The location is central and convenient for shopping, but the surrounding area may lack cleanliness. The dining experience is excellent with a wide selection, but service may lack organization at times.

The hotel rooms are in need of renovation with tired decor and furniture; however, the club area was nice and the supervisors were organized. The service was efficient and friendly, making me feel safe with their excellent security procedures. The location is central in Nairobi, but there isn't much to do around the hotel in the evenings. The dining experience was exceptional, with one of the best buffets I have had, but it was quite expensive. The facilities need an update, especially the shower in the bath, but the hotel still offers good value for money.
